I'm nervous about the stock market but I was down 50% or so under Biden and it came back. I'm willing to take some temporary pain if it means bringing real jobs back to America. Bush/Clinton gave us a 'service' economy of ******** jobs where you're either a top dog making big bucks or a peon hoping for scraps and having to kiss ass to make a meager living. Just how the elites like it.I'm double maybe triple happy I voted for him.
Same here. Stocks bouncing back today as negotiations are underway. Let's hope it continues!I'm nervous about the stock market but I was down 50% or so under Biden and it came back.

I'm going to stop now. DOW went from 600 up to 400 down in about 5 minutes! 1,000 point swing!Same here. Stocks bouncing back today as negotiations are underway. Let's hope it continues!
The moron can’t help himself. He threatened china with higher tariffs so it dropped again.I'm going to stop now. DOW went from 600 up to 400 down in about 5 minutes! 1,000 point swing!
LOL, thanks for some levity.FFS ladies the SPY is down 11.5% for the month and 2.76% for the year with a 5 year 82% blowout but with a whopping 1.72% dividend yield, yeah that is one fluffy bubble pumped by punishing the bulk of Americans with inflation, thanks. I'm also a mini-stacker so I keep up in the price of precious metals and it makes me giggle when I tell my wife the total of the stack but then add that bread is 10 $ a loaf an exaggeration of course till one gets the insurance bill for the house which has risen 60% in 6 years and basically just gotten older.
Stop listening to the stock jobbers, Trump for 3 terms at least.
Freethinker, I'm glad you're able to lose 30-40 years of investing in a 401K and somewhere between $250,000-$1,000,000, but I would say that the majority of Americans can't.I’ll take it a step further, and I’m sorry for you guys heavily invested in the stock market (I have a 401K too), but I wouldn’t care if it went to zero if it meant that we had a healthy nation again.
Agreed. It just hurts a little on the front end when you think you've worked, invested and saved and you have a little $ and then it's suddenly going away. I've been through several of these as you have as well, and we'll get through this one too. I was just getting close to being in retirement mode, but that's not going to happen as I have started my own business.CS, I don’t want you or others to lose money in a perfect world. What I’m saying is that if was given an ultimatum of give my kids my savings of 1 million dollars in our current hellscape or give them a nation in which I described earlier, I’d choose the latter.
I obviously don’t think the market will go to zero, as I think the tariffs are mostly a tool to get other countries to drop or lower their tariffs on us. It’s also to get manufacturing back to the US, which will be critical for all future generations to come. I’m sure the ramifications of this “negotiation” will take time and the US as the largest consumer base is negotiating from a position of strength. I think as long as Trump stays the course and doesn’t buckle, we’ll come out in better position. I wouldn’t check daily (or weekly) stock prices as it’s only going to cause stress.
This 100%LOL, thanks for some levity.
I’ll take it a step further, and I’m sorry for you guys heavily invested in the stock market (I have a 401K too), but I wouldn’t care if it went to zero if it meant that we had a healthy nation again. And by that, I mean one with a booming manufacturing base that provided good paying jobs to our people, in our communities that have been ravished by “free trade” globalism. If our people could have these jobs again, we’d see dignity return, families grow and all vices of despair (drugs, alcoholism, gambling, etc) decline. I won’t put an (inflated) price tag on that for anything….
As long as republicans are able to keep power, it’s great. They can keep booting out illegals and keep immigration to a minimum. If the democrats get back in power though they are going to purposely open the doors wide open and it will be a complete disaster. The power struggle between right and left will eventually destroy the country.
Right on. I watch videos and am surprised by many of the comments. They have overplayed their hand. Big time. Only problem is I can see the bastards slowly trying to inch their way into spaces where they can regain control of the narrative, or at least slowly close off the opposition to their agenda.It's honestly not republicans. It's Trump and his brashness. Republicans have played the role of controlled opposition while lining their pockets for decades. They have "conserved" nothing and conceded to the communist left which is why this country is in it's current predicament. More hardline "republicans" in the vein Trump need to overtake the cuckservatives in order to keep this movement going. I do hope that the Trump movement has hijacked the republican party and more of his type will fill the ranks. Is Trump perfect? Not at all. Is he better than any other president during my lifetime? Yes without a doubt.
The cat is out of the bag with the left, the media overplayed it's hand during the Biden administration, decentralized information is everywhere now and easily accessible so the propagandists no longer control the narrative. The only way in which they can is via censorship and silencing social media which I think at this point cannot be done without more people waking up. I do hope the pendulum continues to swing back the other way after seeing it only go in one direction my whole life to this point.
Wow, if Pocahontas is getting all lathered up about this guy's confirmation it must be a good thing:
Indeed. The fork-tongued liar Bibi has been claiming since the 1980s that Iran is just a few years from enriching uranium. That’s always the justification to “strike first” against the “evil” Iran. Meanwhile Israel is genociding as we speak and has a history of attacking their enemies unprovoked.https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...aking-irans-supreme-leader/story?id=122868515
Israel continues to move the goal posts - first it was strikes against "basically Hitler's nuclear team" - yes Netanyahu said that in the linked article (a tactic used into oblivion by war mongering Zionists to try and evoke empathy and support) and now Israel wants to push regime change all the while trying to pull the US into a direct conflict for the benefit of Israel. For pretty much my entire life the US has been involved in the Middle East, the original lie was that it was all about the oil reserves. It's apparent especially this century that Israel desires a destabilized middle east in which it can reign over and continue the land grabs unabated.
Won't be surprised to see another false flag sometime soon.
I’m with you, my friend I don’t give a rats ass about Israel or Iran. They can blow the hell out of each other as far as I’m concerned. No American soldier should ever die on foreign soil again.Indeed. The fork-tongued liar Bibi has been claiming since the 1980s that Iran is just a few years from enriching uranium.

I prefer peace but there will be none with Israel meddling. So I don’t “stand with Israel” like the whore politicians. In fact, I hope Iran wipes them out if it comes to a full fledged war of jewish aggression.
