Stock market has soared with 4 vaccines on the near horizon. The market HATES uncertainty and now with certainty the Coronavirus will soon be controlled. But watch now ... After Biden takes office the Dow will be on a barnburner back to 22,000 within the next year. His punitive policies for American businesses will take a major toll on the market.

3) I sold my 2017 Kia Soul to my daughter recently for $9,000, exactly what it was worth. She works from home, so she hardly drives it, and her payment to us for it is just nothing for her -- $150 a month. She has already said she might just pay it all off in one lump sum soon.

I realize anecdotal evidence isn't the end all, but she's hardly alone.

Right about anecdotal evidence. It's kind of meaningless.

But as long as we are playing that game, just consider my situation. I work from home. We have three drivers in the family but only two cars. One is off at college and when she took one of our two cars my parents and siblings thought I was crazy for not getting another car. They just couldn't fathom the idea that even though I can easily pay cash for a new car if I want it, I haven't bought one.

My wife commutes in our EV and I'm left at home without a car. But it just doesn't make sense to spend thousands of dollars on a car when it just sits in the garage 99% of the time. I end up taking Uber about 5 times a year when I really need to go somewhere and my wife is away.

If it were cheaper to take Uber everywhere I wouldn't own a car at all.

I'd rather save my money and buy more Tesla stock. Which, btw, is up about 34% since I told everyone to buy some a couple of weeks ago.

He did win the MF 2016 US PRESIDENCY!!! He works in the MF OVAL OFFICE. Forbes put his net worth at $2.5 BILLION. He is married to a supermodel. He has a real estate that spans the globe. 72 million Americans voted for him.

Versus

Flagpole - contactor working in Cleveland. I doubt your wife is a supermodel. You buy used cars.

Game, set and Match Donald Trump for the win!

Trump has to worry about getting arrested and possibly going to jail. That is not someone who is a winner. But I responded to your troll, so I guess I lost here.

Check out how the stock market did from 2009-2017, under Obama/Biden, and get back to us.

They might THINK we tell them what to think, but that's not accurate. We just state our opinions and fight for those stances. The fact is that most Americans want more gun control and support the rights of people in the LGBTQ+ community.

If a dumb@ss redneck doesn't want to use a bathroom with a transsexual in it, then he/she can hold it.

it's true that *most* americans want LGBTQ rights and more gun control, but we're talking about the 1/3 of the nation that is trumpist here. If we're trying to understand them, we have to deal with their pushback at being told what is appropriate to think.

One of trump's big winners was that he was fighting for 'religious liberty' which is code for supporting discrimination against gays and trans people.

the cultural divide is enormous and explains a lot.

The tide has moved a LOT on gay rights and transsexuals. Obama and Hillary were against gay marriage at one point...at least publically. They WILL come around, perhaps not to ever agreeing, but accepting that they are the minority opinion. I feel no need to coddle bad behavior and ideals.

I KNOW how the market did during that time. We had the financial crisis and the DOW went down to about 6500 if my memory serves. The Dow ALWAYS bounces back. Anyone who didn't buy everything they were able to was a fool. The market went from 6500 in 2008 to 30,000 today. For the youngsters here, buy index funds with a few select stocks and DO NOT sell those index funds. Keep for 40 years and you will never need to worry about finances.

for those who think Trump is done and gone:

WaPo:

Trump has yet to concede the 2020 election, but already, nearly two-thirds of Republicans in New Hampshire, the first presidential primary state, say they would like to see him run again in 2024, according to a new poll.

In the Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, the idea of Trump running again was hardly universally embraced.

So, it's ALREADY down to 66% who would like to see him run again. That will be 50% on inauguration day, and then it will drop from there as it becomes more and more clear what a loser he is. I see the fact that ONLY 66% want him to run again as a great thing. Americans like winners. Trump set himself up to be even more adversely affected by losing than most.

Yeah, but you don't NEED a second car. My daughter is not married and needs a way to go get groceries, etc. like you do when your car is home; and most single people, unless they live in a large city with great mass transit need to also (and want to). When she her her boyfriend get married, they might still just keep the one car, but my comment to you was about the cost of cars. You can buy a GREAT car 2-3 years old for not much money. It's just not cost prohibitive as you suggest.

Used Toyotas, Hondas, Kias,...GREAT cars that will last a really long time that can be had for cheap.

Looks like Obama's punitive policies for American businesses really took a toll.

And yet you think it's going to tank under Biden?

This is good, Struthers. You put Flagpole (some call him Poleaxe) in the dumpster. He can't hang with the Big Boys. He doesn't have the chops.

I saying a very large number of people can barely afford to own a car. When you consider the total cost of ownership it's awful. Plus it takes up a lot of space.

If RoboTaxis are going to be as inexpensive as they say, most people will find it to be a wasteful luxury to own their own car.

Maybe not tank but when you raise corporate tax rates, raise capital gains tax rates, implement harsh climate change burdens on American businesses and other harsh restrictions like no fracking etc. , You WILL negatively affect the stock market. I predict Dow at 22,000 at end of July

But Trump has still has not conceded and he never will. It's just that his efforts to overturn the election have unraveled and he knows that things are out of his control. So he will do whatever he can to save face before he flees to Turkey.

I wish he would disappear into the far east of Turkey.

Some people, some really smart and rich people, say that there is a town in Turkey called Syria. Only the best people can move there. It's beautiful. They have people walking around with without masks, no deep state to tell them what to do, and the people will love you like a king.

Puzzling over the "MF" acronym. I think you mean it to be "Moscow Funded" but am not sure. Could you clarify?

I agree with this 100%. I am trying to figure out the best time to sell my stocks. The American economy prospered under Trump with unemployment at an all-time low (pre-covid) especially among minority groups. Biden is going to punish small and medium businesses, which are the lifeblood of the economy.

The narrative, just like in 2016, is that the polls were wrong. The truth is that the results nationally and in all of the battleground states (minus Wisconsin....again!) were within the standard polling error. OH was another oddball. RCP avg Trump +1. Result Trump 8.2!!!

I haven't taken a close look yet, but it sounded like the Senate polls were way off. Maybe the errors tend to be wider in those contests?
