Dow UP over 1300 point pretrade and now opens just as big.

The only people being kicked are Trump supporters who will be paying for his stupidity when the blowback happens and their cost of living escalates, but they're too numb from the neck up to realise it. Oh, and as far as doddering old fools are concerned, remind us how old Trump is, and how many casinos the financial genius managed to bankrupt.

To be fair, Trump has bankrupted fewer casinos than Canada... not that Canada is known for their economic savvy...

Bankruptcy is allowed by law. How many businesses have you started?

Ok, which Casinos have been bankrupted 'by' Canada, and where? You talk about not having economic savvy? Would you like to discuss Trump's routine business failures? You go first...

 
Rebought positions in SCHD, SCHG, JEPI and JEPQ in my cash account on the dip. Liked the inflation print this morning.

A person starts 30 businesses. some of them don't go well because of the economy or whatever and he files legally for bankruptcy. His success ratio is 80%.
OTOH some dolt never starts a business, and his success rate is the same as his failure rate of zero. In his armchair at home, he calls the billionaire a failure.
 
I think this is projection.

I can read. I can do basic math.

I am allowed to think about what that means and what may come of it.

For you it’s more religion than rationality.

Trump said it.

You believe it.

That settles it.

I’m still not seeing how this serves all of us and not just the billionaire class brown noses in hopes of finally at almost 80 getting let in their club club for real.

They don’t like him. He has no class. Isn’t very bright. Isn’t actually successful.

But they will hold that carrot out to him.

And he will continue to give them what they want as long as they do.

They’re playing chess.

He’s playing tiddlywinks.
You think that because you are incapable or thinking beyond your ideology.

Pretending it’s religion for me while you can find tons of posts of mine calling out Trump for the idiot he is just shows that it is you who take things on faith and not me.

More made up nonsense. Tell me do you think posting straight up lies is really a convincing argument. But please quote a post mine believing trumps lies. I bet you can’t. The question will be to see if you have the integrity to admit you’re full of shit. I doubt you do. But who knows.

Again I have called out trumps tariffs for being idiotic numerous times. Try coming up with a different strawman as this one is rather pathetic.

No one with much of a brain likes Trump so there is that.

But hey you have your partisan ideology and your straight up lies so at least you have that going for you.

A person who destroys just about every business he starts, and you defend failure? It's nothing to do with economy or any other pathetic excuse, and everything to do with Trump's incompetence. Note the word, 'failure', and how often it crops up. You elected an incompetent, ignorant, uneducated moron. As his former Wharton professor correctly observed, "Donald Trump was the goddam dumbest student I ever had".

Every day folks we get an example of incredible irony 👆

I mean, just read that sentence again, and just go :rolleyes:

I am sorry that my factual statement hurts your feelings. But it is what it is.
 
He has a big mouth loaded with hot air, that’s for sure, but my bets are based on the idea that the Mr. Market is actually stronger. 💪



The “Wizard of Oz” ’described himself as a phony.


I think you chose the wrong Wiz.
The Orange Man would never be so forthcoming.

The demands for world trade will always be stronger than Trump's insatiable ego.
 
You guys are comical. Maybe we seen the bottom, but maybe we didn't. I'd give it a 50-50 chance. Never the less... 'enjoy' the ride.

The ride to economic collapse is not something to enjoy. We have seen the bottom. It is called Trump’s second term. How low can he go?
 
I am sorry that my factual statement hurts your feelings. But it is what it is.
Another irony post. My pointing to your previous ironic statement actually hurt your feelings or you would just have rolled by. 🤣
Here is my bet, you won't be able to let this go and will try to get the last word in, just to prove to me your feelings weren't hurt. ;)
 
The market, the market, the market is not important to the individual investor. What is important is how savvy the investor is. Is the investor aggressive or conservative? Is the investor heavy into the AI world or diversified across the spectrum? How old is the investor? Is the investor firmly planted in the investments or panicky at the first tremor? How much risk is acceptable to the investor? And so on and so on.

The market impacts a lot more people than individual investors. People who have little control over how the market impacts their retirement funds, for example.
 
Lots of short covering. I wonder the markets are being manipulated by the Chinese. Is China doing all the buying just prior to capitulating on trade?

I wonder if making things up means they are true? Naaaaah!

Did someone post links?
 



You could tell they were going to open well when there was no daily doomsday thread about futures and how the markets had done in Japan.

This is huge out the gate but also as I said, many folks are making money today. Some see panic. Others see opportunity.
And the markets tumbled again

Yup
 
And the markets tumbled again

Yup
All the while your guy Schiff and gal AOC claim he said, "It's a good time to buy" and they want a congressional investigation of his comments.

Hey, Trump has no business accumen.

Canada just does worse with casinos. They fail all the time up there. Silver Dollar, Camrose, Gateway, Eagle River etc...

And that's just this century.

How they do shit worse than Trump, I don't know. Literally they are fighting with him for last place on the casino **** up chart... and they are winning.

Doesn’t matter which “Wiz” you pick. They were all phonies, although in all cases truth ultimately prevailed. But in this instance Richard Pryor’s version, Herman Smith, a failed politician from New Jersey, is undoubtedly the most appropriate.
