I read that post before. Again, I repeat, all schools, including ODU lost players. And I would add that it was our SEC offense players against their Sun Belt defensive players. Think about that.

This is why he’s not being genuine.

It isn’t even like when Muschamp lost to App State who was a legitimate good team with a great coach. ODU was preseason predicted to finish toward the bottom of the Sun Belt.

If it makes you Trump supporters feel better about me :D I have predicted that Trump will win. I said that before Biden dropped out and shortly after. After seeing Harris' surge, I went to "coin toss". But now I see, or more accurately am hearing, that Harris' momentum has slowed. And I recently looked at swing state polls. The numbers show that as well. As you know, it's the swing states that matter. So I am back to predicting a Trump win.

One other comment: whoever wins may be a loser. I have been on an Elliott Wave investment site since 2016. Ever since then, the "waves" have indicated we will have a deep recession in the latter part of this decade. Hope that's wrong.

One of my goals is to break the record in my family for longevity (at least the age I'm aware of). If I don't, that's fine. I look forward to a reunion with family and friends. It's amazing and sad to me how many people I went to school with have passed on. That's especially true of girls I knew. smh

How do you define inflation? By the numbers Biden is offering you?

Mortgages are up close to 300%.

Gas the same at times.

Groceries and everyday items are between 30-70%.

Did your 401K do 300% in 3.5 years?

Can't be. Because the market under Biden hasn't done 20%.

Facts plus you must consider GDP under biden is propped up almost entirely by unnecessary/made up government jobs that will be eliminated upon their departure

I am in agreement with your first paragraph.

Regarding your 2nd paragraph, I try to have goals in my investments. TO BE CLEAR, I DO NOT ALWAYS MEET THOSE GOALS. My goals are to get a 25% overall investment return for the year, to beat the S&P 500 by 12% and, most importantly, to beat inflation by 10%. Sometimes I meet all those goals and sometimes I just meet some. I'm sure that I probably have failed to meet all three in a year. But I tend to erase bad from my memory. :D But that last goal regarding inflation is my most important goal.

Like I said, I tend to erase "bad" from my memory. (As fellow Gamecock football fans, I'm sure most of you can identify.). One of my favorite movies was "The Art of Racing in the Rain". A quote from that movie that has stuck with me is:

"The best drivers focus only on the present, never dwelling on the past, never committing to the future".

That's easier said than done. To me, that's the best way to go about in life, whether that's investing, sports, politics, personal relationships, what have you. One of golfer Jack Nicklaus' strengths was his focus and concentration. He was able to compartmentalize things on the course. He did OK in his golf career.

I'm done philosophizing.

Watkins arrested

F
Ward Jr said:
Do the details of this warrant below sound nebulous?

The recantment was probably accompanied with an enhancement.

Again, the everyday man is headed to court for these charges.

-------------

"Watkins was arrested in Columbia, South Carolina following a warrant, filed by the University of South Carolina Police Department and obtained by PEOPLE MAGAZINE, stating that Watkins allegedly assaulted the victim by “forcefully grabbing her face, pulling her arms and pushing.”

"The warrant includes claims that Watkins picked up the victim against her will and “grabbed the victim’s head and forced her to walk down the hall, thus controlling her movement while preventing her from leaving."

"The victim was able to escape and pulled a fire alarm, per the warrant. Local police and fire officials then arrived on the scene and the victim was treated for non life-threatening injuries."
Click to expand...

If you watched the WIS report it made mention of the victim being restrained by Watkins from jumping off the ledge of a parking garage. The arrest warrant was made without a full investigation of the details which will be forthcoming. Why the need to sexualize and politicize this event? Not what anyone should expect from an alumni or a true gamecock fan. I don't believe you are either.

Just a clarification: Clinton had a figurative balanced budget in that government spending was less than the amount budgeted that year. A true balanced budget means that the government spends only what it receives in tax revenues. Clinton, like all presidents during the last 70 years, still had to borrow money to spend that year thereby adding to the national debt. A balanced budget in government speak is not how companies and states operate.

Another point: of course your portfolio increased during Obama and Biden; they both dumped so much money into the economy that almost all investors profited — including me. But the work-a-day Joes were crushed due to the inflationary impacts when the government dumped money into the economy.

Goldman Sachs this week said economic growth (GDP) would get the biggest boost with a Harris administration than a Trump administration. They also said job growth would be stronger under Harris and that inflation under Trump would be higher due to his tariff proposals. My portfolio did much better under Clinton (who had the last balanced budget), Obama and Biden than it did under W. Bush and Trump, who both increased the budget deficit.

Same here Stock.

I just get a little amped up about those who believe Harris's policy is anything but a disaster for all Americans.

It's very easy to prove.

I understand Ward. I really do. Believe me, she was nowhere near my preference. Not even close.

I will just add, I HATE, that you and I APPEAR to be contentious towards each other. I really, really do. That's not my style. You just have to take my word on that not being my style because you don't know me "face-to-face".

I have measured my gains by inflation numbers that have come out of both Democratic and Republican administrations. And again, that's going back some 30 years plus.

Do you understand how foolish you're sounding right now?

You're crunching numbers without any context.

I've referenced Clinton.

Obama held office for 8 years.

He printed more money than any other President in history.

The gains were Fugazzi.

Trump did something similar for 4 years.

HOWEVER, he reinvested it in America! Not in sham wars and climate change BS.

You are the foolish one. My gains have way outpaced inflation.

And again, average out the gains per year under Clinton and Obama and compare them to Trump's.

The fact is Clinton and Obama were re-elected by the American people. Trump was not.

For starters, Democrats have held office for more years during the time period referenced.

Secondly, they've printed more money during their terms which totally offsets your gains.

Third, Clinton's term went bonkers because of the internet. Not his economic policy.

But you keep doing you.
Click to expand...
Yes, I read your excuses before and now again. Again, the markets did better in the past 30 years under Dem Presidents than Republican Presidents. The market went up 210% under Clinton and 180% under Obama. Even averaging them out, Trump came nowhere near that.

My gains have way, way beaten inflation.

Again, I read your excuses.

Please see my latest Watson post.

We have new everything on offense. This year is going to be a slog.

If the offense starts to gain any momentum during the season, let's see if we can hang onto the guys who make that happen this time around. :)
