Apparently a lot of you need to learn this…
If something goes down 10% in one week and up in five years, say 20-30% overall I’m good with that. Kind of how investing works. Unless you’re a day trader.

I really don’t pay much attention to the markets and in 2008 when we had a recession I didn’t really feel a thing because I have a nearly recession proof income at UPS. Actually, I bought my house in 2008 lol. no problem .

Because I buy mutual funds. If you want to buy stocks, that’s your business. You play with the big boys you take the big losses and gains.
It’s capped losses of the initial investment and premium paid.
It’s not some super risky I’m gonna short bitcoin power play that could possibly see you losing more than expected.

But the court does have jurisdiction to rule on the government's treatment of someone going through the asylum process. I realize that the asylum process was used by the Biden administration as a dodge around immigration laws but this guy was in the U.S. a lot longer. I want the criminal element removed but let's not trample the system doing it.
agreed they can say "bad move" but they cant say bring him back.

You remind me of the guys who tried to lecture me over cash is king when buying a depreciating asset like a car.

If you take that forty grand and invest it well you could beat the low interest rate loan you got on your vehicle and make even more money than if you letting your money sit in a depreciating asset like a car.

Understood, the point is you can’t bring about the market going up when you’re the one that tanked it and then it rose to less then where it was before
You're assuming he broke it and it won't go up again? For years now top financial guys like Warren Buffet and Jamie Diamond have been warning of an impending market collapse. Trump may have finally triggered it, maybe not. But even if he didn't impose tariffs, if the market collapsed you can bet he would be squarely blamed for it in spite of everything over the last two decades. These market gyrations are due to the tariff talk but instead of pitching a fit every two hours we should give it a chance. Might find the U.S. comes out of this in a better position economically. If not the Republicans will pay for it.

Stock markets not a big concern. They go up and they go down.
Trump blinked/caved when someone started dumping large amounts Treasury Bonds and the yield spiked.

You’re missing my point..

People on here bragging about the market going “up”, it’s not up, it’s just higher then it was after it tanked from the tariff moves , but still lower than before

Yeah, taking away government funding before we've trimmed the budget to just what we take in is definitely a lot of leverage.

A Soviet man went to the same newspaper stand every morning and looked at the front page without buying a paper and left.

One day, the stand owner asks "Comrade, I see you here every day without buying a paper. What are you looking for?"

The man replies "I am looking for an obituary, comrade."

The owner says, "but comrade, the obituaries are in the back of the paper, not the front page."

The man replies, "the one I am looking for will be on the front page."

Not trying to lecture you I just know you’re full of crap and a liar so I just discount everything you say. Why would I need a loan for my car? I don’t have any car loans haven’t had one since 2006. Pay cash, buddy.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

He’s just jealous of your successful, heterosexual lifestyle. And he’s angry, but so would you be if you were constantly getting pounded. All he gets is a dick for dessert too.

Nothing against daytrading if you have the stomach for it. I do not and that’s why I can sleep at night currently. No big deal to me. But I do love the people who want to lecture me about how I could take money and put it places that would make me so much more money and cost me so much more risk. I’m doing just fine the way I am. Don’t care if I’m wealthy. Just well off.
