-The S&P 500 was up 24% in 2024, compared to a 24.2% rise in 2023. It was the strongest two-year performance since the late 1990s.
-The tech-heavy Nasdaq climbed 30.8%, vers…
The US stock markets (NYSE, Nasdaq, CBOE) will be closed on Thursday, Jan 9th, 2025 in honor of the late Jimmy Carter. Bond markets close early that day.
So "ilk" = sick elk?
Wait until Orange puts the bus in reverse, rolling over his deplorables repeatedly. Maybe then some of their delusions will start to fade.
"Democrats are stupid and Republicans are mean." Spot on.
We will have to overcome this mess, as we don't have a choice in the matter. Watching any TV news for the next 4 years is going to be tough..... unless there is a surprise "regime" ch…
Nice catch, Mona. I knew there had to be something else to this - I thought maybe he was trying to deflect from his other nefarious activities.
But no, this may well just be payback.
The article started with...."In 20 years of managing money I have never witnessed more dismal sentiment for international stocks, value stocks and really valuations in general."
So the question remains do you continue to ride large caps (mainly Tec…
He's got it all backwards. First, you try to steamroll China, the biggest bully on the block. Then the rest are yours for the taking.
Imperial America! Woo-hoo!
We can't manage our own health-care system or our gun problems, but our not-so-gr…
Good idea... then charge Greenlanders any time they move from one part of the park to another. Or maybe even put up tall metal fences to keep them from moving around at all.
And we can make Greenland pay for the fence....just we did with Mexic...uh.…
Might actually have been a full-blown laugh. We can't be the only ones...
Whether he was laughing WITH him...or AT him...is based on the lens through which one sees the world.
I would wager "full-blown laugh", but not "with him".
2025 MAGA slogan: "All the ALTERNATIVE FACTS that are fit to print." Throw in a bunch of wild conspiracy theories for good measure. Censor the left, and any naysayers.
And let's see how those Tariffs pan out.
When you line a cabinet and W…
ABC and CBS are bowing to Trump for political purposes, and it sends a HORRIBLE message. The $15M settlement is nothing. He is trying to control the news outlets - that is the plan.
The MSM is becoming compromised. Orange is winning his war on …

First and foremost, the authors of Project 2025 believe that media access to the administra…
After he gets rid of the CFPB he can reopen his "university".
Can only imagine what they teach at his "university". Maybe how to sue everybody you don't agree with?
Was happily adding to HELO this morning when the market spun on its heel and suddenly turned higher.
Triple witching and govt shutdown threats make for volatility. But we always rebound in the end.
Just in case you had any doubt as to what Orangina's priorities are here....this morning he's totally down with shuting the government down "on Biden's watch" to get his way.
Orangina has no concern for the country whatsoever.
His loyalists (40% of…
Disappointed, not shocked. Orange has successfully rigged the justice system.
There are some lessons to be learned from all this, but none of them are positive for our Democracy.
....... and the man himself was at Mar-A-Lardo earlier in the year.
"Mar-A-Lardo". We really do need humor as we face the coming fiasco. It will not go well for most of the population.
Liz Cheney was one of the few people on the Hill with even…
He sued CBS for $10B because he didn't like what they said. He is suing a newspaper in Iowa because their polls didn't show numbers he liked. He is escalating his threats against the media.
This is our "leader" for the next 4 wonderful years. …
Why is it that a vagrant can move into your home while you are away travelling, and he can claim residency? The cops will not help you.
Why are there NO repercussions for thieves who steal from retail stores? Crime pays.
Why can't women get a…
Agree with OJ.
Trump is 99% deception, lies and conspiracy theories. If nothing is going on, he will look to create distractions. Meanwhile, he rolls out the Project 2025 agenda and seeks full control the media.
Control the narrative, contr…
With the threat of retailation against news sources, and with the desire of Trump for exposure on the cover of Time, Time probably is hedging its bets for safety through any possible upcoming turmoil.
This is the type of thing that some of us find m…

After my next big eff-up at the office, just as I'm getting torn a new one....I'll simply put my hands over my ears and close my eyes.
I'll let you guys know how that goes. Should be an interesting experiment.
Reminds me of a classic Cheers line, from Norm Peterson......"It's a dog eat dog world, and I'm wearing Milkbone underwear."
In the 80's, that was top notch humor.
Grandfathered in riff-raff. OK, that's fine.
You didn't go around eating dogs from people's backyards in Ohio, did you? No? Good. We have to monitor for that.
Need a wall.
Wait !!! What about ME ???
You would be considered earlier generation MFO. The new wave of migrators are bad, bad hombres...thieves and drug cartel, or so I hear.
Maybe we need to build a wall....to keep these kinds of people from migrating over to MFO. Yes!! Kind of like a border security for MFO!!!!
Not sure where I got that idea, but maybe it would keep the riff-raff out.
spending 12 hours a day on MFO OT with the same five people, jerking each other off with Orange Monster quips, isn’t a life.
Yet you keep coming back here, trolling and repeating the same TDS meltdown line.
But yes, you should focus on somethi…
