[QUOTE=Uthred;2445617]"More blood on the streets". I can see that being a possibility. Basically it's like hitting the roulette tables in Vegas LOL. Thanks for the advice.[/QUOTE]The shale oil producers tanked so much that some have gone up 40% since the March low. The stock price is so low that you can just buy them for the long term with less risk associated with the future. I don't think there is a need to rush to buy.
[QUOTE=Uthred;2445369]Is there a platform one can use or do you have someone handling this kind of stuff for you? I want to get in on the action. I'm in on crypto but would like some more diversity.[/QUOTE]The specific example I gave is irrelevant now as the May contract expired on Tuesday. However, there's a rational reason the May contract traded well below zero. These are physically-deliverable commodities. If you are long the contract and you can't sell if before expiration, you have to take delivery. And to take delivery, you have to have an empty storage facility in Cushing, OK. Absent that, you could maybe transport the crude somewhere else where you had a facility (to a tanker at open sea is one alternative). Absent being fortunate enough to have an empty storage facility in Cushing, it's going to be very expensive to take that oil. Expensive enough that people were willing to pay you to take that hot potato off their hands.
[QUOTE=Bienenstich;2440564]How much of a nuisance is it to get BBFS from pros in Bogota or Medellin?
I'm assuming it's not as convenient as in the Philippines where I feel like it's standard.
In Thailand I have to run around asking a lot but the success rate is acceptable.[/QUOTE]I've gotten BBFS and bb anal from girls in Bogota on every trip. Sometimes it takes a little longer than others, but not always. My last time in Santa Fe I banged a stunning 20 year old Venezuelan chica BBFS bb anal with CIM. Each additional thing was like 50 K COP. I think I gave her like 180 total plus the 30 for the room. Had her email but I haven't heard from her in over a year.

Hello all,
So I was originally planning to visit Colombia in June and July. It's my understand that I would have been able to fly into the country but everything would have been closed. What would be the point of going if I couldn't find lovely chicas. I postponed my trip to 2021. I wanted to share an email I received from a local tour guide that helped me make my decision:
"It is difficult to get a straight answer as we also do not have the full picture here. But I try to give you a better understanding of the current situation in Colombia. 2 days ago the general quarantine was prolonged until the 25/5. National airlines told me, that they will take up operation on 31/5 again. The government said that also after the quarantine strong measures will stay in place. So it is not sure when people can travel within the country again. Most likely traveling within the country will be very restricted for some more time. Currently traveling from one town to another is not permitted.
My opinion is that also after the quarantine we will not be able to move freely within the country for at least another month. By when national parks, movie theaters, museums and nightlife will start their operation again is in the stars. I feel that we will face very strong restrictions for at least until end of August. I also postponed all my client trips until and with August to next year. Some of my local providers told me that they will not open before November. Also we do not know yet when intercontinental flights will arrive again to Colombia. ".
I'm sure all why'all are dealing with different situations and the difficulties of these messed up pandemic. I hope to see you in Colombia in 2021.
It was bad enough being old before this fucking virus. Now consider this. Older people it appears have a stronger chance of dying if they catch the virus. That is a given but I have heard no one mention the time factor. It would seem it may be next year before things return to normal. OK if your 40 years old that is not really that bad. Try that on for example if you are 74.
I am not looking for sympathy. Believe this or not I'm trying to make the younger guys on the forum look at the bright side as they have many more years ahead of them to partake of the festivities.
I'm still strong and not scared to get back in the arena. Put me in coach.

A buddy of mine has scheduled a trip for September later this year, but he is ready for a 14-day confinement stay. He usually goes there for months at a time. As for me, I don't want to go through the 14-day confinement stay, as I usually stay only 2 weeks.

First, we were told social distancing was supposed to flatten the curve. Great, mission accomplished. Thing is that there was no plan after that. Now, social distancing is being touted as life saving when it was NEVER intended or proven to do that and now that people including the Colombian government have had the shit scared out of them, they are reluctant to go back to normal. The media is doing the same thing as they have with AIDS and heterosexuals, touting that young people can die from Covid too even though it is so rare for that to happen.
Peru locked down much more brutally and strongly than Colombia did, and have you seen the difference in cases between the two? Peru has 60,000 cases and Colombia, with a population of 20 million more people, has 10,000. If it is all about social distancing, why is that? BECAUSE IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT SOCIAL DISTANCING!!
If you have been to Lima, you know that every day is the same. Look at the weather: [URL]https://www.google.com/search?q=humidity[/URL]+in+lima+peru&rlz=1 C1 CHBF_enMX893 MX893&oq=humidity+in+lima&aqs=chrome. 0. 0 j69 i57 j0 l6. 3055 j1 j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8.
It is always like this. The temperature and humidity are constant. If you want to grow fucking anything, this is the kind of weather you want.
Compare that to Bogota. Shit, you have sun one hour, then rain the next, 45 degrees one hour and 70 a few hours later and low oxygen content due to the altitude. In Bogota, you have to have layers of clothes and an umbrella. I asked one on my chicas why she was caring an umbrella when it was sunny out, and she looked at me like I was crazy, "Because it is Bogota", she said and sure enough it started raining shortly after. This is a horrible climate to grow most things.
Thing is Lima and Bogota are both bad air pollution wise, both bad when it comes to population density.
Do we even need to predict what pols in Bogota and Colombia are going to say as to why they have been hit so much less than Lima and Peru? Of course, it is because they did such a bangup fucking job, and they are going to keep at it. I am so frustrated.
What needs to be done with the virus is to accept that it is super contagious and going to spread. Allow your low risk people to be exposed so herd immunity develops. A vaccine is fantasy land right now. Isolate the sick. Isolate those at high risk and let the rest of us either go about our business or take our chances. I do not get why Covid is so much worse than other diseases given the most recent data we have. What is the alternative? Texas opened up May 1, and we have not seen the explosion of cases so far. Do you know what I am seeing now that I have not before? Traffic. I actually missed traffic. It meant people were up alive and doing.
I do not understand this isolation bullshit if you come in from abroad when the virus is spreading domestically but if someone is doing it, everyone is. Here in Texas, you have to self-isolate if you come in from places like NYC, Miami, or Atlanta. A Colombian chica of mine had to self-isolate when she got back from Mexico, which at the time was a very low risk area. The government called her several times to check on her.
Maybe if you have a test + for antibodies, you do not have to self-isolate. Never mind the fact that many of those tests are shit. Maybe that will be the way back in sooner rather than later.
I just offered to fly a 24 year old from Alabama here to Texas. She didn't want to fly because of the virus. At age 24. How fucked up is that? A 24 year old afraid to fly means the world has gone full xxxx now.
I am going to push my tickets way back into the fall now. I predicted June or July for flying into Colombia to resume and I still think that, but that is going to be with quarantines it looks like.
People are still worried about heterosexual AIDS still. It is going to be years for things to get back to normal now over a super contagious virus that just so happens to be no deadlier than the flu in most people. Jesus. And for what?

I sent 3 webcam girls money down there over about 4 months for photos / videos. Not too much about 30 k-40 k pesos each.
Anyway, when I went to send the 3rd girl money by Western Union, the clerk started asking me if I knew these people and seemed suspicious that I was sending to another person.
Does anyone have any experiences with this? Did I get flagged or something?
