Exactly. The "he is better than the guy that can't think" is pretty low praise.


And there it is. LibCrowder13 can't resist


He's a lib because he called Biden someone who can't think?


No he's a lib because he's a lib

And that was not the point of his post. Read harder


Ah. Feel free to point out the liberal policy positions he has. I must have missed them.

I'd complain about this tiring back and forth but it sure beats reading libs taking pot shots and pissing down their legs whenever there is a dip in the market.

Dow jumps 400 points on solid jobs report

S&P 500 heads for longest winning streak in 20 years

this thread will soon go down just like the one from 4 years ago dismissing all Biden inflation as "transitory"

Damn. We keep getting bad news. And by bad news i mean good economic news. DJIA up almost 500 points.

Ever since this thread was made the market just keeps beating the negative Nancie's back into the shadows.

I was pleasantly surprised by the jobs report. My industry has most of its manufacturing in China (tech), so hiring has ground to a halt while we wait to see what happens.

100% correct. Every negative inflation report under Biden found Boyd in every thread trying to defend it.

More like reading the actual report to figure out what the headline number actually meant.

You know, using my head instead of just having the MSM tell me.

Stock market has been on a great run these last 2 weeks.

Tariff pause
Relaxing on the fire Powell rhetoric
Q1 earnings (especially in tech)

All have helped tremendously. If the pause had not happened, I think we'd be in a different situation. And as some have said, still down 8% from highs.

If you work hard, save, avoid debt and buying stupid stuff, you too can have money in the bank.

Victim and blame culture is alive and well I see. Never change whiners. Never change.

Taking massive risks and working my ass off turned me into a millionaire from negative net worth within 10 years of graduation. The market, as well as real estate investments paying off after a decade, helped bump that up to multimillionaire status. If I can do it, anyone can. Just don't be a ***** and blame everyone else for you having to actually do the hard work to make it happen. Take some risks and bet on yourself. If those risks don't work out, do it again. And again. If those all don't work out, take a hard look in the mirror. Or work harder. But stop with the damn blaming and acting like a victim.

Can't speak for everyone else, but I'm middle aged, but self made. No inheritance here. Went to college in a scholarship, worked my way up, eventually became a business owner and help others with their savings.

What your generation needs to learn badly is patience and to work. Do those two things and you'll be fine. Or follow the AOC/Bernie's class warfare and watch those socialist leaders stay rich on the grift from folks who get jealous constantly over their lack of holdings that they could easily have if they will be patient and work hard.

Oh please.

Many of us did not get anything, or got very little, from our parents; nor will we once they are gone.

We earned it ourselves the old fashion way; by hard work.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Many people did not inherit assets from parents or grandparents. They got what they got by working harder, working smarter, working more than one job, taking risks, obtaining marketable skills, watching how they spent their money, and saving/investing part of what they earned. Most likely they did many of those things.

The younger generation you mention would be well advised to emulate most or all of that rather than complain, whine, and lie about the success of others.

If you need stock market money to pay everyday expenses, you're doing it completely wrong.

I will get some inheritance. Because my parents worked their arses off and saved and invested well. But it will be only a small fraction of my retirement. The rest I worked my arse off for and saved and invested well. Same for my two sisters and their husbands.

You are correct. Looking back it seems the pause was a result of ongoing negotiations.

I seem to think the point of the original imposition of tariffs was to ignite negotiations. Was and still is a gamble, however, the U.S. seems to be holding better cards than most other nations.

The announcement of $2 trillion are committed to bringing back manufacturing and another $6 trillion is under negotiations that should indicate we're heading in the right direction.

Still a gamble, but odds are turning in the favor of a more equitable international market.

The pause happened because bond yields rose precipitously. Trump even said so.

The market looks great since Trump shut up paused his idiotic ideas. The football spiking before the impacts of the tarrifs actually manifest is bizarre to me. Here's hoping the 90-day pause is permanent.
