Still BS. I see locals touching all the time in public. Holding hands, arm around the waist or shoulder when walking. Sometimes touching the head. You are deluded and have now moved onto making up more BS to support your initial delusions.

Total BS. How did you even come to that incorrect assumption?

Not you, Susan. Go away

Those who are serious, long-term investors are normally fully invested at any given time and don't wait for "buying opportunities" and those who try to time the market by sitting on enough cash set aside for investment to make a significant difference in their financial future often end up missing the biggest up days. And missing just a handful of those, often the six, seven, or ten best days in a year or during a multi year bull run, can drastically reduce long term returns, often by half according to a JP Morgan research study. For instance, JP Morgan Asset Management’s 2019 Retirement Guide illustrates the impact of missing the market’s best days. They found that over a 20 year period from January 1, 1999, to December 31, 2018, an investor who missed the ten best days in the stock market would have seen their overall return cut in half. Specifically, a ten thousand dollar investment would have grown to 29,845 dollars if fully invested, but only to 14,895 dollars if the ten best days were missed. So when someone right now says they are “waiting to buy the dip,” it usually means one of two things: 1- They were smart enough to get out when Trump took office, locking in the massive gains they achieved during Biden’s presidency, and are now sitting in cash waiting for Trump to tank the market. If they are Trump supporters though, then most likely they were not smart enough to have done that. 2- So more likely, they never got in at the right time during the last bull run, missed out on major gains, and are still trying to time the market, hoping to catch the perfect entry point and will most likely miss the next bottom too. The question is, which boat are you in if you see this as a buying opportunity? And if you are mostly invested and only have a small amount of cash set aside for a crash, then buying the dip now is not going to be a life changing event for you anyway.

Yes, the Fed put is always there, but Trump risks destroying its credibility. Furthermore, Powell has already signaled that he's not going to cut rates to fix Trump's self-inflicted economic crash. The Put is there for crisis situations and black swan events that are beyond anyone's control, not for when a President is single handedly responsible for a self-imposed financial crisis. Trump needs to fix this by himself. But can he? Indications are that he can't.

Flip-flops more in a day than he changes his diapers.

The S&P 500 has dropped a total of 14% since Trump took office, the steepest decline in such a short period of time under the start of any US presidency since the index was created in 1957. The only other president to see more than a 5% drop so early in their term was Bush in 2001, and even that was only 7%. Too much winning?

To prevent Dengue. That's what the vaccine is for. Outcomes? No side effects, no dengue.

Has fallen. Still falling.

So stupid, no facts, not on topic, useless. Only childish name calling. Typical Trump cultist idiocy.

Just start printing more money again, brrrrrrrr.

I got it. So glad I did.

Complete hyperbole, whitewash drivel. The market never moves in a straight line, today was nothing more than a relief rally. The facts: the S&P 500 remains below its 10, 20, 30, 50, 200, and 250-day moving averages on the daily chart. It has dropped a total of 14% since Trump took office, the steepest decline in such a short period under any president since the index was created in 1957. The only other president to see more than a 5% drop so early in their term was Bush in 2001, and even that was only 7%. The dollar is at a three-month low against all major currencies, while gold has hit an all-time high, a classic fear indicator. Unless Trump ends his trade war now, the crash is far from over and only stands to get worse.

Thanks. As I mentioned in a previous post, Ive now already read about it.

Thank you. Didn't realize there was a new one. I looked it up. You are correct. I don't think I'll bother with it though. Doctor said after 3 outbreaks in a row, lasting 1.5 years, he thinks I have enough natural immunity.

A girl who never had chickenpox before, who was in her mid twenties at the time, broke out with chickenpox because she was with me when I had shingles.

I had it about 10 years ago, well before the age of 60. In fact, I experienced it 3–4 times over a span of about 1.5 years. According to my doctor, all of those episodes were likely part of the same outbreak, even though they appeared in different areas of the body. The first time was the only instance with any visible skin symptoms; every recurrence after that involved only nerve pain. I've haven't had it again since then, luckily. My doctor advised against getting the vaccine at this point, as he believes I’ve developed natural immunity. He also mentioned that the vaccine’s efficacy is only around 50%, which is relatively low compared to many other vaccines.

So you're still a knob, but now your dog has died?

Matters nothing to Trump. He doesn't comply with their rulings anyway. He has zero fear of that.

Yep, same owners as Fox (Fake) News

Sad Emoji, plus one-star on the topic. Can't have one without the other or you haven't lived.

AirAsia is a dump. Worse than taking the bus.

Perfect. I'm here for it.
