Deplorables are bad investors, and want everyone to double down w/them this year

They bought the empty promises of a snake oil salesman candidate. And they lost (obviously).

Now, they're stuck with their decision for life, and they want you to be stuck with them. This is what weak people in this predicament do.

Good luck, Deplorables.

Dream on, rorbags.

Rory sucks at investment.
His Trump recession never materialized.
I would not let his obsession with "deplorables" alter my investing strategy...

My modest IRAs are doing remarkably well over the past few quarters

Bad investors

Indeed, Impeached President Trump continues to base the economy on ripping off the interests of future generations by building an unsustainable stock market bubble, or, in the words of the Person of the Year, living in "the fantasy of endless growth".

Double down, Deplorables. Keep on investing in the stock market, and continue to be smug about it. After all, banks won't give you any interest on your savings-- too much interest rate manipulation based on borrowed money. And besides, the stock market equals the economy, right? Its rise has nothing to do with flooding investors with borrowed money, right? All those investors are rightfully earning their returns, right?

And, the Impeached President has stoked social divisions in order to pursue his agenda of gutting basic universal health care and building a monumental physical barrier across 2000 miles of Southwestern ecosystems by ripping off funds from domestic military facilities. Double down, Deplorables. Keep on investing in divisiveness. The next Republican crash will offer you far less safety net than the last one.

And, have a nice day.

The rules for the parables are amazingly simple. Yet "common wisdom" from people like rorbags is to disregard them because "deplorables" without even understanding that those "rules" were originally put forward by banks and investment counselors over 100 years ago. Even Benjamin Franklin had his version of it with "never a borrower or lender be".

The rules work. They work because they are simple and easy and, as you follow them, you change your habits. I started with them, and modified my life to make it even easier for me to save money and invest.

Personally, I'd love to see an investment thread get started. Not for "buy this" advice, but basic advice about how to get started, how to diversify and what that means for YOU, and how to research and select investments that fit your goals.

All that information is available out there, but it's not in 1 place. Nor are there real people you can discuss those things with to get different viewpoints without having to pay for it or sit there while they try to sell you something so they can get their sticky mitts on YOUR MONEY.

Unfortunately, this is Lit where assholes and trolls are legion and such a thread would die an early death by burning at the stake.

Maybe creating a thread like that in the Lounge would work for awhile. However, it probably wouldn't last a week before it fell off the front page never to be seen again. In my experience, people don't care enough to get off their lazy asses to help themselves because it's easier to blame someone else for their misfortunes and failures.

And if RoryN and his ilk would recall that the "Deplorable" label is what got their Goddess Hillary into so much trouble in the first place...

But then, that would have required independent thought, not propaganda posted by the Daily Kos, MoveOn.org; MSNBC, CNN and the like.

Did you read the book Harpy recommended?

What does it say about investing in markets that you don't understand? What does it say about investing in markets that are over-leveraged with borrowed money, or in stocks that are over-valued because of herd behavior by investors who know nothing more than average return during a relative short period of analysis?

In addition to the points above that are considered in this compilation of financial pamphlets, does it say anything about the historical accounts of those who rose to power based upon stoking serious divides within a nation? That was one of the points that I made. There have been some historical examples, right? Where is that referenced in the book Harpy cited?

So, maybe you can tell me specifically how this book directly contradicts the points I made.

Lol. You must be proud of yourself for typing all that dreck in an effort to deflect from the reality that you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

The book sets out parables which people can "learn from". Expanding from there; those people who read the book can then set out to "learn from" other advisors as to what specific steps to take for THEM PERSONALLY.

I didn't know what "diversify your portfolio" meant when I first started thinking about investing in the market. Back then, there wasn't an internet where that information is available with a few click and a key word search, I had to dig it out. The book gave me insights on how to manage my money, and understand that if I wanted to go beyond saving pennies, I had to find a "money lender" (as in the parables) to give my money to for HIM to invest on my behalf in the way I wanted the money invested.

THAT is what the book teaches. It's not dependent on how the market is built, maintained, or manipulated by politics. If you want to be one of the big dogs, you have to play in their dog park and learn to not step on the pasture muffins.

Then there's the fact that EVERYONE in the history of the world "rose to power" because they understood that "knowledge is the most valuable commodity in the universe". If you're not a financial super-genius, you can benefit from the talents of someone who is. Finding that person in the sea of charlatans is where "rules" are valuable because they can show you where you are and where you want to be.

Finally, financial markets are financial markets for investors. If you think that they are there for the benefit of "the masses" who don't invest, you're fucking crazy. Which, given the shit that you typed in your post, is obvious.

Perhaps RryN and his ilk don't understand that in real life, we have accredited financial advisors assisting us as we're learning. .

As if I'd take advice from a leftist on a porn message board!!!

So, non-Deplorables: what's your take? Are our GB Deplorables refusing to acknowledge the actual meaning of the subject header & first post, or are they really so dumb that they don't get it?

I'm torn on this one.

I take advice from anyone. Most of it gets shitcanned but occasionally there's a hidden gem that I can take to the local pawn shoppe.
