Rants and Raves

[QUOTE=NewDude;6772876]I don't know what Bidenomics is. That was sarcasm, seeing as though so many touted the stock market as a barometer of how well the economy was doing while trump was in office. And also because it was down during Biden's time in office, the economy was bad. The stock market actually has nothing to do with the economy. My MAIN point was that, the market is at an all time high, and anyone that complained about the stock market before, should be happy that their portfolio is back. That is, unless of course you somehow managed to trail the SPY, which is hilarious if that's what anyone is willing to pay for. The only reason to have an advisor is to beat the SPY, if your advisor can't beat the SPY, you should fire them and just buy the fucking SPY. Save 2-4% and make the benchmark.[/QUOTE]Isn't it funny that Biden does. Seems so many forget what Corona did to the economy and this country. Live and (hopefully) learn.

[QUOTE=JadeEast69;6771430]We tried to warn our Democrat friends four years ago about this fraud but they were too concerned about mean tweets to listen. We knew what was going to happen. Now you do too, now that it's too late. The insane reality is that you'll vote for Biden again, provided of course that his handlers are able to prop up his bony, useless ass one more time in his basement as they blow smoke up your asses telling you what wonderful things he has done when nothing could be further from the truth. Unfortunately you will destroy the country underneath your feet just to get rid of Trump. Biden's handlers know that too and so they will lead you off the cliff just like they did in 2020. They call you the useful idiots and they are so right.[/QUOTE]Which is a vote for Trump. So I won't wait to hold my breath and hear you say "Thank you". Some of my friends are thinking about it too. We're not all zombies.

We're not all zombies.[/QUOTE]I am very glad to hear that. It gives me hope that there are many more people out there who, although they might not vote for Trump, at least understand what Joe Biden and his administration of weak thugs represent. A lot of what RFK has to say makes sense to me and it is very telling to me what the current line-up of the Democrat Party is all about that they refuse to even acknowledge RFK, a member of an iconic family of Democrats, much less allow debate between him and the malevolent sack of crap that they support. I appreciate your response. Now you don't have to wait to breathe, not that you were anyway, happily.

Start calling people names.

It is like saying prices are down from their all-time high but still much higher than they were 4 years ago. Go Figure. The Demoncrats are touting that inflation is down but it is still higher than it was. Before Covide, a gallon of Distilled water (needed for medical equipment) was $0. 85 now it's $1/49. That is just one of many things that have gone skyrocketing! Yes, the stock market is up the past few weeks, but when you were down over 25% and now only down 22%, is that real progress?

Some people will never see it much less admit it. Keep drinking that Kool-aid buddy.

[QUOTE=NewDude;6772879]Your advisor is ass if he can't beat the SPY. Not only are you trailing the benchmark, you're paying someone to do it. Money over politics bro.[/QUOTE]

And even more truth is that less than 10% of money managers have beaten the S&P 500 over the last 15-20 years, so almost all of them end up trailing the S&P. Yes, there are some superstars out there that do it, but they are rare. In general, the best advice is to keep the management fees low and buy the index.

Now, there can be other reasons to pay an advisor, such as financial advice and portfolio risk management, but this is not for the purpose of maximizing returns, and is better done on a fee basis. Paying commissions and management fees on funds is mostly a sucker's game.

My statement was a reflection of your money managers quality of work. I'm far from a democrat, and likely more conservative than you. Don't take offense, if I'm on here I'm usually just having fun. Hope you get good news from the dr.

The title of this reply describes both.

I could go right down the line, gasoline, food, energy, everything!

And yes, people listen to Republicans. It's liberals who are doing the funny talk.

You can gaslight all you like but you're just blowing the gas up your own ass. No one listens to you, Marxist. By the way, why don't you tell us that women and children aren't being sold into sex slavery by the cartels, the operating arm of the Biden administration of border traitors. Tells us how those food prices are going down when anyone who goes to a grocery store knows that they are not. Tell us how wonderful that Bidenomics thing is working for most American when we know that it doesn't. I remember what a total A-Hole you were three years ago. You haven't changed a bit. But, A-Holes like you are proud of being A-Holes. It gives you the fetid air that you need to breathe in order to continue your pathetic existence.

As always, sucks to be you.

Ever notice that your "sex traffickers" share elements of other silly myths and conspiracy theories of the past? There is always an "enemy within," a group of villains who operate around you, and by god, it's up to you heroes to expose us!

- Like the Satanic Panic daycare scare, where everyday teachers and caregivers were falsely accused of acts of abuse.

- Like the various anti-Catholic, anti-Immigrant, anti-Semitic, anti-Communist, anti-Black anti-Mason, anti-Gay, anti-Trans, anti-whatever-stupid-shit gets up your ass and into your empty noggin, so you can blame all the faceless hordes of powerful conspirators that prevent turds like you from being successful.

It's helpful to have a faceless enemy to rally against.

The "enemy within" is secretive and extraordinary at hiding their crimes. That's why you never have hard evidence. Millions of children have been kidnapped into sexual slavery by traffickers, except there are no records showing millions of missing children. But that must be because we're all so good at covering our tracks! Because people in power help us cover it up! That pizza place must have hidden the secret torture basement; you all know it's there!

The left openly BRAG about their crimes, right? I'll bet a high-level [B]dumbfuck [/B]like you probably found a random anomaly in a piece of footage which PROVES they are using secret hand signs to communicate.

It's a good thing we have you, the main characters in your LARP world to save us! Please do your part by sharing social media posts and seeing the movie Sound of Freedom!

But hey retard, if you REALLY want to find yourself some child predators, you don't need to go far from your little neck of the ideological woods. It's mostly you assholes.

Oh yeah...I made more money in the last three years than I did when the orange turd was in office, and I made plenty then. You should put on your big-girl pants and learn to accept responsibility for your own failures, which I'm sure are fucking legion.

Like any of us gives a fuck how much money you make, or made, or didn't make, but you have to try something to make you tiny little balls bigger so whatever. But, you have grown. You are an even bigger shit turd than you were three years ago and that's saying a lot right there, you irrelevant little gnome. Everything I said was right and everything you spew out of your wretched little ass is still wrong. I win. You will always lose. Have a nice day, TurdBlossom. LOL.

Come on guys, aren't there enough places to argue about politics without bringing it to the hobby? Yeah, I know I don't have to read it. But let's just all go out and have some fun getting laid and forget this garbage for awhile. After all, regardless of our politics, we're all just looking to get our dicks wet.

This thread was created some years ago to have a place for rants of all kinds, pussy or politics, subjects that invariably intertwine anyway.
