Well….How Are We Going To Profit From This Mess

[dumbrenter]

Are we looking at the same markets?
Indices are barely off 1%.
Stupid ass experts, made me wake up real early in the morning for nothing.
I know I should have never wasted time listening to their crap.

Gold is taking a spanking today.

Liquidated all my banks stocks. Don’t see much more upward movement near term after +10% swing in a couple days.

One thing that is certain is that chump is unpredictable and going forward anything that remotely has to do with him is unpredictable.

Yup.

Investors don’t like uncertainty (but traders thrive on it)

My take on the current bounce is that most think that the new government will simply shift toward traditional Republican policies; relaxed regulation, weaker labor laws – W Bush type stuff. So that’s all good for certain sectors.

Sucks for the working class but hey, we really trounced those liberals! Woo Hoo!

It gets interesting when Trump starts messing with trade. If he even tries to do a portion of what he promised to do, it’s gonna be a mess.

So Trump either abandons much of his core platform or pushes forward into very uncertain territory.

In any case the smelting plant in Gary Indiana will remain shuttered.

It would be ironic or somewhat of a poetic justice once the dust is settled and people realized that, beside the rhetorics, they were actually voting for two slightly different versions of democrats – version 1.0 vs 1.1. I think that’s closer to the reality than democrat vs republican. The folks in the rust belt have been duped.

Look at bond rates. End.

but it seemed like he really liked you.

Sodomy is illegal in some states. I can see that woman you mention getting prosecuted. Her ass doesn’t belong to her either.

Spoken like a beta dude – sorry scaredy but this is beneath you. I get that you’re trying to expand on Harvey’s charming analogy – but it’s offensive. I know that most women have stopped posting on this site (none of you ever seem to wonder why) but there are a few of us left.

Also, it sounds sadly like the self soothing inner musings of the little guy at the bar who has a hard time with women and, until she left with the alpha male, thought the “almost decent looking chick” was the most gorgeous creature he ever saw. And the little guy doesn’t really know what she sees in the A male nor can he know what will happen between the two of them, but the B male sure would like it if she was subjected to horrible things so that she bitterly regrets not leaving with him.

With Republicans control both the Presidency and the Congress, major tax reform is highly likely. Check out this tool that Tax Foundation made on how would the Trump proposed tax plans would effect you bottom line.

i am a beta dude.

apologies, sincerely.

some guys are winners, some guys are losers. america wanted a winner. a domineering alpha male.

According to a source at New York Magazine, Trump told a friend that you have to “treat [women] like shit,” seemingly to get what you want out of them.

i strongly believe donald said that, based on the pussy comment. hell, i think — no, i KNOW — lots of guys say and act on that. the intended purpose of doing that is to show you dont need potential female mates, they need you. all people tend to desire things they cannot have, so it is generally a bad mating strategy for either males or females to appear too easily attainable.

its also an effective defense mechanism against rejection, that allows more fragile men to push ahead in the mating game.

that was the source of where my off color analogy came from.

i think modern america believes that you do need to treat others like shit to establish dominance..

there certainly is some truth that we are all sexually attracted to strength, or the poortunity to impose strength on eeakness, and repulsed by sheer weakness, and any sign of weakness or neediness (esp. in initial meetings] is beta and repulsive.

treating people harshly can be a sign of strength, as was displayed beautifully in the debates:

you nasty woman

WRONG

WRONG!!!

when they go low, they win, esp.if you go high [beta and weak]. polite. attacked, and not responding with overwhelming force. america read that as weak.

neediness is the core of my own personal betahood. and an extreme level of deference, respect and politeness that is generally centered around my neediness and status anxiety.

no insult intended. and youre right. the woman left with the other guy at the bar for a whole host of reasons. he was better looking, stronger, displayed more attractive sexual characteristics, was more relaxed, less needy, funnier, projected more available resources. made her feel good, safe and excited.

he may not treat her worse, that is true. but it is also true that he has way more options, say, than me, the neurotic, weaker, unsure, servile dude, as he should, by his very nature. where the beta dude will not.

it is not unjust. the woman is not stupid. neither is anyone stupid. it is all just nature.the strongest and healthiest survive.

there are apparently though new rules and boundaries of how that essential truth may be permissibly expressed in presidential debates.

still, we should have standards and limits on piggington. and i believe i violated them.

again apologies. [see, even my apology has a groveling beta tone. ;)]

i truly feel bad that i made a woman uncomfortable. beta.

The Emperor of Ice-Cream
Wallace Stevens, 1879 – 1955

Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month’s newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal,
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Scaredy, I have always said that America likes badass shit and a badass attitude. You need to assert your badassness and treat people like shit to be admired. That’s why right wing media personalities bark like dogs.

I believe electing Trump is alpha male backlash.
Hillary was seen as a bitch.

The all American alpha male as seen in popular culture came about in the 1930s. Before that, we had the sophisticated male. Things are changing and middle America doesn’t like it. Today, the educated, sensitive, environmentally conscious male is more likely to find the most desirable mate. In “elite” places a Prius or Tesla is higher status than a Hemi.

Alpha male attributes are still important but not enough. He now needs education and a path to financial success. Hence the backlash against the coastal educated “elites”.

Trump is the alpha male among the 1%. Rommey was too soft spoken and coastal elite.
