Bigworld, Well at least the metals are rallying :o)

Fwiw, on the stock side, I decided to stay on the sidelines and not chase the rally. It never really sold off enough to get sufficiently oversold imo, unlike last year's tariff crash. The current S+P 500 was only down 9%, compared to last year's 20% decline (23% intraday), and there are still plenty of reasons to be wary. Some degree of global recession now seems likely, but hopefully just a quarter or two of negative GDP (?) The private credit situation also bears watching.

Our illustrious mainstream media attacked Trump for getting into the war, but are now attacking him for trying to end it. The politics in this country have become off the charts toxic and self-destructive. I'm with you on the idea of not voting at all. I basically gave up on both Parties ~ 20 years ago, and voted for Ron Paul and another Libertarian as a protest vote. Both main Parties are bankrupt imo, so can't see voting for either. The US Debt bomb is ticking, the Social Security insolvency approaches (2032), and investors need to come up with some serious damage control strategies. 3-5 years appears to be the timeline.
