Why have Republicans stopped bragging about the stock market?

Rory managed to find time to stop by since to spew vitriol in some of his other threads but he seems to be running from his own thread here. Why is that? Doesn't he have any interest in the stock market anymore?

It went up nearly 5% today so if it retrenches a half a percent tomorrow expect him to come back and crow about it.

His selective interest is about as bad as Frodo's is in weather.

Oh look the only thing you've ever been right about. Good job! I bet mama is proud.

He's not "right". He just regurgitated news he read on Facebook. And it's not like his portfolio (lol) was thrown into turmoil over the last week.

I wonder if the spammer ever had an accounting class....I wonder what the parentheses mean?
 
The firm said investors should expect more volatility and attributed the unease to "chaos in Washington," as well as the Federal Reserve's decision to stick to plans for gradual interest rate increases despite the recent stock turmoil. President Donald Trump, after ripping up trade policies aimed at stitching global economies together, has further unsettled markets by signaling he wanted to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Trump appointed to his post last year but has since turned on him for raising rates.

It didn't help that Mnuchin called the 6 largest banks to offer them assurances for questions they didn't have and to calm the markets.
Too bad it had the opposite effect, as one would expect. :rolleyes:

If right-fringe butthurt could generate electricity, this thread would light up Las Vegas.

So true!! Its getting harder and harder for them to put a good spin on things. Even BB is floundering.

That's not the part I was talking about.
 

That might be true if *you* had actually done anything to get anyone to post in your thread. Instead you hid from your own thread like the coward that you are because it didn't fit the narrative that you wanted to portray with the thread.

You were just going to ignore this thread each and every time the stock market hit a new peak and crow every time it suffers a reversal.

As I pointed out long before this reversal the stock market has long been overheated because the fundamentals don't make any sense; the price to earnings ratio have been unsustainable.

Over time it will go up because what else can it do. Where else you going to put your money? In US treasuries backed by the Full Faith and confidence of the US government which is long past bankrupt?

This thread and your take on the stock market is every bit as stupid as Rob's thread on gas prices and Obama's stated energy policy of necessarily making energy more expensive somehow having the effect of causing low gas prices.

You're both idiots
 
I love the smell of triggered trumpers in the afternoon...it smells like...victory.
 
Your entire life is nothing but triggered reactions to reality.
 
I usually take financial advice from losers who live in their Prius so this thread really delivers for me.

The stock market recovered so quickly yesterday that the Housesquaw didn't even have time to crow about how he had JUST sold his ENTIRE portfolio two days prior to the crash, locking in ALL TEH GAINS.

His string of timing the past ten straight market corrections appears to be over.
