I wonder how all of those MAGA capped Farmers are faring with fertilizer and diesel prices going thru the roof and their #1 customer having been taken away . . .

Farmers actually voted to slit their own throats TWICE now with tariffs.
I guess they are finally attending that Econ 1 class that they never got to while on Daddy's farm.


I wasn't aware that Trump has his visage posted like that. Creepy, expect to see something like this in Russia or Iran, but not here. How can someone in such a powerful position be so insecure?

This is not going to get any better soon, as the full effects of the oil shock have yet to work themselves through the livestock production cycle...

TACO Tuesday?

Seriously though, you have to admit that Trump has had a weekly pump and dump routine, and an insider racket that puts Nancy to shame.

A condo complex in Cabo was slowly raising fees to enrich themselves. Then they really went after the increases.
A revolt ensued, with a leader of the group moving against them said,
"Pigs get fed, but Hogs get slaughtered."

Bulls and Bears make money, and Pigs get slaughtered.
Stanley wants to be the PIG.

I couldn't agree with him more.

You should try becoming a student of Stanley's instead of dumb memes and tweets by kids who know nothing about the financial markets.

Quote:
"The greatest investors make large concentrated bets where they have a lot of conviction. They're not buying 35 or 40 names and diversifying."

Quote:
"My favorite quote of all time is maybe Mark Twain: 'Put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket carefully.' I tend to think that's what great investors do."

Quote:
"I think diversification and all the stuff they're teaching at business school today is probably the most misguided concept everywhere."

Quote:
"The mistake 98% of money managers and individuals make is they feel like they have got to be playing with a bunch of stuff. And if you really see it, put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket very carefully."

Quote:
"Concentrating your bets decreases your overall risk because where you tend to be in trouble is if you have 35 or 40 names. If you have a big massive position, it has your attention."


YOURE WELCOME!

Delinquency rates as a share of U.S. household debt hit a 9 YEAR HIGH in Q4 of last year and we're concentrated in lower income zipcodes, according to the NY Fed.

MAGA!

Youre a funny guy.

Let me know when you finally break even on buying Bitcoin at $95,000 back in January.

Are there any other crypto-coins that you have big losses in?

Any winners?

Dude. He's reporting the facts - aka being intellectually honest. No need to take pot shots.

Oh, I'm sorry, in my world calling someone " intellectually dishonest" is a personal attack.

If the test is whether the statement is true and thus factual, you better duck and cover because a whole lot of factual statements could be posted about you that would have you running to your philosophically aligned volunteer moderator screaming like a banshee that you are being personally attacked.

*Why didn't you quote the moderator's statement about Diablo Wags in your post?
