Of course you do. That's why you support a party that believes there are 50 different genders.

A reasoned response to your choice(s) would be welcomed.




Mine is Trump and smart investors. I have openly stated that this would be a huge fire sale and that you should have invested in this downturn. Nearly 1 TRILLION in retail sales in less than 2 months. A staggering record because of our strong economy.


Sorry if that flew over your heads.


The 401k isn't looking as bad as it did 3 days ago, eh? Oh wait, you sold out to cut your losses? OOPS, sucks to be you.
Haaar! Taking glee in others travails, with a cheap shot thrown in for good measure………….sucks to be you.

If the markets are down today, which futures are pointing to, will it become the Dems' fault again? The mental gymnastics must be exhausting.

And yeah, I'm thrilled with the drops as some posters indicated. I just love the fact that my son's college fund is down now that he's a sophomore in high school. Not even checking my 401K, IRA's, or mutual funds for a while. Yep tickled pink.

Morons.

Actually if you are not checking your accounts, researching things, and making some changes --- if you are just sitting around doing nothing and hoping for the best, then it is you who is acting moronic. Put half your money in cash / treasuries as a starting point. Free advice.

The information is out there if you are willing to put in the time.

Dead cat bounce. Hoping the bounce was also testing the bottom. We could use some plain old boring +/- very little for a few months.

September 2018 - Trump in office for almost 2 years -- this fool is up there blabbering to his peeps that he's responsible for the strong economy.

Business degree but no I am not a financial advisor. No worries - most of those guys aren't anything more than salesmen. Give me analysts. Give me what Peter Lynch says, Warren Buffett, Jim Cramer (yes I am a fan). Those 3 guys are all you need, along with some do it yourself work.

Trump's constant tweets regarding the Fed, Stock Market, Tariffs, China and other issues have caused market destabilsation and have caused turbulance in the market place.

Markets like certainty and Trump is so unpredictable that is tweets are causing chaos.

It's intersting to note that he hasn't tweeted much about the economy over the Christmas Period and this has actually helped the markets.

As for the trillion in retail sales, how much was on-line and how much was in relation to imports.
