If Trump pardons himself I will personally take a train to DC and start protesting.

But some of the traditional indicators of an oncoming recession suggest we may be headed for a recession sometime in the next year or two. Plus, we're due for one.

The Democrats probably need a recession to beat the Republicans during the midterm and to beat Trump in 2020 given how oblivious they appear to be.

Even if you can call a recession, I'd suspect the market can sustain itself irrationally for longer than you can withstand your short positions. It's not about seeing it coming it's about timing it.

As a theorhetical approach to predicting the market, it seens impossible that anyone could ever do it consistently as a matter of a priori logic. If someone could make a model to accurately predict a market change, then that model becomes a part of the market and changes it. Or at least it will be priced into the market very quickly. Like I don't see how any kind of meta-market theory, when applied to a market, will work once everyone begins applying it (Black-Scholes might be an example?)

Is the opposite of a bear trap a matador?

Is there any reason at all to attempting picking stocks or should I just stick to index funds?

buy ****coin

It's all a Ponzi scheme either way.

Lol


Where do you put excess money?

Well now we know Jon is secretly a VC, maybe an evil one. Maybe that's how he knows so much about their dastardly acts....

WASHINGTON — Congressional leaders have reached an agreement on sweeping sanctions legislation to punish Russia for its election meddling and aggression toward its neighbors, they said Saturday, defying the White House’s argument that President Trump needs flexibility to adjust the sanctions to fit his diplomatic initiatives with Moscow.

The new legislation would sharply limit the president’s ability to suspend or terminate the sanctions — a remarkable handcuffing by a Republican-led Congress six months into Mr. Trump’s tenure. It is also the latest Russia-tinged turn for a presidency consumed by investigations into the Trump campaign’s interactions with Russian officials, including conversations between Trump advisers and Russian officials about prospective sanctions relief.

Now, Mr. Trump could soon face a decision he hoped to avoid: veto the bill — a move that would fuel accusations that he is doing the bidding of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia — or sign legislation imposing sanctions his administration has opposed.

“A nearly united Congress is poised to send President Putin a clear message on behalf of the American people and our allies,” said Senator Benjamin L. Cardin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “and we need President Trump to help us deliver that message.”

The bill aims to punish Russia not only for interference in the election but also for its annexation of Crimea, continuing military activity in eastern Ukraine and human rights abuses. Proponents of the measure seek to impose sanctions on people involved in human rights abuses, suppliers of weapons to the government of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria and those undermining cybersecurity, among others.

wow talk about pretentious, using the original Latin plural form of previous

Of course that's a thing. Maybe I should brand my own version of Bitcoin before someone else does.



My clumsy thumbs accidently make me use more Latin, hell yeah.

I don't give a good god damn if she's got the humility and grit to take the abuse - I'm sick and tired of letting her. When we let her be attacked and demeaned from every angle, we let the traits that she embodies be similarly demeaned: dedication, determination, attention to detail, honesty, level-headedness, and all the rest of them.
She is the example of what responsible, proactive governance is supposed to look like. She spoke to the American people like they were adults. If anything, she overestimated them - held them in too high of esteem, thinking they were more able to process nuance than they were. Either way, **** that. She should be held up as an example of what we want and deserve in our leaders. I don't want to tolerate her being piled on for one moment, even if she's willing to be a punching bag for the greater good. She deserves better.

Hillary told them what she was going to do. She laid out her values in the intricately crafted, practical, direct, and achievable policies she has spent decades honing. She stood for working families in a way that no other politician in my lifetime has even began to. She stood for human rights in a way no other candidate in my lifetime has. For women's rights. For economic justice. For international peace and stability.
Her biggest mistake was overestimating the intelligence and maturity of the voting public by thinking that they could comprehend nuance.

Swore I wouldn't come on here during my vacation. I am in desperate need of detachment. But I couldn't resist.

As for the main tweet, well maybe Trump can say it.

Okay some actual good news. Schumer recently came out and blamed Hillary for the lose, and announced the new agenda. And it looks strongly social democratic. I don't know if this will stick but what he says sounds great.

This transcript is terribly long. Would you please direct me to the bits where you got "strong social democratism"? Being from a historically social democratic country (technically starting after World War 2 but especially from the 1970s, though some of it has been undermined in the 2010s by austerity measures), I'd love to find out what constitutes as such in America.

In short he promised a 1 trillion infrastructure deal and said the primary goal is appealing to labor.
