You're like Richie Cunningham on Happy Days putting the whole ROTC squad on report for the most minor issues. Grow up. Especially when you're the king of derailing threads, by trolling them, which is not at all what I'm doing. I'm discussing an important topic.
We are on the same page. But the union guy that spoke at Liberation Day was not. The last strike they had was all about pushing back on automation.
@vkj91 I think I lost a years worth of RU for a year today
Blah, blah, blah. You have been watching too much of Joe, Minka, Rachel, Wolf, etc. Take the gun away from your head, place it carefully on the floor and get some help.
Bahahahaha sure nimbers, all that asian pornhub is rotting your brain away. You wrote in below post "... as an aside, instituting huge new taxes (yes, tariffs are taxes) to fund tax cuts primarily for the wealthy is not what was promised, economically, back in Nov - the focus was supposed to be on lowering costs/reducing inflation on Day One - where did that go?--Obviously you didn't remember or understand Trump did nothing but promise that tariffs were on his agenda. So try again to prove you mentioned anything to the contrary earlier today. I'll hang-up and wait.
I suggest screaming at the sky. That apparently makes your type feel better.
Hahahahahahahaha keep flailing away to try covering up how wrong you were in your post about Trump talking tariffs during his campaign.
blather on some more idiot:
ooof so outta your lane (if you really have one PangoBro)
It doesn’t have to all come back here but let’s get it out of unfriendly places like China.
How is it a terrible take. You guys spent last 24 hours cleaning world was ending. I had a great day. Tomorrow might be different but world isn’t ending.
Crap load of emotional posts for a guy who was barely dented today.
Didn't realize you retired - congrats. After working as a part-time consultant for about 18 months after retiring in Jan-2020 (just in time for the pandemic, lol), I had had enough of work and love full time retirement.
Where do you see emotion? I don't - just posting facts and observations. None of this stuff impacts me directly given a very conservative portfolio constructed largely for preservation, since we have more than enough for the very long haul, but I hate to see friends and others taking hits and with deep worries about their financial futures. It's called empathy - you should try it sometime.
If you have real money in the market, need it now, and didn’t prepare for this you don’t deserve empathy. If you don’t need it now you will be just fine.
Except you and the rest of the CE goon squad are incapable of having a civil discussion.
Report them. They will be banned from the thread soon enough.
Starting to think about TQQQ as a trade. But also converting VOO to SSO for a longer run. This is when 2x and 3x ETFs of the broad indexes become very compelling.
Much like it all isn't coming back here, it's also not leaving China completely. And some of that trade leaving China was something that happened post Covid. Hence all the Vietnam talk.
Adding to some holdings. AMZN, GOOGL. Added to Meta yesterday, may add more.
Not a "good day", he had a "great day".
It’s a stock and investment thread. No one said the world was ending. But plenty said the market was going to get crushed. Maybe you don’t have a lot of stocks and it didn’t impact you. But down 5% in one day is a big deal. For context, S&P was up over 20% the last two years.
Some of us have empathy for people who make mistakes or who just weren't fortunate enough to make/save enough money to not worry about such things. You don't. We get it. You ought to read Captain Gilbert's observations about empathy. It's probably why you don't even like being with your family on the holidays.
But is this the washout? At least a short term bottom?
lol. People said the the American people
Going to be tough to time it right; if we have another day like yesterday, the average Joe who hasn’t yet checked their brokerage account or 401k will be in panic mode. There has been HUGE concentrations in the mag 7, and they are getting crushed. It’s okay for the people who have had them in portfolio for the last 2 years, but the Jonny come lately’s, and there are many, could panic.
