Me too. I don't buy anything I'm not holding at least a year (if not much much longer), with so much information asymmetry it's REALLY hard to be a successful short term trader so I don't even bother. It's a great way to lose A LOT of sleep.

But the "taco trade" cat is kinda out of the bag at this point. Trump has lost most of his tarriff credibility and the market simply doesn't react the way it once did. When nobody believes he'll follow through the market doesn't react, the opportunity for "taco trades" are few and far between.

Just keep buying low fee ETFs with balanced exposure whenever you have some dry powder. Don't try and time the market, it never works out in the long run for non insiders like us

i personally don't know anyone, at all, of all the people i've met over the years, that has ever said anything, at all, about "communism", much less have they said/acted as if they embrace it... not sure why you think it's so prevalent, in your worldview, but i can honestly say, not one person in my lifetime, EVER, has been a proponent of communism...

I hope this doesn't go the way that the wall did last time. DT needs to figure it out.

If you don't know what communism actually is perhaps you should stop using the word until you do

He doesn’t have to deport everyone just shut off all govt welfare to them and they will leave on their own. Also, shut off fed funding to states that give illegals welfare. I could never imaging going to any country in the world and get welfare as a non citizen.

Yet ATN is more common than the other 2 entities, just less apparent. I'm certain you've had pts with ATN.

Obviously just because we don't "see" something doesn't mean "it's not real".

I didn't suggest that you live in fear. Being aware of something doesn't equate to living in fear of it. You tend to react emotionally very quickly.

just my 2 rubles.

oh, i know i don't...

i am a straight, white, Christian male in the US... there is literally ZERO reason I, or anyone else like me, should feel persecuted about ANYTHING, yet there are many that like to try to give off this victim mentality, or like they got it so rough... give me a fricking break

i will NEVER understand this shitty ideology, ever...

Very well, except for the Big Beautiful Bill. He is not hesitant this time. Riots starting - fine, send in the Marines. Injunction? Might want to take that up with the President of El Salvador.


The BBB needs work. I have kids who will be actually paying for this debt.

Understand what you’re saying. I’m in the same demographic, just older. My life in this world is closer to the end than the beginning. I do think Christianity & its teachings are not valued by the Democrats and they would destroy those principles to maintain power. Thankfully that agenda seems to be backfiring on them. I would like our country, which was formed based on Christian values, to preserve those underlying principles for my grandchildren.
