It is the sparkle in his eyes when he talked about it. I'm Italian and recognize that money look of glee.

Funny and lots of truth. Dave is very funny. NOBODY where I work, one of the largest tech companies in world, has forgotten that I proclaimed that Trump would win Republican nomination AND the general election at end of 2015. Maybe mistake of saying it at big group lunch. One of my mangers...

Not sure the China virus will get blames on Trump. He danced nicely on both side of shutting down and came out strong on opening. The governors took his bait and grabbed the hook on the reopen. I think they will suffer for the delays. The protests will hurt him but they can cut two ways. In...

Joe has media and establishment on his side so the damage is minimal. Trump is Trumpzilla and only gets stronger so it hurts less than thought. I learned not to grind my teeth when Donald goes Donald. Joe has long history of it so any slippage in his sanity we go unnoticed. That old grandpa...

It is a little dangerous to "come out" as a Trump supporter. I'm old and long ago made but still I have held back at work because the establishment type, both parties, are scared, badly scared and a scared dog is dangerous. Put I have to admit that I welcome polls but never ever tell them the...

Nicely put about ... like buying right now.... I will be stealing that one. I've stayed away from options only because I hate beating on timing and picking the stock. I never leverage with margin for the same reason. Since I never gamble rent money, I like to have the choice to hang on as...

Good for you. August is long time in summer for stock market and 330% is serious money to leave on table. On the other hand, if economy continues to recover fast and Trump wins in Nov(which I see as very likely, it is hard to see the top on the market. I'm old so I like taking my profits...

I have no problem with index trading but I do prefer picking stocks. That said, I am not constantly in the market. I follow a take the winnings and get away from the table until another day. I made huge in 2008 and cashed out. Got back in a couple years later for couple selective picks. Got...

There is a safety restart button. The funny money is just that. Printed by Federal Reserve Board, not the US Treasury. Take close look and you we see it no longer says, Back by the full faith and credit of the United States of America. Just print enough and buy all those "Treasury"...

I agree, if for no other reason than the massive defense end of its business.

I've held Boeing stock off and on for years. Been lucky with it most of the time. I got out after the Max jet problem started, giving back some profits because of it, but very thankful I sold when I did. I agree it could be a buy for long term, I am looking for point to bet back in but...

Thank you. Lots of smart people on this board. It is most interesting place to talk about anything. Some are a little testy and argumentative but that is okay too. In my view, we, the USA comes out on top once again so I hope I am right. But that assumes a uncomfortable condition for many...

Accepted wisdom will always arrive at the conclusion it was designed in advance to achieve. Your point about debt is very well taken but those rules don't seem to apply in the real world any more. When you need the creditor more than than need you, you must continue to support the debt...

Oh heck, Market gains have been "manufactured" since the crash of 87. S&L bailout and market support by the FED ever since. Greenspan was master of "bubble" creation. I cut my baby teeth on Wall Street in 70's. Hard to tell real from fake. I would not hold you breath waiting for belt...

Some good advice in there but you sound like you think US is going to take a hard fall. That could well be but one trend has clear the last few years: When the sh*t hits the fan in US then strangely Treasuries and then US equities go up. The world understands the it depends on and revolves...
