Participant[quote=flu][quote=AN]flu, I know you’re much more rational than this. Don’t talk like those crazy right wing nut jobs when Obama won in 2008. Everything will be just fine under either one of them. I am super grateful that we saw 2008 under Bush. There’s no way in hell I would be where I am today w/out that crash. So, if I’m lucky enough to see another 201k, that would be super awesome. Bring it on.[/quote]
Long term I know we will be fine.I am pivoting more towards for a “correction” right now than before, I really don’t want to live through another 8 years of recession with my money locked into stock on the wrong side of the fence. Over the next 8 years, I’ll have 1 kid going to college (with a major expense), I’ll almost be eligible to start receiving junk mail from AARP, and my reaction time will probably be so slow I probably won’t be able to tell the difference between a Cadillac versus a Porsche.
I just don’t see many positive events that could be driving the markets higher, especially with a Trump win, especially since it doesn’t seem like the markets like Trump. The markets seemed to have already factored in a Hillary win. VIX Volatility index went up, precious metals went up, and the major indexes did a reversal after news broke.
I don’t know, just seems “strange”. In a few days, we’ll find out….And if all is well, no harm in moving things back.[/quote]Why do you think time is different and if there is a recession that it will last 8 years? Even with the great recession, we’re better off today than in 2007. The market is a finical bunch. I wouldn’t put too much trust in their knee jerk reactions. Especially when we’re talking about something as long as 8 years. I would go all in if we have a pull back if Trump win. I would definitely sit in mostly cash by 11/7 though, just in case we get such a knee jerk sell off. That would be an awesome opportunity.

October 24, 2016 at 11:30 AM in reply to: OT: I really wish Google Fiber would be in San Diego #802578ParticipantMore competition is always better. If VZW failed to deliver, guess what, we won’t be any worse off than the duopoly that we have now between TIme Warner Cable and AT&T.
October 24, 2016 at 11:02 AM in reply to: OT: I really wish Google Fiber would be in San Diego #802576Participantflu, it’s not just now. It has been that way for as long as I can remember. It’s government induced duopoly. It’s intentional. That’s why we don’t have Verizon Fios down here.
ParticipantAcer Swift 7 with i5 CPU looks pretty good too. They’re going do $1k.
ParticipantI like my XPS 13. 13″ screen in a 11″ laptop body. 2.8lb. The resolution and quality of the screen is great too. I got the i7 with 8GB of RAM, but you can go w/ the i5 for cheaper.
Participant[quote=elbarcosr][quote=no_such_reality]Oh fuck please.
Just fucking stop.
Aleppo isn’t a one word place holder for the shit going on in Syria. That’s what’s so fucking stupid about this. And yes, this is about time to start saying fuck.
Because everybody keeps playing grab ass bullshit games.
The question could have been, what are you going to do about the Syrian crises. The Syrian conflict. or any number of things, but a one word bullshit Ah–Lep’—O is just fucking bullshit.
That shit started out of the Arab spring, that same shit that gave us Benghazi.
The same shit, the Ms Foreign Chops, can’t think of a more qualified person to be President was on the fucking deck of and principal role was Secretary of the Fucking State responsible for that sh*t. Apparently she was watching the video the Administration told us was responsible for it.
And Trump is a blowhard fucking idiot but everybody wants to play one word grabass and act like asking “What is Ah-Lep-O??” is a fucking major thing because they’re reading the the fucking primer published in almost every media outlet half of which like the LA Times were showcasing talking heads claiming is was Capital of ISIS which it isn’t and which the LA Times pointed out.
And as soon as questioner got over the “you don’t know Aleppo bullshit” and said Syria, Johnson was on it and pointing out that it’s a fucking quagmire mess and total disaster.
But play grab ass on “Ah–Lep–O”[/quote]
Yes. Thank you.[/quote]
OMG, I can’t believe I missed this post from NSR. This is awesome is is exactly how I feel as well.ParticipantWhy do you think your 401k will go down to 101k? If so, why does it matter to you, since you already realized the gain. If what you think is true, and it’s all about the $, wouldn’t you want Trump? Since 401k will be 101k, then all your realized gain can be deployed again, we’ll elect a new president and your 101k will become 901k?
Without Bush and the housing crash, do you think you’d be able to pick up properties with PITI well below rent from day one? That’s only with your 401k going down to 201k. Can you imagine how many rentals you can pick up if under Trump, we’ll see 101k? Damn, I’m salivating at the thought, LoL.
Participant[quote=flu]Meanwhile, is it a mere coincidence that Dow futures are off 100 points? Lol[/quote]
It’s interesting that you made that correlation. If I have my tin foil hat on, I would say, with the NYT article today and the two women accusers, it’s even more likely that he’ll get a spanking, that’s why the DOW future is down 100 points :-).Participant[quote=flu]Looks like the some of the GOP is backtracking and now saying they are going to back Trump again.
Wow, my head is spinning. [/quote]It’s really not that hard to understand. They’re doing exactly what a lot of Americans are doing. Do what they can to save their job. On a KPBS show I was listening to the other day, one of the guest was saying that if they stick with Trump, they’ll lose ~12% of the independent vote but if they abandon Trump, they would lose about 12% from Trump supporter not voting for them. So, they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. Damn if you do and damn if you don’t. So, they took a calculated risk and stick w/ him.
I’ve seen many jack asses in the private sector who will do whatever it takes to get ahead, so this is no different. IMHO.
Participant[quote=flu]AN’s actually a moderate. Libertarian actually. He’s entitled to his opinion. Lot’s of people don’t like Hillary, and it doesn’t mean they are necessarily pro Trump BTW.[/quote]Thanks for the defense. But don’t worry about it. I’m not trying to convince them or get them to be my friends, so it doesn’t really matter who they assume I’m align. I just find it hilarious that since I think she’s a liar that automatically, I’m a nut job Trump supporter. I feel like this is exactly what’s wrong w/ our politic right now.
But after listening to KPBS during lunch, I feel like there’s a probability that Democrat will take the house and senate as well. How do you feel flu, if Democrats take control of both and the presidency again? At this rate, I feel like if it does happen this year, it’s likely it’ll stay that way for a long while, since the Republican brand is now tainted by Trump and people will use Trump as a litmus test.
Participant[quote=flyer]From what they’re both promising, I’m completely convinced everyone and their kids and their kids kids will be millionaires, uh, sorry, trillionaires, for eternity.
How? Guess we’ll just have to wait for that answer to be formulated and reformulated, and reformulated again, but, in the meantime, the wealth gap stats should be interesting to check out in about four years.[/quote]LoL. I don’t think they formulate and reformulate, they just tell you to give them 4 more years. We’re almost there. Hillary promise the government will give you all that you need and make sure your neighbor will not have more. Trump, well, he himself will fix everything.
Talking about wealth gap / real wage, you’d expect the gap should be drastically decrease under Obama. http://scalar.usc.edu/works/growing-apart-a-political-history-of-american-inequality/index
Participant[quote=flyer]Hey, AN, +1. We have no regard for either candidate this time around, but know people who know both of them well, and from what we’ve heard, even they would agree with your assessment of her, and, of course, we all know what most people think of him.
Imo, it’s a pick your poison kind of election. Sad for people who actually believe they are going to gain something tangible out of all of this rhetoric.[/quote]
I feel sadden that so many think they have to pick their poison. That’s exactly why there’s still so many Republicans in congress who still back Trump. They picked their lesser of the two evil.Participant[quote=enron_by_the_sea][quote=utcsox][quote=AN][quote=SK in CV]Really? A single paragraph of a speech that you just read for the first time no more than a few days ago, for which you had zero context, is why you don’t trust her? Before that you did? Yeah, go with that. That’s believable. Can’t be that you really don’t have a good reason.[/quote]Believe what you will. I’m not trying to convince you. All you need to know is I think she’s a big fat LIAR. I’m also not alone. Majority of American think so too. Keep drinking your Kool-Aid. It’s good for you.[/quote]
Wow, I think Donald Trump has take over AN’s account and start posting in Piggington. lol.[/quote]
When I start doing that, it will be yuuuge. Believe me. I have great posts. Believe me. AN doesn’t know how to win anymore. The third world has better posts than this site. Believe me. Bengazhi. Libya. Radical Islam. I have great posts. I have great balance sheet. We will post from Post office between Capitol and Pennsylvania Avenue. It has beautiful wall. My posts will take care of everybody. We will take care of coal. We will put all the posters back to work on this message board. Bernie Sanders made the deal with the devil.[/quote]It will be YUUUUUUGE!!!!
