[zombiewoof]

[zombiewoof]

Thanks for the mho

[Amy10223]

That's exactly what's happening.

[SueShe]

You know what?

I could not care less even if the Dow crashed like in 1929 since I don't own any funds or bonds. I just hope that all those that want to make a fast buck on the back of others find themselves bankrupt and on the streets on the USA.

I do hope that those megalomaniacs circling in the White House and that pay their employees minimum wage lose trillions altogether and start wondering why they have elected such a loser at the White House.

I have no pity whatsoever for anyone that has lost a cent if they have voted for that megalomaniac.

[Sevenpointfive]

donald trump isn't rich but he's not a loser either. he's an old man that grew up in new york. idolized his father but never saw him. still he respected his trade and moved his way up in it like his father. he's a realtor and hardworking businessman. are you going to start calling all realtors losers and megalomaniacs?

[SueShe]

@Sevenpointfive Keep dreaming in your bubble...

[jamesgoldman]

Yah, probably would I assume your money is fiat or still in the bank
It'll all be gone
I'll stick with real money, 5,000 years has proved in works

[SueShe]

@jamesgoldman I am a student. I have no money and thus I cannot lose anything. I have no credit card and I cannot spend more than what I have in cash in my wallet.

[SueShe]

@jamesgoldman No, I live in a civilized country and not in the US.

[jamesgoldman]

Not the US here either yet

[msc545]

@Sevenpointfive Yes, Trump is a loser. He managed to bankrupt a CASINO for god sake, and has had 7 bankruptcies.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Most of Trump 's voters were middle-and working-class !!!

[msc545]

@jamesgoldman sure - keep hoarding gold. Try to pay your bills with gold and see what happens.

[jamesgoldman]

Were talking savings not cashflow

[msc545]

@jamesgoldman Inflation will kill your savings.

[jamesgoldman]

That why they are in gold as opposed to fiat

[beefcakebradybatson]

@Sevenpointfive Donald Trump is the poster boy for fortunate sons.

[msc545]

Try going to the market and offering them gold for groceries and see what happens.

[jamesgoldman]

If I'm tapping savings for groceries, then I'm already setting up a WiFi trap for the young, they'll make the best eating

[beefcakebradybatson]

@Sevenpointfive Only if they ARE megalomaniacs like Trump !!!

[Sevenpointfive]

@jamesgoldman gold is just a commodity. countries own millions of tons of it. i don't think stacking this metal matters at the end of the world. it could. i've seen it happen.

@beefcakebradybatson well, he is on posters, but if you have a picture of his early childhood home, please post it.

[jamesgoldman]

Approximately 150,000 tonnes in existence, end of the world no but well that hasn't happened yet

[beefcakebradybatson]

You can't reason with Trumpsters, msc545 !!!

[msc545]

@beefcakebradybatson you really cannot...

[beefcakebradybatson]

@Sevenpointfive Don't need a picture of his boyhood home. Trump was born on third and believes he tripled !!!

[Sevenpointfive]

still 8,000 tons! in just the u. s? and not all gold has been found

[NoDecision]

Stocks rise and stocks fall. And things crash such as the 2008 housing fiasco. I can't afford to lose and maybe lose my business, so I refrain from buying stocks. I took a chance on some once and they never did rise but instead are about the same price as they were when I bought them. As technology advances some will be useless and others will take their place.

[NathanDavis]

the yo-yo is still a yo-yo... no matter who, or what...

[ProbablyClueless]

I did know that. It's just more of the same old same old; dumbshit investors white knuckling the absolute hell out of absolutely everything that isn't smooth-as-glass stability.

[Amy10223]

Did this happen today? Because not long ago, it also dropped by a lot. If this is the second time--I see a recession coming on, as was predicted by some economists.

[jamesgoldman]

Didn't know the number but knew a drop was coming the Financial times said about it but gold slipped too which did honestly surprise me

[Sevenpointfive]

where did your gold go? just kidding. gold isn't a safe bet either. if you looked up the countries with the most gold it might surprise you. there is no shortage.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Thank you for informing me, I think it’s wonder & stocks are on sale.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, I'm still beating the market this year but we're both in the red now. Today was a debacle. I dropped about 6500.

[Ariesman81]

Yeah... my home value is probably gonna drop too. What's your point?

[msc545]

My point is that, before the election, he promised a good economy.

[Ariesman81]

Good for who?

[msc545]

I don't think he specified that but he implied for everyone. In truth, this is for the rich only, and only some of them.

[Ariesman81]

Home values will come down. That's pretty good for first time home buyers and real estate investors.

[msc545]

Bad for me.

[Sevenpointfive]

@msc545 stop being such a real estate tycoon. give renters a break

[douride2]

No surprise there. What did they think would happen?

[Anonymous]

My husband invested when the stock market dropped.

[exitseven]

Yes, too bad because it was almost back to where it was before. I imagine this time next week the democrats will have something else to scream about

[msc545]

@exitseven Keep making excuses while you lose money.

[exitseven]

It will recover next week. Already some companies are offering discounts on their products and will absorb any tariffs. A few countries including Canada want to end tariffs altogether if the US will do the same. Next week things will look a lot different.

[msc545]

Wait and see. I don't think it will recover.

[exitseven]

still , it will

[msc545]

it is almost next week - is it recovering? I don't think so. Getting worse, actually.

[Kelly6]

@msc545 its also because of war news
