THE ERA OF TRUMP

[C-Mag]

Just 'cause
Personal Anecdote:

In the Era of Trump. I stopped by one of the gun stores I go to and struck up a conversation with the guy behind the counter that I know pretty well. I started with, 'Are you tired of winning yet ?' He said, not even close, but were off to a good start.
I asked how business was since the election, he said it was good, some stores had a big drop off, but they were doing quite well. Then he related this story.

A month after the election a couple of lesbians came in and stated they needed to be able to defend themselves because they could no longer trust their own government. He discussed their needs and what they wanted. They wanted personal and home defense weapons and training on how to use them. The two left the store with 2 Remington 870 tacticals, 2 AR-15's, 2 Glocks and references for a couple of good trainers.

The ladies come back after the Holidays and buy more ammo. Then come back a week later with about 20 other women. Then come back a couple more times with at least one new customer each time.

I smiled and said GOOD.

I'm really glad that another segment of society has found reason to take personal Liberty into their hands and question the intentions of the government. It makes for a healthy Republic. So to all you Sisters of Lesbos. Train hard, keep your powder dry!

We're still a good 15+ years from retirement. Our financial planner isn't worried about the Stock Market in the long term. She'd be easing us out if we were retiring in a year or two.

Stock market is for the long game.

If there is a massive Fed Rate Correction, it's not a bad thing, you can go short in a correction and find value, the time to buy AAPL would have been Oct 2008, when it came off $25 and went down to $11, just before it went on a run all the way to $132.

Let it correct I say, far from being the End of the World, it's going to be "meh" anyways. Massive correction; I wish.

We bought bigly after the '08 crash.

I can agree with that. But there is simply no way that it makes sense to have money in the market right now, unless you think it's just going to be forced upward for the rest of your investing lifetime. There will be a crash, and that will be the time to put it all on black. Right now, it's just a game of Greater Fools.

Too hyperbolic -- what if we get legit inflation? Yellen announced she will let it run hot, every bank has been intentionally trying to spark inflation for a decade now -- what if it happens?

These key players in the great manipulation are literally telling you what they are trying to accomplish with full intent -- wise to at least consider the possibility they succeed.

Don't go 100% cash.

(my trading account is 2/3 cash, all I do is lose out so far)

You're working from the idea that the stocks will automatically rise to match inflation? Sure, over the Grand LongTerm Period they will.

Or do you mean that American megacorps will suddenly be more profitable because of it? They won't, but the numbers will be slightly more bigly.

Face it, there is absolutely nothing holding us up at these ridiculous heights, except Fed manipulation. QE is over, and rates are rising. Man the lifeboats.

There are plenty of ways to protect yourself from inflation.

2008 correction has been berry berry goo to me, profits taken many times over, I'm ready for another big correction, bring it on.

Actions and results always mean more than words.

I agree. There is very much a wait-and-see attitude here at Casa de Kath & Nerd. We're watching very closely and so far, we're seeing a lot of childlike behavior. I know boatloads of people who are both non-politicians and not giant adult babies at the same time. It's TOTALLY possible to not be both.

This giant boondoggle that we're going to pay for is a way to say he created jobs. Nobody seriously thinks it will stop people from overstaying their visas. We're literally going to stop dozens and dozens of people for the low low price of BILLIONS.

Between 70 and 85 percent of illegals cross the border on foot.

At this rate, his expansion of executive power is going to make Obama look like Ghandi.

Just because Trump is signing a bunch of executive orders out the gate doesn't mean he's taking power from the public, just the opposite he's giving it back by rolling back many of Obama's exec orders that took power from congress in the first place. You might want to wait until Trump starts overly expanding executive power with executive orders before you start criticizing his use of them, crying wolf will just lead to people not believing you if he actually does start doing so.

He's neutered the ACA - which was the result of a multi-year debate in congress, he's written an order to build a gigantic fucking wall - which had NOT been funded by congress, and he's frozen regulations and hiring for all government agencies - effectively usurping the authority of the entire federal government. In a week.

Nah it's fine tho cause feels good rite?

He's the chief executive. He is the federal government. What did you learn in school?

[StCapps]

Bigly is such a cool term, too bad Trump is actually saying something else.

[Okeefenokee]

You just reflexively hate Trump no matter what he does, even when he passes good executive orders.

Get that kid who runs the forum to make us a new button beside the youtube button, so we can issue this reply with ease.
