You guys are correct it depends on where you live. I'm unfortunately on the "Left Coast" so we've been shut down since March and continue to be. Some gyms and restaurants are starting to open back up defying the regulations as they are about to go broke. Hopefully enough of these small businesses open up, start a revolution, and we can overcome our West Coast government. Hawaii is a disaster for the people there too, and it's not getting any better due to poor governmental management. I vacationed in FL just to get a sense of normalcy and experience eating in a restaurant again, going to Disney World, etc. The West Coast has done a good job at putting the fear of death in most people, but we're getting to the point where many are realizing they aren't dead yet so let's move on.

I have a buddy who does Uber in his spare time in Arizona, he`s had a couple passengers that flew in from Commiefornia to get their nails and hair done.
How pathetic is that. Democrat tyrants

I did find a loophole out here on the west coast. Indian Casinos, they are their own nation so they don't have to abide by the regulations. We've been driving to the casinos (about an hour from home) so we can enjoy a sit down meal.

I still think we are going to take a hit like ICDEDPPL said and it isn't just because some of our states have shut down, this is going on world wide. Here in FL we are open but there are almost NO foreign visitors, companies world wide have closed etc.

The cruise port here has room for 7 ships at a time,,,,, nothing since March and at best will be April, maybe. That is a lot of money gone.

Its not like the US is a island, its a global economy and it will effect us as well.

When we went to FL last August for Disney and Universal it was a fantastic trip, the parks were empty. We literally had no lines at all, walk on the rides. Once in a lifetime experience for us.

Now imagine CA Disneyland still isn't open and will be closed for it's 2nd tourist season. Can you imagine the amount of $$ they are losing in CA and the infrastructure the theme parks being closed is hurting?

It's nuts.

36 year real estate appraiser- As other said it depends on which state, if your a red state you will likely fair better overall but do be mindful of those vacating Blue states that they not screw yours up. At LOTO we have seen a surge on out of state buyers and several large condo projects are underway. You cannot find any used boats, or at least last summer you couldn't, same for PWC's On the down side I am afraid we are going to see a good portion of the middle class really suffer and the commercial real estate side as well as the effects of the wu-han will effect a great portion of the market. With the global lockout and the appearance of trends to bailout states run by morons there will be shifts in the middle class. The policies of Pelosi and Kamala/Obama there will be regulation on a mass scale reversing current policies and will no doubt effect employment, expansion and corp tax structure with negative results. Likely to see the epa strong arm domestic energy policy which will effect base costs. Here in KC large Corps like Sprint, Cerner (etc) may have to change there structure as work at home may become the norm if Doc F has his way. Bankruptcy Filings are already on the rise at the District Level here in KC and we're likely to see that translate into foreclosures in the 3rd quarter in residential properties. Low interest rates will not help those people as projections suggest 5-7% foreclosure rates. This won't be the case for some states but in many others its gonna happen. Not all is doom, however given they are carpet bombing illegal ballets in GA its a very real situation not good for certain economic demographics as the Senate can blast through anything they want.. If your above those demographics your can weather the tide, if not its going to be difficult finding traction for certain segments of the population. Don't shoot the messenger..............., Signed Armed Infidel !!!!

Being deep into retirement we went cash as covid rumbling began so we exited the year economically as we entered which is fine. Spring/summer of 2020 we had flights cancelled to two of our favorite places, Mexico and the Azores. We'll get the vaccine and reschedule those trips later this year. Enjoyed the boat all summer as our singular getaway from the choas, cell phones silent and news radio banned. Didn't see family as much. It's going to be tough for a lot of people for a long time. The economy and stock market are two different animals.
