It’s mostly arrogant and superioristic self-aggrandizers belittling humble citizens as deplorable Walmart shoppers, who cause and maintain the divide.
I agree that it is not economically-defined.

One thing for sure, it is not Igy that is your problem.
Go ugly and fat!
Normally I don’t like to pile on another’s misfortune, but you are such a miserable SOB that I can’t help it. Plus, you tout your investment knowledge when this proves otherwise. It seems appropriate to knock you down a notch or two.
I must have hit a home run, which one is fat and ugly, you are or the significant other?
Go fat and ugly!

Thanks for proving my point.

The S&P 500 is also trading at about 2.14 times sales estimates for the next 12 months. The only times the market reached such multiple was September 2018 when the sell-off began and in the first quarter of 2000 just before the tech bubble burst.
Warren is a front man, cozying up to Becky Quick for kicks. In return she gets stock picks generated by the young traders pulling the train.

Trash article. I would expect better of CNBC, and tha's a pretty low bar to start with.
Go ahead and sell me your shares.

I love a good conspiracy theory. This is not a good one.
Hey maserati maybe you should have acted on your instincts and sold your bah. It’s hard to see any good news coming before xmas.
I did sell the bulk of what I had in dollar terms, looks like the timing was good, maybe great.
I still hold LETRX, which I will keep for quite a while, as I watch. I also still have some HD, which is taking another dump today after a slight rebound—maybe I should have just taken the loss.
I was really tempted to sell the b&h, with events diminishing...but trade news is still out there, and QE can (and probably will) ramp up. If QE did rise and the market bumped, I would sell the b&h.
B&h was an experiment for me, and I could afford to lose it all, but I sure don’t want to. I know the point is to hold it for decades, but it has been difficult to just let it sit for even less than a year.
I am at a crossroads with it, given current events. I have done ok in the markets because I have avoided the big drawdowns by getting out. Not exercising that agility just makes me nervous at this time.

not sure if what you are doing is b/h if you are always considering selling it. I mean until you sell it technically it is holding, but spiritually, you are in a different place than a true b/h investor.
Anyway, I freaked out and sold some emerging markets shares today. trump is opening new fronts in the trade war and no doubt he will feel completely unbound after being acquited in the senate...just condemns those stocks to death until there is some kind of hope the wars will end.
Hard to see how the china trade war ends during a trump administration. Could happen, but I doubt it.
I suppose at some point the markets will start feeling Trump will lose in 2020 and start getting optimistic about an armistice, driving up EM shares. Would be bad to miss that move up.

Wall Street does not want a Democrat in the White House, especially Warren or Sanders.

Maybe not a Democrat from before the 1990s but it does not matter now.
Dems and GOP both wholly owned by the same Wall Street billionaires.

The markets don't want Warren or Sanders, but there's almost zero chance either will get elected, so it's kind of a moot point.
The trade wars are unlikely to end while Trump is president, at least in his first term because Xi can just wait him out hoping that whoever replaces him will be more cooperative.
The markets are starting to fall, and I suspect they will fall another couple percentage points before year's end, but it's also very possible they will stagnate. I still think there's a significant possibility the market could drop 20+ percent, but statistically that's not most likely. I normally only buy and hold but got a wild hair and sold off about 40% of my assets awhile ago, and the market is still up more than 5% since then, so I regret my decision. From now on I'm just going to stick to the plan and not sell unless things seem very extreme (think the dot com bubble, which was very obviously a bubble).
Buy and hold, buy and hold, put in a little extra during a dip, buy and hold. Reap the rewards.

it's not almost zero chance for a warren or sanders WH - maybe 15% chance. They would not be good for the markets, but after a spasm I'd figure that corps would realize that neither could do much to hurt them, unless the dems get the WH and 60 votes in the senate, which won't happen.
But markets will likely rise if Trump loses because trade wars are bad for business and so is the global political instability trump is actively fostering.

wait, isn't it the trilateral commission that owns politicians? Or maybe the Rothschilds. I forget.
Anyway, it's some group of rich white guys who own the parties sekretly, yes, agreed. You'd have to be an idiot not to know that.
I know that, silly.

Come on! Cut him some slack.
You would be a little testy too if you woke up every morning for the past 8 years hoping this is the day of the big meltdown so you could tell your clients what a savvy advisor you are. I'm sure most realize their mistake by now.
Yes, I’ll cut Stanley some slack for his stupidity along with the physical appearances. There is someone for everyone.
