Over-reaction, as usual.

SorozNazi and his puppets in Congress and the media could well talk the economy down.
And now is the time they’ll do it, too.

Fortunately, and despite their sabotage of our defenses and trade negotiations, president Trump still has the economy booming on steroids. Therefore, any fall would at least be from today’s record highs. So that the total amount of suffering the D’s cause Americans may be less than, say, during the Obama depression years

I have a 39 9N. A new 4wd John Deere track tractor can run 600K. It can do a field by itself. The farmers have phone apps so they can setup their combine just how they want them for each crop or condition.

Yup. Recession looming. PDJT may as well toss in the towel.

All that and the instability of the country because of this impeachment scam.

Sounds like some of the tactics the Democrats are using are having the effect for which they wish. Maybe the reality will reverse the false narrative by the Democrats.

Last year on October 3rd the stock market plummeted 1000 points. The market didn't regain the losses until May.

Three years ago I had the engine on my 1962 841 Ford overhauled. New brakes just two weeks ago and tyres are fairly new. I hope it lasts another sixty years. It has been a great tractor for small farm work.

My dad and an uncle have rebuilt and sold quite a few Massey Fergusons (the only tractor to me) but demand has gone way down.

They have quite the collection.

A small Allis Chalmers they rehabbed gets used for a little plowing in a garden.

Oh, I certainly understand it. I just don't understand it, LOL!

The dairy farmer that rents our crop land has gotten to the point of hiring out planting and harvesting. He still does all of the manure hauling and the hay bailing but when you can get it done in a matter of HOURS versus DAYS, it makes better sense to 'rent' some guy or gal with a $600K 'mortgage' hanging over their head, than to have that debt yourself. Especially in a volatile dairy operation.

might be a good time to pick up some Royal Dutch Shell (B Shares) for those looking for a near-guaranteed 6%+ annual dividend ...
