So much for the worst April of all time and whatever. Waltz must look and feel sad. Loads of money was made. That was exciting classic dip buying. Look momma stocks are up again. This entire earnings season has been American exceptionalism on display. Nobody else has such great companies. https://www.investopedia.com/dow-jones-today-04302025-11724738

Energy and metals are just not my thing. i use real estate to store my value. I cash out every few years and add a small rental house to my holdings. I also like raw land in holiday areas as i know how to build cabins. I have a retirement account like most people but for my active accounts i like to keep them sized right so i am never caught out. I would hate sitting there with everything i earned in my life in play and being forced to sell in a down turn. I also use collectibles to store value. But I am not so sure this is not just for my own amusement more than anything. Am I really going to trade a watch for bullets if the zombie apocalypse comes? I fell this way about physical gold as well. The old man on TV saying he is safe with his gold coins, is he really going to be able to do anything with them if it gets real? Not so convinced.

The top of the ticket this time logically will be a white guy. they need to find one that is likeable in their party if there is one. Trump won't be running so this schtick isn't going to play. I can't think of anybody with a more unappealing disposition than this guy. AOC? Not sure from what i have seen she will be just as fat as this guy in a couple of years. Get somebody that is good natured, has some humor and isn't absolutely horrible to look at. This guy is way too ugly to win.

They only hate money that isn't theirs. Like how liberal politicians talk about money like every dollar created is the governments and anything they let you keep is a gift. Always blaming rich corporations when the government itself is the greediest entity on the planet. As the saying goes, you could divide all wealth on the planet equally and if left to it's own it would just quickly return to it's rightful owners.

If I had to bet most posters here have this as their financial road map.

I am big into tech. Lately especially the cyber security and software that AI will need. For AI the road thus far has been like this chips------>data centers and equipment suppliers cooling systems fiber optics etc.-----> as the chips start to stand it is is software to deploy it. It has been a go to as they aren't affected by tariffs. A couple weeks ago on this very site I called Palantir, Servicenow, zscaler and a few others. They have just been smoking hot. I like sectors with a huge TAM and their products increase their TAM as they are developed. Making chips leads to making more chips. Making software leads to making more software . I have some baby shares in uranium ETFs which haven't done well for me. Two nano reactor companies that have been very easy to trade in and out of have been SMR-Nuscale and OKLO. I think modular nuclear technology is the future but it will be awhile. Those are highly volatile so for now they are fast trades. The uranium ETFs pay dividends and i will hold a long time.

Every trade has two sides. For every loser there is a winner. Money wasn't lost it was just transferred.

I like posting when I make a buy as it is on record. Even if you believe it is imaginary it shows the call i made and i can use it later. On the investment forums I participate in the etiquette is always it didn't happen if you didn't call it ahead of time. It also annoys people who I hate successful people, capitalism, the market, money, wealth, nice cars etc. which is a bonus.

Staying out of it is a smart move on their part.

My mistake Elon Musk will return to TSLA as he laid out in his last earnings call.

LOL okay.... Bezos was demonized even when the WAPO ran cover for the dems. He is no longer the CEO of Amazon anyway. Elon went back To Tesla and will continue making butt loads of money. Amazon is busy launching a satellite intenet system to compete with Starlink. In this world the winners keep winning because they have too many levers to pull. I tend to put my money where my mouth is in these things and bought TSLA at around $287. Wish me luck! I also have a big capital gains tax coming this year so even if TSLA doesn't work out I can harvest it.

I watch financial news several hours a day Monday through Friday. My favorite show for getting stock ideas is The Fast Money Halftime report. I mostly concentrate on specific stocks and companies as even the experts when they talk macro and all of that look like morons not too long after. Anybody that tries to forecast the S&P a year out for example is talking out their ass. I find the financial news important especially during earnings season. Even a spastic, like Crajmer can be useful when he shows you what companies are going to report in the next week. I hate it when i buy something and they are reporting during that period and I was unaware. Also I like watching what a CEO has to say out of their own mouths. Josh Brown is probably the investor I like the most. He speaks simply, is smart, has a sense of humor and doesn't get out tarot cards and read palms and pretend to know things he doesn't.

At this point the dems are looking for a way to survive which is becoming questionable.

Due process, avocados, brown skin, due process sad

Another thread from spidermike...

Run everything on solar and then dim the sun to fight global warming.

This guy is obviously a psychopath that is mocking our system. He can request PC custody and go to the SHU and be locked in a box the rest of his life and avoid being raped. We all know nobody is tapping that. Put him in protective custody and throw away the key.

Don't think they deserve it. Just responding to a poster who doesn't seem to understand that by any reasonable metric Ukraine is losing.

I guess it still beats having rubble for dinner again.

Looking at the pic it is easy to see why other inmates just simply couldn't resist that mangina.

Well the thing is they are made by the same 6 people. At some point we have already heard you.

You are delusional if you think the crowds have many if any republicans. They don't even draw moderate dems. They also hardly speak about anything more than the usual class or racial warfare. They are kind of like the Grateful Dead. traveling around selling out concerts to their groupies that follow them. Same concert, same people, just moving around.

It's because Japan is in decline. They may have 120 million people but 100 million of them are like 100 years old. California isn't going up so much as Japan is going down. Germany will probably been best to sink to that level.

You don't seem to understand that the presumption of innocence only applies if you are on the jury or a judge presiding over the case instead of a jury. She was arrested for letting an illegal alien evade custody going through her chamber. I don't need to add allegedly. Nothing screams I don't know anything about USA law like the repeated misuse/abuse of the term allegedly.

Guys with tats usually are gang bangers that's what gang tats are designed to do. You get them because you pledge to stay in the gang for life, you get them as a sign of defiance that you don't hide you are in the gang. You don't need to be proven to be in a gang to be deported, you don't need to be convicted to be deported. You simply are suspected of being a worthless piece of garbage and it is enough. Being in the USA for a foreigner isn't a right. Now the girls that have tats in Pattaya are not likely to be in gangs but a good deal of them are involved in gang banging.
