Well, our Poor

They've already been proven wrong. The markets look fine and ready to fly. The economy numbers are good.

Polymarket has the chances of a recession below 25%. No one cares what Senator Bozo has to say on the matter.

Trump is meeting with Xi today in the UK.

If he secures that trade deal, you're going to have have the exact opposite of a recession the 2nd half of the year.
Man oh man, I hope you are right and I'm wrong. I suspect we will know by the end of this year.

By the way, if you are right, I will need to demand part of a refund from our beloved University of South Carolina. I was pro-tariff until around 1973 when an International economics professor converted me. :)

I hope you are right cocks rule. I like what you say. If you are wrong, I still believe I will be fine. But, I don't know about family.
Agree 100%. Fiscally responsible people will be fine but if this does go south hard most living on the edge will be eviscerated. It’s gonna get those people sooner or later no matter what. Might as well learn today
 
You argued to me numerous times that the inflation was just "cyclical" and not Biden's fault. Then gave several different time periods in order to try to make it fit. You've always painted a rosy picture for anything Democrats are involved with and labeled the good times as the results of Democrat policies. Don't give me the "call it as I see it" bullshit. You always see it from the side of the Democrats.

No president in our lifetime has ever made a decision like Trump is doing with the tariffs that directly cause inflation.

Yeah Trump and Biden both contributed to inflation with their pandemic bills. But those were at least rationally related to a global pandemic. There is nothing the tariffs are in response to other than Trump's inclination.

Guys, let me tell you what I'm watching like a "hawk". I'm keeping my eyes on the 30-year US Treasury Bond. When/If it goes over 5%, that is akin to getting the "2 minute" warning towards the end of the 4th quarter. Of course, it can go over 5% and then go under. If it is sustained over 5% for 2 weeks, we are in trouble. Right now, it is at 4.959%

You can call me partisan until the cows come home. I don't care. But, if you take the time to do a search, I believe I posted on this site praising the hire of Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary. I believe he is the very best hire Trump has made in either presidential term. I do call them as I see them. And I still like Bessent (and, by the way, him being a South Carolina boy has nothing to do with my praise). If anyone can keep us out of economic trouble, it's Bessent. That guy is smart. I just hope Trump listens to him. I THINK he is listening to him.

But, anyway, watch that 30-year Treasury Bond.

I'm not sure what your definition is of "ready to fly". I'm not a fan of Jim Cramer. But, he is right when he says there's always a bull market somewhere. But, I would not generalize as a whole regarding the market.

All that said, I'm 100% in the market. But, I'm in the Jim Rogers camp in that I don't diversify. My attitude is "go big or go home". That approach serves me well as my portfolio hit an all time high for me this morning.

Watching this California trash going on right now I think it’s time to cut em loose. They have lost the state and have zero interest in stopping the violence. Walk away. Give innocents 30 days to get out and wall the entire state off. Make it a prison state to house all criminals since most reside there anyway.

I don't think it's a matter of having zero interest in stopping violence. It's a matter of them wanting the violence.

Then they can splatter pics of cops making arrests and claim how trump is a fascist, and how violent the country is under him. All the while never being called out for being the cause of the violence.

California has the 4th largest economy in the world. They would be better off if they didn't have to subsidize your health care.

And Trump fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

You’re right. They are paying these terrorists to burn their own city. Spending our hard earned tax dollars fighting against America and Americans. It’s time to roll in the Marines and mow these terrorists down once and for all. Take America back now or lose it forever. That’s where we are.
 
And there has never been a bigger subhuman turd than Gavin Newsom, especially with his weird mannerism. Total POS. I hope he runs in 2028. Republicans could beat him with anybody.

Many states are ready to go their own way. Many in Texas, Northern California and Eastern Oregon are ready to secede now. I suspect that America has never been so divided.

So you think we are in for a "greater depression" and the bond market has us almost at the 2 minute warning, but you are all in on the market with no diversifcation?

That's what happens when one party can't even tell you what a woman is. 100% on the Dems. Repblicans have moved to the middle. And the middle now is left of the middle just 20 years ago. It's Democrats that lost their mind and jumped on the train to far, far left crazytown.

Nah the democrats are firmly entrenched in pure satanism. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. Nothing liberal about any of them whatsoever
 
Trump is haveing to fight the swamp, Illegal immigration that thas run rampant on Jill Bidens watch, Economy, try to regain some respect for USA on world stage, cut the deficit, fight two wars, etc etc etc

He's also having to fight his own people he gave unlimited power to.
 
You mean the "co-president"? How did that work out?

Very clear exactly who is in charge. Not so much the last 4 years.

lol at claiming that clown show means Trump was in charge. It just shows how little he's actually in charge. A billionaire can just buy a couple months in control of government.

I, for one, have ALWAYS said that America is a moderately conservative country. It has been that way as long as I can remember, which is many, many decades.
 
Ok, just come back and tell us the day you make that big move to the new bull market and what that market is because you believe the greater depression is about to hit.
Well, I won't give out any investment recommendations. But if I change my current portfolio, I will be happy to say I have done that. As things stand today, my portfolio is set to go into 2027.

So just to recap -- You've got from a "the sky is about to fall" lengthy post to "I'm 100% invested in the market and my portfolio is at any all time high...."

Love ya, Stock. Keep up the good work. :)
 
Has to hurt deep inside knowing that's not true. At least @Lurker123 can lie to himself. You know I'm legit😘

Do you realize in a little over 1 year from now you will have been trolling on this forum for 25 Years?

That's BEFORE 9/11.

It's also 7yrs before the first IPHONE came out.

This has to be some sort of record on the Interwebs.

When you started the account, did you ever dream you would be this impotent for this long -- a quarter-century?

Pretty incredible stuff.

I love you too Ward. I think If we knew each other in person, we would be good friends.

Ward, you are not a dumbass. There were investments that did well during the Great Depression. I didn't want to say but I will. I'm up 41% so far this year. I'd be up a lot more if I did not exercise poor judgement last week and sold a bunch. I bought back what I sold this morning.

I usually am 100% invested. I try to be thorough in my investment analysis before I pull the trigger. To quote Jim Rogers, I want to make investments that are as easy as picking up a $10 bill off the sidewalk. I think I learned a lot when I was regulating the sales of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.

I could be wrong on my economic analysis. And I hope I am. I am not in the tank for Democrats. I criticized Biden regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco, on this forum. I said, on this forum, that I supported Chris Christie for President. I said on this forum I am all for showing ID in order to vote (Watson jumped all over me for that). I could give other examples. The problem is for some people is that if you are not 100% in agreement, then you are the enemy.. Thank God my wife did not look at me that way. She is/was a Republican when we dated. She is more conservative than I am.
