Hey Trump where's the economy that you claimed that "its the best ever." Where is it?

I don't see an awesome economy.

men, women and children are dying and more will die. workers won't get paid due to canceled events, reduced customer traffic, and being quarantined. businesses will go under. people will be financially devastated. That doesn't sound like the hallmarks of an economy that's the best ever.

Trump has lied!

Dumbest post ever. All the global markets are down because of coronavirus and the oil war between Russia and OPEC.

Not true.


It wont be a "very small investment" as you described, the cost of those call options will be expensive because the of how much the VIX(volatility) has increased in this fall.


A call spread would be more appropriate with the elevated volatility.

Lol at least you crazy kids are doing your best to spin a global pandemic into something Trump did wrong. Have to give you credit for trying and not being concerned about embarrassing yourselves.

I can't imagine being that much of a partisan hack.

Not sure where you're getting this assertion from. I voted for Bush, quite enthusiastically, as I felt he was vastly better than Gore. I voted for McCain, unenthusiastically, only because I felt he was marginally better than Obama. I voted for Romney, with a moderate amount of enthusiasm, because I felt he was somewhat better than Obama. And I voted for Trump, enthusiastically, because I felt he was vastly better than Clinton (among other reasons).

This it the world according to Trump and his minions - when the stock market goes UP - it's all due to trump and his policies. When the stock market goes DOWN - it's everyone else's fault.

Maybe you should try being honest too, because today WAS the largest point drop ever (by far), and we hit -17% in past few weeks, so you can sit there and pretend nothing is happening, but that is simply not honest. Its a big deal.

True. The leftists are so excited to have something else to blame on Trump.

NAFTA was crafted in the Reagan Admin.

Bush 2 did the ceremonious signing with Canada and Mexico subject to Congress approval.

The voters rejected Ross Perot and instead elected Clinton.

Most Republicans voted in favor and enough Democrats did too.

Clinton signed it. Had he vetoed it, it would have flown once Republicans controlled both chambers.
