Some are not as smart as you think. Many take on too much risk and when the tide goes out you see who was swimming naked.

Trump troops are going to poo poo any good news . You should know that . But I'll take it . I did pretty good in 2023 . I paid my place off put new tires on my car and had a real good Christmas despite all the worry that we were heading into a depression . Things are getting better but as usual people are impatient . I am looking forward to what this summer brings to my personal economy . If I do good in my construction based line of work every body else will do good too .

Tom I honestly hope we avoid the depression. I do think things are getting better economically and yes too many of us are impatient but I think that is just human nature in the 2020's. Time will tell the tale.

Unless we aggressively address the national debt, it is simply a matter of time till a crash. And not a long time....

The T word is going to be part of the aggressive approach . It is unavoidable .

I was referencing the institutional investor because he has enough clout to move the market and take advantage of it.

Any economy based around Government stimulus and ever bigger Government is doomed to fail. Forget the spin from Washington about inflation or jobs numbers. We focus way too much (always have) on the unemployment number. The labor Participation percentage is much more accurate as far as seeing where the jobs are.

I totally agree in that the ‘labor participation rate’ is much better to use than what’s thrown at us via the other numbers.

There’s been a lot of Americans being let go/downgraded and or making people aware of just how much they’re planning to reduce their work forces in the very near future.

You’re such a hypocrite. Trump mixes up a couple people and you make a big deal out of it. Fair game. I get it. Not a word about i***t Joe who does it everyday.
