It is more enjoyable to trade what happens, than speculate what could happen. The stock market has a reality all of its own. In my younger days I could not believe what could happen when the "experts," speculated what would happen.

Besides traders never care, I just trade stocks.

I still think half of the market will be unhappy with 1/4-point drop, and the other half will be unhappy with a 1/2-point drop. Then who knows which stocks will get dumped, and which will recover.

Waiting and watching, sometimes I never understand how markets react to a news event that everyone knows is coming. Sometimes it is called, SELL the News, and then each stock has its very own story.

Cash positions are always advisable, sometimes it is better to miss a move, than get blindsided by a move no one expected.

It is either 1/4 point or 1/2-point cut, so half will be upset with whatever happens.

Meanwhile Trump and Vance need to stop their hatred campaign and start making amends for the problems they keep on causing in America.

Meanwhile the American economy is doing great, and any American who wants to work and create his own American dream, can. Now if the Republicans and dumb shit trump would just quit making up stories like they did in Springfield, Ohio. Why do Republicans and trump live in a world where they just hate ordinary Americans and enjoy put an Ohio town into a crisis with bullshit stories?

Just like you, you need to wake up and stop trying to destroy America.

Trump is just sad to watch, it's like a horse who is running last, and you just can't watch it.

Your posts are extremely poor, someone needs to give you an upgrade. It's like you are living in the past, like a dial up phone connection, and you just can't get on line.

America does that, this is a very hard country on immigrants.

You are a wonderful path, come election day, and beyond you will have many more issues to deal with. Meanwhile the American economy is great, and America itself is once again respected. As for the Republicans and trump keep destroying themselves.

Now Trump supporters are attacking election officials in various states. Republicans are insane.

Trump and Vance are responsible for 33 bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio. Two hospitals had to be locked down, trump continues to harm ordinary Americans.

Maybe you should try listening more, Kamala Harris has said more than trump bullshit.

Maybe one?

Trump goes after all Americans, that is what he has been doing for the 8 years.

Trump also started that insurrection on January 6, 2021, you know when his supporters actually attacked the Capital building.

Mine went up about 10 years ago when the tornadoes came through, the one thing about insurance rates. They go up, and barely come down each year. I cannot complain this area of the country has been spared many of the problems that other areas deal with each year.

I always pay my homeowners insurance when the bill come. I have seen what a tornado can do, and knowing your home can be rebuilt, or even just leveled completely. Insurance will at least try and make it right again.

Once again, these storms are more frequent, and once in a while can really take a toll on a certain area. Like you never filed a claim, when the trees came down, the insurance company told me to take care of it, and they reimbursed me. Trees are just messy.

In its day that was the custom. I know my family has plot in Kensico Cemtery, New York. The first three generations are buried there, but my father started the trend toward cremation, which is what my wishes.

That log cabin self-sufficiency, I even wanted a windmill for my electrical power, back in the 1970s, by the early 80s, I had two small children, so those days came to an end.

Northern Idaho, you had some nasty winters, the Northern Adirondacks were bad, but at least I could drive to the local bar, 12 miles away when my cabin became unbearable.

When trump was in office, and he went to his golf resort in Florida for the weekend.

https://www.npr.org/2019/02/05/691684859/government-watchdog-trumps-trips-to-florida-costing-taxpayers-millions

Trump would charge the American taxpayer almost $ 3.4 million for each trip to his Mar A Lago Resort.

https://www.insurance.com/home-and-renters-insurance/home-insurance-basics/average-homeowners-insurance-rates-by-state

Oklahoma home insurance rates of over $ 5000.00 a year, I cannot imagine why with all of those tornadoes.

Florida is not much better, maybe those hurricanes and coastal flooding.

Thats my point, so much money is being wasted protecting the very schools that never have enough in the budget to educate the children. Ohio is Republican country, and now that J D Vance has even stated that the story is basically made up to get the media to pay attention to Republicans.

Trump stated many months ago he needed to run on immigration, e made sure the Republican sponsored bill to address issues on the southern border was cancelled. Now he is using Vance to plant false stories on immigration to further that cause.

I wonder how all of those children will remember this time as they grow up. How many children will forever have the seeds of prejudice toward any America who isn't just like them.

At that age, children remember.

My doctor reminded me to get my flu shot, but to wait till November, the covid shot he stated I did not need it, having two covid shots, and two boosters have given me ample protection for now. But he did remind me to wash my hands frequently along with my face. Anything to keep germs at a distance. Like many health care professionals, germs are everywhere, and if you are vulnerable, or have health conditions, precaution is advisable.

In America we are fighting against people who want to doubt health care, they stress natural immunity is always better. America has a population of about 335 million, and I guarantee anyone that millions are not doing their best each day to take care of themselves.

Once again, we are all in a modern society that has been built over the decades and centuries in America. It is not the wild west, or families migrating to the west. Most Americans are living the American lifestyle, they work or have careers, they have homes, or apartments, they have children in a school system, and most of us have pets.

You had a heart attack at 54, same age my father had his first one, bet you were not in an oxygen tent, but you did receive health care that was geared to treating heart attacks. Just like my damaged lungs, I had medical care that is designed to restoring my breathing.

I do like the "dirt nap," comment, have not heard that before. I keep reminding my loved ones to cremate me and let me blow in the wind, preferably off the Oregon coast, followed with a wonderful meal, and some enjoyable stories.

A discussion could be generated on why life expectancy has not increased. Anyone who dies in their 70s I can understand, if you make it to 80 then you have had an exceptional long life, anything past that should be spent giving thanks for all of the things you have experience in that life.

Once again this is another false story by the Trump/Vance Republicans, in Ohio to get a headline. Instead, this area of the country is spending millions of dollars to stop or prevent all of the threats that are happening to schools.

Could you become even more irrelevant, but again please post what you are told to post. Meanwhile America keeps moving away from you, and you keep falling farther behind.

The truth, Trump's stock, remember that scam, it keeps falling as the stock market keeps moving higher.

The American economy keep building upon itself thanks to the policies of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Inflation is way down, gas prices are down, and wages are so much higher for Americans who actually work on the lower end.

America does know who should be in jail, and just thing, right after the election that conversation will begin. What will you do for the next four years, keep posting that Donald Trump doesn't deserve to be in jail.

How about all of those investors on DJT stock that lost everything.

Maybe you could come to this forum and focus.

https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2024/09/16/springfield-ohio-elementary-schools-evacuated-following-more-threats/75251183007/

Address why any America child has to go through this crap because a Republican candidate for President wants to get a headline. Who has to pay for all of these rants by the Republican candidate trump ?.

Trump is not making America great; he is waking up each day trying to make himself relevant.

When has trump not lied?

On a side note, saw my lung doctor this morning, pneumonia has completely cleared in my lungs, no cancer, still have emphysema, that never goes away, and shitty lungs. Still need oxygen when I do too much. Life is good, love my health care, and Erlanger Hospital.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-says-i-hate-taylor-swift/

Why would a person running to become President even post this, let alone think attacking an American helps him unite the country.

Trump never wants to unite country, or even be a President of the United States. But being the president means just that.

I saw that the latest supposed shooter of trump actually voted for him 2016, but please let's blame the democrats.

https://news.yahoo.com/news/im-running-things-elon-musk-154318819.html

Once again it is fine for Republicans to threaten Americans, and then there is this guy, Elon Musk, another Bat Shit Crazy

Anyone who lives in America for any length of time knows it is never easy. Ask my kids, macaroni and cheese was a way of life for us. Up north noodles and butter, you do what you can some days. Get an education, make good decisions, understand Capitalism, work hard.

Thanks, anyone but trump, he just lies about everything, everyday, always, that's your way, misinformation.

Vance making up the story in the first place, you are all bat shit crazy.

Try reading the entire constitution, your rights and every other Americans rights are right there.

Do you understand that America is a country of immigrants from all over the world, it is how the country was started, it is how it was built, and remains the dream of freedom all over the world, it's America.

That's why trump needs to stop his campaign.

Over 275 years of mass immigration from almost all over the world has built this country called America.

Yea, trump is the mental case, this past week has demonstrated that he is unbalanced, and needs to be evaluated mental competency.

Most of America doesn't give a shit about what trump does to himself each day. How about all of those people in Springfield, Ohio. No one cares about another trump tantrum, trump has been attacking Americans because no one wants him.

I have some friends who support orange shittypants.

Trump is a maniac.

It appears America is moving forward with Kamala Harris, it's nice to see a positive tone to her campaign. Trump is like a melting ice cream left out in the sun.
