Please Trump give us one week of stability. Just one week. Don't say anything. Don't do anything. Play golf.

I don’t think so, but my point of view doesn’t count.

Volatility is why investors make more money than bonds holders. The market is back to june 30, 2025.

I am up 20% since Jan.

I sold some big gainers last week and it was a tidy sum.

Some other big stocks I have are down 1-4%.

Always keep cash on the sidelines for swings.

Do not bet against DJT. Watch Powell.

Increase the pressure on Powell. Investigate Powell and Fed Taj Mahal. Make vacancy appointment a strident opponent to Powell. Powell is only the second Fed chairman to have NO economics degree or credentials since 1970. Instead of calling Powell names, draw attention to his lack of knowledge, training and experience in economics. He’s only a lawyer.

You must be joking. Did you think 47 could just calmly fix the decades-long rape of our country with no turbulence? Can someone tell me what happened to the men around here?

Translation: DOW down 1.23% today… *yawn*
An average/slightly down day on the market after a few weeks of great gains.

I picked up a few stocks I had limit orders on.

the average age of a car in the U.s. just hit 12.6 years. I was at a Ford dealership the other day and Mustangs are $80,000 and their electric truck is about 150,000. Interest rates going through the roof and people can’t afford a home anymore. Insurance rate going off in space specially here in Florida. The Fed won’t lower rates. I’m noticing tons of homeless people now, and the 18 wheel trucks are driving about 85 to 90 miles an hour. These are just canaries in the coal mine.

RE: Nobody other than Boomers

“Boomers” are the finest, most intelligent, best informed, influential and important people in the country.

Starting with me. And Trump.
