    Basically this. If the market is legitimately rallying, it's because we're about to get fucked. Because nothing Trump is proposing is in the actual interest of the middle class, save maybe tax cuts that might spur economic growth.

    You even do this on a personal level.

    You never tell people your business isn't doing well.

    OP: Yeah, like I said before, pigs get excited by slop.

    Yes. The last upswing being characteristic of an economic bubble that lead to the Great Depression.

    The writing is already on the wall. We're headed for another bubble and when this one bursts it's going to make 2008 look like a walk in the park.

    Yes, the bolded was a good lesson during business school. We'll see if what Trump is proposing translates into a quality of life change for the middle class.

    They are not investing in it . Higher gold price just means more jobs in the sectors and also rising value for geological exploration and gold exploitation companies. They invest in those companies.

    Do you understand the concept of an economic bubble?

  10. #30
    Yeah... these aren't good signals. The market fundamentals haven't changed at all and everyone's over speculating. The wise investment decision is staring you right in the face.

    This is really silly. Yes it is nice that the SP500 gained over 100 points in the last month. However, your casual investors really does not care about short term gain. Well, we do care, but we care more for long term gain. The fact in the last eight years, even before Trump, the SP500 had already more than tripled its value.

    It never stops making me laugh how Trump and his ilk ignore all history to boast about current "success."

    Oh you mean the industry that likes no regulations so they could destroy the economy and that is what Trump whats to do?

    BLARE THE TRUMPET HORNS HE'S THE BEST PREZ.

    lol.

    Also really? Bringing up Hoover? do you have ANY kind of historical knowledge? Do you even know what happened shortly after his election? Do you know what an economic bubble is? Do you know how it burst?

    Do you know literally anything even relevant to the topic or are you just going to spooge over anything pro-Trump?

    Xarim you used to at least be reasonable, even if I disagreed with you, but holy shit you've gone completely off the deep end due to this election. How unfortunate.

    Also I love how you ignore the fact that the SP500 has been up 3x since Obama has been in office. Anything to suit your political agenda, eh?

    Consider this

    The story of the mainstream media was that the market would immediately crash if Trump was elected since he's obviously some kind of rapey buffoon and everyone would freak out expecting the world economy to collapse

    Instead, the opposite has occurred: we've had one of the biggest upswings in global optimism in history

    It's really only the american liberals who are still clinging to this idea that Trump is bad: the rest of the world has moved on and is on his side

    Maybe it's time to admit: the panic-mongering story about Trump was fake, it was wrong, it was a false narrative pushed by a biased media

    Maybe the truth is: Trump is a successful businessman and a potentially great president, more intelligent and competent than Hillary ever was

    This was a lot of fluff with zero substance. Thanks for ignoring anything countering your joke of a post. Its amazing how ideologues will ignore historical context if it can give them a short term benefit.

    Once again, do you have any actual knowledge about the subject? Or can you even be bothered to wikipedia Hoover and what happened to the economy right after his election? Or what deregulation does to our economy?

    How about thinking about even 10 years ago? Shouldn't be hard even for you.

    Oh and finally, once again, great job ignoring anything Obama has done. Goddamn you guys are funny. You don't even know the own history of the dude you're sperging out about how great he is. Trump's a great businessman?

    Bahaha.

    Yeah. If you own stocks, you need to thank President Obama
    Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!

    Trump is a relatively banal and unsuccessful businessman compared to his counterparts. Anyone can be potentially a great president. Trump barely has anything intelligent to say or do (just listen to his speeches, "it's gonna be great"), and will never be as competent as Hillary was.

    I never try to follow the stock market. I stick with the tried and true companies. Companies like Oracle, Johnson & Johnson, AECOM, Procter & Gamble, Merk, Pfizer, etc. You won’t get rich in the short run, but in 8 - 10 years, you easily tripled to quadrupled your investment.
