So have you liquidated all of your stock holdings today? I mean the sky IS falling, right?

[babble-on]

No, the switching costs are too high (cap gains, and re-entry timing), and this halfwitted nimrod will be gone in 18 months anyway.

Are you calling President Trump a halfwitted nimrod?

Where are you putting your money?

I’d imagine that a lot of people would find a regular paycheck with benefits while having days free appealing, but they’re struggling to hire enough people.

You know, it sort of does require them to do actual work. That's a lot harder than living on freeshit from the government. I bet those jobs would look a lot more attractive if we quit paying people not to work.

BTW, what sort of textiles are they making?

[RegulatorCountry]

It’s a spinning mill, they make yarn.

[NorthMountain]

Huh …. What brand? Mrs Mountain likes to knit.

[RegulatorCountry]

Not that sort of yarn, it’s for knitting socks.

[NorthMountain]

As in commercial knitting … I guess I should be looking for Made in USA socks, then.

[RegulatorCountry]

Gildan.

[Krosan]

Well, it finished -617!

[central_va]

Happy? It will take a few days to erase this stupidity.

[Krosan]

I hope it will reverse. The whole past week has made me really sad when looking at my stock portfolio. I am mostly in tech blue chips.
