The Dow closed at over 28,500 today.

Just a bit higher than his prediction. Hopefully though no one took his advice of leaving the market and instead follows the advice of a qualified money manager.

Is anyone other than Softball surprised though that he was wrong and missed so badly?

Yet another prognostication gone flat.

I did not give advice, I simply -----> called MY shot.

A conservative estimate.
I personally think it will be more than that.

And this major move down will probably begin much sooner than the 25th of December.
Imo.


But I will go on record right now.

Dow down at least 30% by 12/25/19.

Wow!
Called your shot?
You're not a genius. The market goes in cycles.
Up down up down. Up down.
Doesn't matter who the prez is.
Haven't you realized that yet?

If you look at my thread you'll see that nobody called their shot on the market.
Just me.

That's fine.

I give Pickle props, though, because he DID call his shot in another thread when I prompted him to.
He got it right.

Rack him!

You can say you weren’t offering advice, but you were calling anyone in the market dumb, stupid, etc.

Your stated positions have lost you money and kept your growth from being higher. But hey you do you.

We "called our shots" by remaining calm and invested with diverse portfolios.

My guess is the market and economy remain strong, so long as adults who understand our economy is still driven by fossil fuels, remain in charge.

I think next year will be good, because the chinks will see the writing on the wall, realize that TBOM isn't going anywhere real soon and will deal fairly with us.

The one thing I hope to see, but ain't holding my breath for is the put a dent in the deficit. This is the one area where Trump had been a miserable failure. I realize he can't do it by himself, but he could have done more.

Lol, don't hold your breath. Deficits matter only when Ds are in charge.

Deficits do matter. Even when an Orange madman is in charge.

He should, at a minimum demand congress halve the deficit. I would prefer bringing it to zero. I believe the economy is healthy enough to do it.

My other pet peeve with TBOM is his telling the fed to drop rates to artificially low levels again.

Obama needed that trick to breath some life into his lackluster alleged economic recovery. Sadly, we are now hooked on that drug.

Anyone else out there remember when 8% was a great mortgage rate?

We have become accustomed to 3.5-4. If we ever get back to 6-7, the real estate market will implode.....again.

The difference is that Obummer nominated Fed officials who decided in their professional expertise to lower interest rates to goose the economy. Obummer let these professionals operate without interference from the executive branch.

On the contrary, Trump nominated his own hand picked Fed chief but continues to act like the facist asshole he is, bombarding Powell to lower interest rates with every opportunity. Thankfully Jerome Powell is smarter and cares more about our nation than Trump and his enablers, who just want more money in their wallets and don't care about destroying the economy.

You are welcome for this GOP Econ 101 lesson.

So if it isn’t artificially lowered interest rates then it must be the tax cuts that are driving this good economy.

Christmas morning and you are hitting the crack pipe pretty early. Any other brilliant observations ??

So it’s Obama’s until it crashes?

How nice for you.

LMFAO!!!!
Thanks for the Christmas laugh you low IQ brainwashed cocksucker.

ONLY when democrats are in charge????
LMFAO!

Congress is in charge of the purse. Demo rats have controlled congress the MAJORITY of the past century.

But I digress.....

Barry the Chicago community street pimp let a 8,3 trillion dollar debt explode to 20 trillion!
As commander in chief, he could've brought all the troops home and ended these wars.
Instead he chose to continue to blow trillions of dollars over 8 years.
The mere fact that you don't understand that, is priceless!
ALL those years when demo rats spent spent and spent, and you just blamed it on the GOP.

There are no words to Express the kind of dirtbag serial lying fool that you are.
Thankfully, the logical board members already know what kind of myopic clown you are.

There is good news though.

We now have 400 years of energy that we can export.
This energy should easily begin to chip away at our debt as we sell it to the rest of the world.
In theory.

Plus, unlike barry the Chicago community street pimp, trump is bringing the troops home, and effectively bringing an end to the disastrous foreign policy under obammy and kerry and Hillary.

You stupid vermin you.

Oh.
So the good economy is because of Obama's policies during his run?

So by your sick logic, Bill Clinton was riding Reagan's policies.
You fuckin idiot!
You can't have it both ways stooge.

Bottom line?
It's all trump.
His policies have opened up things. Allowing the engines to roar.
Obama folliwed shit FDR, who never got the economy going.
WW II was the saving grace.

Trump is the juggernaut we needed to go full steam ahead.

Economic data has been not only bad over the past number of months, but it has been HORRENDOUS.
Getting worse.

Further, MASSIVE bank bailouts continue to escalate, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars daily.

Are you Trump dipshits even aware of this?


Massive deficit spending.
Interest rates jacked back down, with your dear leader pimping negative rates as the way to go.
Massive bank bailouts ongoing and escalating.


It is an economic freak show of the highest order.



Oh well...

Let me ask you.

Why then do Democrats deny the 12 trillion racked up during Obama's tenure?

Even lie about it?

8 years of barry took us from 8 trillion to 20 trillion.
And every single left wing outlet just denies it. Lies about it.
You deny it.
Lie about it.

So what's the point?

Left wing lunatics will never admit to anything.

Stop making stupid shit up, 'tard.

I railed on Barry's out of control spending many times.

Barry inherited a terrible economic situation and took steps that only made it a helluva lot worse.

He, like Donald, is a blackmailed little puppet man.


Drain the swamp?

LOL




Sell me on S. Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary.

GO...

"Obummer's economy" was massive deficit spending and free interest.

Despite this, the economy slogged along with sluggish growth thanks to being strangled by his dumb ass.

We still have the deficit spending and low, but not as low, interest.

Part of the difficulty Trump faces is how to wean us off the artificial interest rates. Personally, I would rather he just tell everyone, sorry folks, no more free money. It would result in slightly lower growth, but not drive us back to recession.

First, I thought BHO's economic policies were wack.

But in fairness -- the debts incurred during the previous 7 years of war weren't on the books, and accounting changes put them there.

ERGO (Latin), an instantaneous jump in deficit.

It's pretty well-documented.

Are you a low IQ?
You bring up the wars under Bush as a way to answer for the 12 trillion piled up during Obama's tenure?

You can't have it both ways.

What about the fuckin wars during the 8 years of Obama?
He's the commander in chief, meaning he could've put a stop to all the trillions being thrown away during his presidency.
YES, his presidency.
8 years of wars and trillions spent under Barry's watch.

Or are you too stupid to understand that?

Fuck. Are you an adult?

The same excuse over and over.
The trillions were Bush's fault because of the wars during his presidency.
Yet, as commander in chief, the trillions spent by Obama continuing his own wars for 8 years, is not his fault?

You fuckin morons.

Yes, Obama's wars are his.
He's commander in chief, and he chose to continue multiple wars,
Spending trillions more.

Stop the bullshit.

What part of "change in accounting technique" did you not understand.

Obama's 8 years of war went under Obama's deficit. Bush's 7 years of war went under... Obama's deficit.

First.
Don't embarrass yourself by mentioning Google ever again.

Their top officials were caught on tape admiring political bias.
Should I repeat that?
Or do you not understand that either?
Their is a culture of corruption at every turn.
In other words, if the top brass at Google openly admits to political bias, then they will skew information favoring their point of view.
And you would never know it.
And being the sheep you are,
Never question it.

Second,

That piece you read from Google? It's politically biased.

Obama had multiple wars on 8 full years of his watch. Meaning,
His culpability is greater than Bush's.
Bush didn't have 8 full years of multiple wars.
But Google will not allow the numbers to go against the Obama administration in any way shape or form.

BTW, this isn't just Google, but the majority of the mainstream press and media as well.

If you don't understand that?
You're gone mentally.
You may as well commit "harry caray".

I have zero tolerance for fucks who don't understand logic.
Leftists have indeed corrupted academia, the press, the media, and yes, Google.

Again. If you deny that reality,
You need to pack it in.

Talking to any board leftists is an exercise in abject stupidity, because they live in a distorted reality and deny any corruption by the left whatsoever.

It's gotten so brazen that even when catching the CEO of CNN on audio openly admitting political bias, you leftists STILL deny it.

I have zero tolerance for this.
And anyone with half a brain should not tolerate it either.

While unemployment number methodology doesn't tell the whole story, it has been the same methodology, so comparing year to year still works. Unemployment rates are near historic lows. The rates for minorities are far better than in the Obama years. Wages continue to increase. But keep spinning your doom and gloom. It fits with your market shot.

Are there issues? Sure there always are. Will the market and economy come back down, for sure, they always do.

If Pocahontas or Bernie is elected and makes good on some of their day one promises, they economy will crash quickly.

Well, at least his 70% isn't losing money (actually, it is after inflation).

I am no authority on "shorting" markets, but I assume that if the market doesn't drop considerably, you lose value.

So, nice going pop. ONE of these days your TVOing the market will pay.....assuming you don't become completely insolvent before that happens.

Can you even fucking read?

"Another factor supporting the lowest-paid workers is a wave of minimum-wage increases. Twenty-nine states have increased minimum wages above the federal level, and 21 of those will lift the level again in 2020. For example, the minimum wage will increase 12.5% in Washington state, to $13.50 an hour."

Liberal economic policies benefit everyone. Conservative economic policies benefit only the rich.
