Harvard renames DEI office

Sir, I recognize the sadness in your soul, and your need to lash out at other people in order to assign to them the blame for your failures.

But I'm not your problem. Whatever troubles and ails you, may you find comfort and the solution somewhere, be it your friends, your family, your church or your political hero Donald Trump.

Godspeed you, good Trumpy sir! May you find your safe and happy space sooner, rather than later!

 

Funny you mention sadness and failures. That’s a good one. You come on here expressing sadness about YOUR failures in losing 15%, then have to backtrack to 10% when called out. Then you project YOUR sadness and failures on to me. That is just plain rich Jo. So just to line things up for you; I am down about 1% and quickly expect to get that back as I am more than 90% CDs, Bonds, mortgage investments. So let’s be honest here Jo; which one of us here is a sad failure?

 

It's gonna be all right, buddy. No need to lash out because your hero is failing and it makes you sad inside.

I know you love him, so let's try to focus on the positive things together - the winning!
- Awesome tariffs are happening and are rilly rilly helping people.
- People are no longer eating the dogs, like they were right before the election.
- Transgender swimmers are no longer terrorizing the nation.
- Alleged immigrant criminals (and some citizens) have been deported illegally shipped to be incarcerated foreign prisons, without receiving any due process.

These are wins! This is what you voted for and wanted! So why are you trying to make others feel bad and share your sadness? It makes me weep. (For you. )

 

being down 5% should not be considered a problem unless you need your money in the near term so therefore invest in low risk/low reward investments. You say that CDs and bonds are higher than 4%. Most people should have less than 50% of their assets in those securities so the other 50% is going to be in higher risk/higher reward investments. But I do agree with your assessment of Jo

 

Imagine wanting to defend a president so badly that you blame the huge dip in the stock market on the investors and not Trump’s idiotic tariffs.
This is like sucking up to the captain of the Titanic by telling drowning passengers that they should have grabbed one of the ten life jackets available. It’s uncanny.

 

You’re the one flailing wildly and screaming in the pool Jo. I’m sitting here over on the side in my chair. In fact I’m ordering a round for all the others here watching you in the pool and asking; WTF is that guys problem? I’ve already told them; “don’t worry about Jo, just enjoy the show he puts on”!!!

 

Most maybe. But for me at this stage of life it’s more about capital preservation. Give me those yields risk free and am not going to get greedy. I moved more over into equities first thing this morning and plan to move more over the next 1-2 weeks based on conditions. There will be safe money to be made in equities over the next few months

 

sounds like you're now acknowledging that 5% down isn't a problem for most people

 

I never acknowledged that it was a problem for anyone other than Jo making a political mountain out of a mole hill. Hell, I probably should have just been thankful he wasn’t ranting about felon and rapist and taken the win.

In the grand scheme of things, anyone who doesn’t have the stomach for 5-10% short term losses really shouldn’t be in the equity market anyway

 

Agree with this.. however, when the losses are self inflicted as a result of imprecise and isolationist policy, it is fair to be scrutinized differently than normal ebbs and flows of the market.

 

well I was just responding to this "If you’re down even 5% then both you AND your advisor suck at investing."

 

That’s a fair assessment. I view this more towards normal as in any time there is a political issue that is in any impacting financials then the media can be relied on to provide the shorts the cover they love to drive the market down and make a fortune doing so. This issue fits that to a tee.

 

Oh, I see your point. I should have said ; “If you’re down even 5% and going to throw a fit, then you AND your advisor both suck at investing”.

 

I would agree with that

 

You're like ..... showing off your political message board prowess to your friends?

Sounds like a good time - very cool.

You have some weird posts, man, but whatever makes you happy. Not sure why you bother to address me, when I'm not interested in anything you have to say, and ......

...... when you have some other Trump glazers who are willing to be gaslit that your felon clown crashing the stock market over 10% is really just a "normal 5% correction."

But whatever makes you happy, run with it. Sorry I'm so stuck in your head.

 

That's adjudicated sexual assaulter to you.

 

How so? Is there a source? While there may be a shred of validity somewhere, the alarm bells ring far more loudly and frequently.
