If you do not understand the politics you can not make any money. This board is about making money and not losing money. We invest in real estate, stocks, bear funds, precious metals and football. We do not pump stocks but Lion, Cowboy, Real, Manti, usually post just about good stock trades. I used to post a lot about stocks but in a bear market it is very hard to make good trades. I have 600,000 of my cash in real estate right now mostly in Honduras. So you can see why many of my posts are about that investment and the politics that could lose it all.
