Putin has little to no use for Trump now, so he's winding down the troll farm. THe idiot was just too big of an idiot that even the Ruskies couldn't comprehend the depth of the Trumps' shallowness.

So, with the troll farms closing, we won't be seeing much of slow and OroroROROrorOROooORORO and others.

Hey cheeto, how's the 401k doing now, asshat?

Markets tried to rally a little but gravity too much. SMH. Economic conditions, according to economists, aren't bad at all, yet because of cheeto-von-tweeto's fucked up policies, here we are.

I've never thought of the OP as a professional troll, really. It's just that he's both easily manipulated and can never, ever admit that he's wrong -- he'd rather stay off the forum entirely than accept that Trump is a failure.

So he’s trying to cause a shutdown which will very likely be blamed on him (he already claimed credit) in order to try and secure funding for a wall that is an unpopular policy, that’s going to end up with all sorts of stories about Christmas being ruined for federal employees, etc.

Why would Democrats give in to this?

Because art of the deal man. Here's a big brained genius operating on a level you can't even comprehend.

If it looks like he's a complete fing moron that had no idea what he's doing and screwing everything up... That's because our tiny brains are cooked with real facts and fake news and other lies.

Stop thinking and worrying. The winning is about to start, bigly, like, any day now.

Not yet. 2007-2008 selloff was about 50%. We're still a long way from 50% selloff. SP500 hit almost 3000 a few months ago, it is still at 2440, it would have to go down to 1500 to be comparable to 2007-2008.

Yeah, I meant the force at which it’s dropping. If it reaches 2008 levels, it will break retirement here for generations because of constant fear

Is it time to get out of stocks and into money markets? I feel like the market has been over saturated for quite some time and giving corps more to buy back stocks only over inflates it. Can it really go higher and be sustainable and Trump is being too erratic right now. Another Mid East Crisis is certain to doom the economy. I don't maybe.. I'm just overreacting. What you guys think? This is on a serious note. You can still win in a crash if you make the right moves before it happens, I say.

The Great Depression helped create some of the largest fortunes this country has ever seen as people bought up valuable assets during the crash.

That being said, do you have financial needs that you expect to need your investment money for in the next year or two? If so, maybe take action. If not, best to not attempt to time the market because average people like us lack the expertise and (probably more importantly) the resources to see market shifts coming early enough to really capture better returns.

We know the OP is looking at the forum, it says he was last online as of the 20th. Simply speaking, it's likely that he's staying quiet because he has no defenses, no excuses, no way to twist this around as a Trump victory or blame it on the left. Trump, and the Republicans that support him, are exclusively to blame for this economic disaster (and soon-to-be government shutdown); things will not get significantly better until Trump is removed from office.

I wonder, at what point will the wall street giants pull money from cheeto and the GOP because of the shit show that they have led us into?

I've always said, these guys are greedy to their own demise. Miscalculating the importance of the society that surrounds them. As we've always seen, this is a consumer driven economy. Extra money that goes to them is dead money, pretty much. If they are fighting tooth and nail over their fair share of taxes, what makes people think they would just trickle extra money down? SMH

it should be noted that this week was the worst week for the Dow Jones since 2008. the Nasdaq also dipped into bear territory today, 20% from it's high, now we wait and see what happens in the new year.

Worst December since the late 1920's (Great Depression).

There were a couple lights years over Obama's term, but my last losing year was Bush. Overall made awesome returns under Obama once the recession ended.

Market, SALT limits, exploding debt and interest rates, this MFer is costing me lots of money.

and now trump wants to fire the fed chief - https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/22/politics/trump-jerome-powell-fire-interest-rate-hike/index.html

technically the federal reserve is independent, so i don't know that he actually can...but even if he could, trump is basically pissed that he's ruining everything and has decided to blame the chairman of the federal reserve. stable genius indeed. can't possibly be trade wars, foreign policy decisions, or a complete inability to actually run the government.

I really hope he can't. There's a genuine concern that sacking him would worsen an already bad situation.

Would this wake up the other repubs about impeachment?
He's sticking in his nose where it doesn't belong. The Fed needs to stay independent and lard ass cheeto is doing
his best to bring his 5X-bankruptcy-business-accumen, to the table.

So what, he thinks that he's going to nominate a chairman that's going to listen to him directing interest rates, how much and how often.
No self-respecting economist will take that job.

Even the armchair economists know we need to have those rates, available to drop ,and help combat the next recession, when it comes comes.
And that's not too far away.
