MARKETS,Anybody even yet?

What goes up must come down

Let's see how this is aging.

Trump in my opinion is a lunatic on the scale of FDR.

Trump's role model is FDR! You think I'm joking, in 6 months he'll be posting about how Stalin or Mao did a lot of good things.

And now we're setting up for another round of stimmy checks.

All the financial market prices are up already. Stocks +1%, gold +2%, silver +3%, bitcoin +3%.

TAN now above 53. Average cost 32.

I have shares purchased 11/11 of 2024. I think they go LT tomorrow. And more shares from 11/12.

Can someone tape Trump's mouth shut so he can't crash my shares?

Lunatic? Mao/Stalin?
Pretty strong criticism for someone you disagree with.
Trump is a phenomenon that you obviously do not understand.
He was elected for one simple reason. He is NOT a politician!
He is a businessman who is trying to cleanup the Washington mess.
Draining a swamp is a messy task. And he sure is not getting any help from the snakes and alligators.
Also trying to stop foreign countries from bleeding our economy to their advantage.
Peace making bargains in several places in the world.
Cleaning up the illegal immigration deluge brought on by Biden.
The list goes on. Some people cannot see it. Their TDS has clouded their vision.
The economy is roaring back. At least you can see that part of it. A hiccup or two may affect your investments but overall have you won or lost?

People will differ in their assessments. You think he's done a lot of good things. I think he's a POS.

The economy is roaring back. At least you can see that part of it.

The economy is so roaring, we need 50-year mortgages and $2000 stimmy checks.

A hiccup or two may affect your investments but overall have you won or lost?

Lost. He's crashed the dollar by nearly 10% this year. And that's measured against the other debasing currencies. Versus real money (gold), the dollar is down 30%. I have to pay taxes as if my nominal gains are entirely real.

US stocks (VTI) are +17% ytd. That's lagging Europe (VGK [+30%]), Asia (VPL [+31%]), and the emerging markets (VWO [+27%]). But Trump's America is outperforming Indonesia and Qatar.

I've done well with my unconventionals (GDX +124%), so I suppose I can thank Donnie for that in a perverse way.

Today was a hell of a day. Government is reopening, don’t ya know? NASDAQ +2.3% put me in a fine mood.
