I'd say stick to stock market prognostication but you're not very good at that either so maybe it's time to just retire

Yeah, he's not good at stock market prognostication for sure. I had to leave that Dow thread (for the most part), because I was proven to be SO right. It DOES get boring hitting home run after home run after a while.

Sure, Dow 26,616 1/26/2018, and Dow 9/26/2019 26,890. Same level last 20 months; no better than a CD as I have said. You better protect your portfolio or you’ll never make your retirement in California (god knows why). I posted on the Dow thread just the other day. Sorry none of your prognostications have come to pass, brother.

To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle’, not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle’ Adam Schiff. Low ratings @CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word little wrong. A small but never ending situation with CNN!

discribing

hyphen

And some truly believe this is an intelligent individual

One if the unknowns is whether Trump can handle the stress from being impeached. This will be much worse than the Mueller report. A sane man would at least pretend he is doing President stuff and let others defend him.

To be fair, when the Dow was around 20,000, you assured us that it would drop below 13,000 long before it ever approached 23,000.

How'd that work out for you?

Igy, can you speak up? It's difficult for me to hear you when you're so far beneath me. Thanks!

Sure. Pray for one of your socialists candidates to pay off your student debt you. The boss is getting angry, get back to your barista job, that elderly and ignorant Trump supporter wants his latte.

1) None of the Democrat candidates are socialists, no matter how much you say it. Bernie is the closest, he won't win the nomination, and he is a "Democrat Socialist". There is a difference.

2) I, as a Democrat, am adamantly AGAINST free college and paying off student debt.

3) It is ALWAYS a loser argument when you accuse someone of having a service job when you have no idea what they do...so, you lose there in addition to your loser content.

You have the POTENTIAL to do better than most of the Trump shills here. I hope you fulfill that potential.

Oh, good lord! You just couldn't wait to pounce on Igy's moronicity in order to talk about yourself?!?

WTF is wrong with you?

Just a little trolling here...CAUGHT YOU!

Ha! Dude, that thread started in 2013! Looking at short periods of time is not the way to go. I was told by you and others for a long time in that thread that I would be sorry, that I had been "warned", etc. Just all BS.

Since 2013, I have gone from an investor who was just ahead of the game to one who now no longer even has to work (and I will stop entirely probably in about 3 years).

There are many ways to protect a portfolio.

1) You can go VERY conservative in retirement with lots of bonds and/or CDs (I will not do that).

2) Plan to live very frugally at least initially in retirement so that your stocks have a continued chance to grow a lot before taking bigger disbursements. This is a good idea for a lot of retirees. I will not need to do this.

3) Keep investments in stocks, but have 3 YEARS minimum of expenses saved liquid (this CAN be CDs, or just cash, or some other no-risk place to keep money that you can get at immediately). I will probably keep this money in a Money Market Account with some overflow (meaning above the 3 years) in cash, never allowing the total to drop below 3 years. You use this 3 years emergency fund IF the market crashes. Then you stop taking from your stocks and use the emergency fund AND social security money to get your through the time for the stocks to come back. Once they do (and they will), you start taking from the stocks again and slowly rebuild the emergency fund.

Anyway, I have enough to retire easily in California. I can buy a house outright in the area I want to live and then just on our retirement income alone, have more income than we have now while working, and then when we are 62, we can take social security too if we want to...have not decided yet if we will then or wait until later to take it.

Here is how I see this playing out.

Democrats in the house vote for impeachment just before the end of the year.

The senate does take up the matter, but moves very slowly. The whole process drags on to the summer of 2020. Then there are calls to just let the people decide at the ballot box.

So Republican senators never have to take the tough vote.

But which party does that favor more?

That's a good scenario for Democrats who want people to come out to vote against Trump.

Republicans may want a different nominee than Trump but are scared to support another Republican against him in the primaries.

Their best move may be to survive the primaries, then convict Trump and have him removed before the convention.

Then put up someone like Romney in the general vs Biden or Warren or whoever.

Republicans fear crossing Trump in a Republican primary, but also fear being associated with Trump in the general.

Radicalized? You are the one supporting Trump even though he publicly and privately dangled a carrot to the democrats of doing a quick deal for asylum seekers and a quick deal on gun control if they leave him alone.

That’s your conservative hero, it’s laughable, you’ve all been suckered by a New York reality TV conman.

No, what is laughable is the display of phony crimes that you have been sucked into the last couple of years. I know what Trump is, you have no idea what the Democratic Party has turned into. I am pretty sure Trump will be re-elected because the opposition is evidently pulling out all stops of the ridiculous. Weak.

I’m not a Democrat nor a Republican, once again you’ve landed on th wrong conclusion. Deflection is all you’ve got.

Also Iggy how do you feel about Trump offering quick deals on asylum and gun control if the Dems will leave him alone?

What sort of conservative are you?

You’ve been fooled by a New York reality TV conman.

No deflection intended. It may not apply to you, but it is sad when partisanship becomes a religion.

Yes indeed! And at this point, the only people who could possibly stand by Trump are adherents to that religion.

I confess that I find it difficult to reconcile a person's distaste for "fabricating stories" . . . with that same person's support of Donald Trump.

There's a disconnect there.

Nothing that anyone says or does will change the fact that your dear leader engaged in criminal behavior. He’s on tape and admitted it. Keep distracting, won’t make any difference.

Btw Rigged if your dealer had done any form of swamp draining he would have been facing impeachment 1 month into the job. It’s going to be fun watching your new gyrations while you continue to defend him. I hope you don’t puss out and leave the thread.

If Trump is removed from office after primaries, then Republicans will be forced to nominate Pence at the Convention. After all, he will be the incumbent unless he is also impeached. And no one else will have enough delegates to unseat Pence.

No a total disconnect in my opinion.

For many people, Trump's lying, hyperbole, and grandiosity represents a rejection of the traditional political system in DC. And honestly, it's done with such bravado and in such obvious excess that I think there is a distinguishable line that can be drawn between it and the "fabricated stories" a clean cut and traditional politician would presumably tell people. There's a heavy layer of irony and cynicism that sort of puts it in its own world where it can be used a means to combat politics as usual and expose what's seen as hypocrisy in DC. See also : Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon and postmodern literature.

Trump, at a campaign rally in Des Moines, Iowa, January 2016: "My whole life I’ve been greedy, greedy, greedy. I've grabbed all the money I could get. I'm so greedy."
