I myself see a big pullback coming in the next six months but I don’t know that I have ever been correct over 45 years. I will put a lot of money in if a 10% pullback comes. I expect you r being prudent depending on how old you are. The thing is, if you’re young, you might as well stick it out and not try to time. He said.
Now, this is one good review, and the world's best tagline

@sma3 ... Skill at money management doesn't mean logic in politics. There is a significant population of libertarian money managers who are so deluded they believe that without any government we'd have some sort of free market utopia. They credit no…
stop watching carlson, I suggest
you need to get a sense of proportion and proportions
not fantasizing about looter apocalypse
do you stay up nights worrying about the reality of white terrorism ? you should.
sure hope people watched rms tonight w strzok
sobering stuff, guest so good, smart and knowledgeable and measured
(will set watch to await kneejerk comments)
you have not studied the policy sentiment polls, the party sentiment polls, the position sentiment polls
no one sensible is defending rock-throwing or anything close
btw, you did not mean this to come out as written, correct?

dude, why ever would you want to be in a country of progtards like me??

You have black friends who support and are going to vote for Trump? and think he is doing a 'good job overall'?
A major pity you say you could vote for a solid Dem but are not going to do so ... because ... policies?
Having Jewish relations / relationships / relatives / friends has about zilch to do w being antisemitic, or not. Trump is a known and acknowledged bigot on any number of fronts.
acetaminophen + any nsaid do make a fine analgesic combo, but nothing like an opiate for most people postop or otherwise; and no one can easily off themselves with either alone or in combo, although if you take a ton of the former and drink a lot of…

Oh, sure, it is all disingenuous and bad-faith. All of those people know it is bullshit, every word, the wall, immigration, taxcuts, viruses, world leadership, every word. When the goal in life is making libs cry --- Woodstock payback --- who cares?

are you vacillating about who you will vote for?
not remotely :)
I just meant that I read an awful lot of policy longform journalism that I wind up thinking at length (not always productively, mind you) about it and form my take an…
>> do not think that you can really change anyone's mind nowadays.
Mine still gets changed pretty often by things I read. Policy perhaps especially. I guess that might sound pious, but I bet I'm not alone.

So Old_Skeet leaves to go to a site "where free expression would be allowed," and the response to that is MFO should limit free expression of political ideas. The paradoxical claim of O_S all along was that he hated politics on the board while he bo…

It's been my personal observation that the elections of Obama actually lit the torches of at least some of the Trumpsters. Having a black person as president seems to have been one step too many, and pushed them over the edge. Their entire "value sy…

You make it easy to deploy what you object to. Please, name one person on the face of the Earth, anyone, who thinks this:

... there isn’t a wave of anarchy and violence other than that unleashed by Trump himself. But can voters be swayed by the president’s lurid fantasies?
Actually, they might. For whatever reason, there’s a long history of disconnect bet…

People don’t think there’s inflation. Look at what you paid for a house or a new addition to your home or a new car 10, 20, 30 years ago and tell me that.
