GM Takes Trump Tariff Hit

That's why he was great at reality-TV. He's great at the drama, he's great at being divisive and getting people all wound up over pointless crap, and generating drama. This is his bread and butter, it's what he truly is great at. He's a reality-TV personality. And at no point should we ever have allowed a mere Reality-TV personality to become President. I think we're seeing just how destructive that ended up being.

Sad thing is that his trailer park base are too stupid to realize that he's just tossing them red meat with one hand while getting fisted up the wazoo with the other.

Well, next Friday, I have an appointment with another consultant and my plan is to put as much as the law will allow in a ROTH IRA, for both me and my wife, and put the remainder of my investments in to much safer bonds and more dependable, yet low yielding, blue chip type stocks. I need to minimize my risk. I am okay with not growing them at a faster rate, for the time being, but I cannot afford to take the losses I am taking. I wish I could just cash them in and by putting them in a simple savings account but there are interests and penalties that would add up to about 30% if I did that. I would prefer not to take that kind of loss but I might end up taking that kind of loss anyways the way Trump is going.

I am 'risk averse' based on multiple previous experiences with $$$$$/investment strategies ........... sure, not allowing my $$$$$ the potential to grow can disallow the potential for profits but I sleep much better at night :cool:

a bird in the hand ...................... yep ...........

I think a good number of people bought into this "he's an outsider" con Trump had run. He was never an outsider, he was the other side of the Corporate-State coin. But he ran that, and then used his skills at drama creation, and I don't think that many knew how to handle that (perhaps still don't, we'll have to see the results of the midterms to see if there has been an effective strategy). And now the Swampy Cult just echos everything. I don't know if it's that they buy into the propaganda so completely or if they're really embarrassed and cannot admit their mistakes. But for whatever reason, the Swampy Cult is invested big.
