2018-10-12 04:18:12 UTC

it is going to crash soon

2018-10-12 04:18:30 UTC

there might be some short term crashing like the amazing growth we had over the first year or two of Trump had amazing growth with some negative results, but overall its been positive and will continue to be so

2018-10-12 04:18:51 UTC

nah, Trump is doing all the right moves including cutting regulation

2018-10-12 04:19:05 UTC

he specializes in business

2018-10-12 04:19:20 UTC

a) most of it isnt trump b) there are some sign of weakness c) trump isnt helping a ton with that

2018-10-12 04:19:26 UTC

we are going to stay in a bull market

2018-10-12 04:19:49 UTC

he is the driving force in stocks for awhile now, I would imagine he will have less affect as his term in office comes to a close

2018-10-12 04:19:57 UTC

but right now he's still a driving force in the markets

2018-10-12 04:20:09 UTC

one of, not the only one, but primary one

2018-10-12 04:20:09 UTC

stocks are stagnet

2018-10-12 04:20:22 UTC

they actually dropped a bit in the past month

2018-10-12 04:20:32 UTC

guess they reached their plateau

2018-10-12 04:20:49 UTC

yeah, cause of the trade war trump started

2018-10-12 04:20:51 UTC

we might have stagnation for awhile until we get past the next election then in another month or so

2018-10-12 04:20:54 UTC

businesses dont like it

2018-10-12 04:21:07 UTC

that trade war has been going for a long time

2018-10-12 04:21:15 UTC

china isn't being fair with us

2018-10-12 04:21:24 UTC

what trump is doing, companies dont like

2018-10-12 04:21:36 UTC

afk for a sec

2018-10-12 04:22:25 UTC

and as i said before, the economy doing well isnt because of Trump

2018-10-12 04:24:28 UTC

I disagree

2018-10-12 04:24:44 UTC

and your proof for this is?

2018-10-12 04:26:10 UTC

I can only imagine that conversation

2018-10-12 04:26:29 UTC

i cant read that article

2018-10-12 04:26:36 UTC

i am not a subscrier to the wsj

2018-10-12 04:27:00 UTC

presume I'm right

2018-10-12 04:27:49 UTC

i beg to differ

2018-10-12 04:28:09 UTC

its been pretty consistant since 2010

2018-10-12 04:28:37 UTC

nah

2018-10-12 04:28:49 UTC

we were strugging under obummer

2018-10-12 04:28:56 UTC

the data is right in front of you

2018-10-12 04:29:11 UTC

it has been consistant since 2010

2018-10-12 04:29:12 UTC

Trump turned that around

2018-10-12 04:29:27 UTC

Personally, I feel that Trump is taking major steps in preventing the annihilation of the middle class.

2018-10-12 04:29:33 UTC

pfff hahaha

2018-10-12 04:29:48 UTC

his 2 major economic polcies hurt the middle class

2018-10-12 04:29:55 UTC

America's middle class is weird

2018-10-12 04:30:03 UTC

you know those massive coperate tax cuts?

2018-10-12 04:30:13 UTC

yea

2018-10-12 04:30:22 UTC

do you know were the vast majority of those tax cuts went to?

2018-10-12 04:30:27 UTC

not massive but some cut

2018-10-12 04:30:29 UTC

stockholders

2018-10-12 04:30:33 UTC

60%

2018-10-12 04:31:21 UTC

ok, so investors got benefits, good to give a benefit to stock holders

2018-10-12 04:31:42 UTC

yes, the rich upper class are the biggest benifitors

2018-10-12 04:31:44 UTC

if u think I'm against stockholders ur wrong

2018-10-12 04:32:11 UTC

i am saying it didnt help the middle class nearly has much as it was touted to help

2018-10-12 04:32:20 UTC

joe shmoe who has a diverse portfolio also get benefitted

2018-10-12 04:32:27 UTC

very little

2018-10-12 04:33:17 UTC

companies arent investing their earnings into jobs or long tern investments

2018-10-12 04:33:23 UTC

or paying back debt

2018-10-12 04:33:28 UTC

or anything useful

2018-10-12 04:33:43 UTC

Regrettably corporate America can always find a way to line their own pockets. Massive layoffs and the CEO making that call gets 10 million dollar bonus.

2018-10-12 04:35:05 UTC

apple has 250 billion dollars in cash just sitting around, and instead of investing in factories, or RnD, or raising wages, or in anyway exspanding the company. they are using 100 billion in stock buy backs

2018-10-12 04:35:27 UTC

sounds reasonable

2018-10-12 04:35:38 UTC

its stupid, and short sighted

2018-10-12 04:35:49 UTC

reinvest in ur own company

2018-10-12 04:35:52 UTC

and, wasnt the point

2018-10-12 04:36:16 UTC

yes. that is what they should do with the boat load of cash

2018-10-12 04:36:25 UTC

I disagree, that is one of the smartest moves to make with excess cash

2018-10-12 04:36:53 UTC

warren buffet himself think its smart

2018-10-12 04:37:12 UTC

warren buffet doesnt do stock buybacks very often

2018-10-12 04:39:44 UTC

I rememberf him saying he liked it when looking for investment opportunities and a red flag is when a company doesn't invest in itself.

2018-10-12 04:41:13 UTC

stock buybacks arent an investment in itself, an investment in itself would be building new factories or a new inventory system

2018-10-12 04:41:58 UTC

stock buybacks are nice for stockholders, but it isnt helpful for the company itself

2018-10-12 04:48:25 UTC

lmao talking stocks when the collapse of capitalism is inevitable have fun with your stocks when I come at you with my karate moves for the last thimble of gas

2018-10-12 04:48:46 UTC

good thing i have a solar power car, dweeb

2018-10-12 05:07:15 UTC

Capitalism won't collapse

2018-10-12 05:07:25 UTC

Croni capitalism maybe

2018-10-12 05:07:38 UTC

Hopefully

2018-10-12 05:08:00 UTC

I mean the new generation is pretty apathetic towards it

2018-10-12 05:08:36 UTC

They will change their minds once they join the real world and get jobs and families

2018-10-12 05:08:52 UTC

They're like 20-30

2018-10-12 05:09:05 UTC

Grew up during the 2008 crash

2018-10-12 05:09:07 UTC

Then they will be bums

2018-10-12 05:09:27 UTC

I mean I'm a socialist

2018-10-12 05:09:43 UTC

commie

2018-10-12 05:09:51 UTC

Nothing is free u know that

2018-10-12 05:10:07 UTC

Yeah

2018-10-12 05:10:15 UTC

Not a commie though

2018-10-12 05:10:33 UTC

socialist, commie, same thing

2018-10-12 05:11:02 UTC

I'm perfectly fine to pay higher tax so I can have free healthcare and other social services

2018-10-12 05:11:04 UTC

Socialism is cloaked communism

2018-10-12 05:11:18 UTC

lol, they are differnt

2018-10-12 05:11:19 UTC

It will ruin the economy

2018-10-12 05:11:22 UTC

Only if you follow Marxist theory

2018-10-12 05:11:30 UTC

Marx ๐Ÿ‘Œ

2018-10-12 05:12:19 UTC

Ruin the health care system

2018-10-12 05:12:25 UTC

I'd love for the mega rich to pay their fair share too

2018-10-12 05:12:31 UTC

ah yes, the US has an amazing health care system

2018-10-12 05:12:34 UTC

And not go to tax havens

2018-10-12 05:12:43 UTC

Here is the deal....

2018-10-12 05:13:15 UTC

Rich should be paying most the taxes

2018-10-12 05:13:20 UTC

agreed

2018-10-12 05:13:21 UTC

But they dont

2018-10-12 05:13:25 UTC

We agree

2018-10-12 05:13:55 UTC

wait, something we can all agree on
