Don't exit, but boy do you need to diversify or learn a lot more about investing and trading. You shouldn't expose 1/3 of your portfolio to these swings. If you want to play, set aside a much smaller amount to dabble with until you're much more comfortable. You're still young and will keep building and that play portion of your portfolio will also grow.

I totally agree with you. I was primarily addressing the mouth breathers who reflexively lump anything with "right" in the description into the same bucket. As I've been pointing out forever, there's far more debate among the right/conservative flank here than anything that would pass for a debate among the left. Not surprising really, the left gets its dogma from an ideology that has to stifle opposing thought, otherwise it would be exposed as bankrupt.

Another inconvenient truth to the whiners on this site who think all right of center opinion is the same.

It's great that there's the thumbs up button now, which saves a lot of typing, Essentially Whitaker is upset that US no longer wishes to go along with the feckless polite society. That society exists to take the US down a few notches, not for them to rise up to USA's level.

Fly Robin fly. So long Lehner. From jw:

That's it! But he wasn't much of a truther

Was that the one who was going on and on about McCain's army? They all start to blend in at some point. Kurt was more subtle in his Nazi reverence until he lost it in a drinking binge. I think there was another white supremacist who this retard could be.

Against my better judgment to continue responding. You are a bilthering idiot. Silverstein didn't profit from the towers going down. He lost control of 11 million sf of space, and now has 3 towers instead of 7. He lost control of the full site. The rebuild costs are far greater than the insurance settlement and more than half his footprint is unrented. But I can see how morons who can't even understand what they see in pictures don't understand how math and finance work.

Why is this hole in a different spot than where the building section collapsed? Are you saying that Jews dropped multiple missiles on the Pentagon? What's Silverstein's rationale for blowing up an investment he just closed one month prior? How did the Jews deposit 767 landing gear in between 2 buildings 3 blocks away to be discovered 14 years later only when a building was knocked down for new construction?

This proves that you clearly haven't been paying attention if you're calling me a Trumpster. Of course it's expected from the side that tossed out thinking for feelings. Don't forget to take your Midol.

At least we've set out the parameters. Could be the reason you despise Trump so much. Too much resemblance.

Doesn't change the fact that YOU are a dirt bag

There's a special place in hell for grave dancers

Real class right there.

I have to get in the game

Just realized that my link in post #2 of this thread is broken, so I fixed it. It was this:

Different stakes. US is used to periodic economic meltdowns, but Trump won't have to worry if he needs to send in the tanks to the Mall.

If you're tracking daily movements in your investment portfolio, that means: 1 - You do this for a living, you know what you are doing and would have already planned for the possible price movements, so the $64k paper loss doesn't matter much, or 2 - You need access to that liquidity soon, which means the investments shouldn't be in anything that has high price volatility. If you don't fall into either of the above, then don't worry too much about these periodic swings as long as you're fully diversified based on your investment goals. Do not panic and sell now, because you don't really know enough about the market to truly know where the highs and lows are. To address your direct questions, what Trumpster giveth, he taketh away. What's the normalized equity valuation anyway? His trade stance is clearly the reason for the equity beatings in the last week, but his overall economic stance to reverse everything Obama put in place + the tax cut is the reason the market ran up in the first place. The only way to rationalize his trade position is to paint China into a corner to liberalize their market and to stop stealing intellectual property. I think he may succeed there because Xi will not risk a popular revolt if 'China decides to go toe to toe with US in a full trade spat. Now mind you, if it keeps going, it will be painful for everyone, and that's why stocks are being punished. I'm not certain what he's trying to accomplish by poking Canada & EU, but it must involve behind the scenes politics. He did come out with a modest win when the EU automakers supported dropping tariffs on US vehicles.

Yes, it's for the guys who flunk brain science

Huuuggge! So long Fauxahantas

Could be, but it's also Citadel's HQ and that may also be the target

Why are you bothering? Dancing Hassidim are much more effective. Can't forget our Ethiopian cousins

Oh goody, Kurt is back
