Isn't that Michelle Obama? As in being both an educated woman, and a minority too?

Shit stirrer.

 

[Ms_Ann]

Her words, not mine.

 

[Colonel Hogan]

Her words, not mine.

Clearly Michelle is unaware just how hopeful many of us are about the future of this country simply due to the fact that her husband will soon be changing his Washington address.

Maybe she was channeling Hillary Clinton. Every change in party throws half the country into the pits.

That is like feeling hopeful because your imperfect but reasonably good health is being supplanted by AIDS, Ebola and Zika, with a side order of typhoid and plague for dessert.

 

[water505]

She's as out of touch as her narcissist husband.

The Dow almost hits 20,000 and companies are announcing new hiring. These clowns live on another planet.

"Imperfect, but reasonably good health"

The word you are looking for, counselor, is malaise.

Yeah I would be just terrible if the same thing happened economically that happened after James Earl Carter left office.

*chuckle*

I guess she is no longer proud of her country. At least she had eight good years...

You do realize the Dow has been near 20,000 for some time now. And eight years ago as I recall it was closer to 10,000.

Bit o a difference about it continuing to rise post-election, post idiot Krugman's apocalyptic pronouncement, and post 80 billion dollars a month in phony money being pumped into it

Earnings support the prices. I know the BroPatrol loathes a strong economy in Dem administrations, but it happens all the time.

No, having nowhere else to invest free money and make money was the driving factor.

Go back and study your PE rations and you will see how fallacious your reasoning is.

An exuberance bubble will eventually result in a correction.



But this is the same effect as when Obama was elected. When he was elected, people did not share in a hope and change, they studied who he was and invested accordingly and not so much in stocks. Trump is just the opposite, investors feel hopeful.

Caveat: I have made no big changes nor do I plan to because he is still not President and still not proven that he can actually get Congress to enact any change.

The first test will be on the executive order rollback front...

Then we will know.

 

[Ms_Ann]

Maybe the Obamas can do for hope what they did to race relations...

But, it ain't malaise. We have a strong economy now -- not so good for ordinary workers, whose wages have been depressed for decades, through administrations Pub and Dem -- but strong in the big-picture sense, and much better than it was in 2008: Growth high, unemployment low, inflation minimal . . . enjoy it while it lasts.

No money that can buy things is phony.

No money that can buy things is phony.

So if I max out 100 credit cards I'll be ok?

 

[Ms_Ann]

Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.

Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.

Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.

Such characters in colour dim I mark'd
Over a portal's lofty arch inscrib'd:
Whereat I thus: Master, these words import.

Forward twelve months P/E is around 18. Slightly high, people are confident of our prospects. There's nothing "free" about the money I invest. And bonds were an easy place to make money. You really should get your nose out of a book and look around more.

How to Overcome Your Feelings of Hopelessness

From Oprah.com...how ironic.

 

[Queertag45]

What could possibly go wrong with white supremacists leading the country?

 

[Ms_Ann]

Millions of student lunch eaters have hope for the first time in a long time.

Well considering according to the left there has only ever been 1 president that wasn't a white supremacist (all white males are) it can't be too bad.

Lincoln was a pretty good white supremacist POTUS....Jefferson...Washington...FDR....Clinton were all white supremacist and we managed just fine.

how about you quote something more convincing than a hackneyed than an overused Bobs csatch phrase?

I know that you have a subscription to the Wall Street Journal. How about looking at the actual aberage price-to-earnings ratio?

The Dow is at about 25-26 right now which is up there in the same territory it was right before the last crash. It's almost double where it should be.

Just because esrming and prices both rose doesn't mean that they both rose in appropriate relation yo each other.. Most of the increases in earnings ste because of reduction in expenses. Automation reduction in workforce offshore production. you only get that game. Earnings are not signifigantly rising because demand is up to the same degree. Demand for goods and services has been strengthening but it's nowhere near where it should be to support this level of prices.

No money that can buy things is phony.

Thete ste no vonsequences to creating money out of thin air?

Why didn't they create a hundred and sixty billion dollars a month and pump that down up to 30,000 points?

"Buyimg things" is exactly what counterfeiters do with counterfeit money. Just because they successfully pass a bill doesn't make it real.
