why not buy the dip as well?

I personally have a few reasons, the biggest is that I just don’t have the time to pay attention to the market that closely, especially since my trend line for the past year puts me right where I would have been regardless to what trump has done. It’s all been up and down, but the outcome is that my portfolio is exactly where it would have been at its prior growth based on the past few years.

The other reason is that if I did join in with the sell high, buy low expectation that happens whenever trump says the word ‘tariff’ then I’d just be another person taking money from someone else who panic sold.

And then there’s also the underlying fear that I’d screw something up and end up losing a good portion of my retirement trying to be greedy.

Regardless, it would still make Hamas successful in reaching the goal of a Palestinian state. And if statehood was recognized then Hamas could immediately disarm and hand control over to the Palestinian army, which would find itself in sudden need of soldiers and leaders.

Have you seen the stock market lately? It has gained a lot! The past couple of days it has been just barely falling… as if there’s a certain group of very wealthy people who are selling off and taking their profit. Now trump has to make the market tumble so they can take all that money they just pulled out and buy back in at a cheaper cost. Then he’ll Taco and the market will rise again.

What sucks is that the market doesn’t create money, that money is mostly our 401Ks and retirement funds and it’s trump helping the wealthy siphon off our retirements.

He helped to further submarine technology to get the shots of the Titanic for the movie, and he developed cameras that could withstand the pressures down there. He also helped design a small rover camera called Snoopy that actually went inside the Titanic to get shots of the staircase.

Generally only those in and around Louisville.

Kentucky has a Democrat governor which is likely the reason.

It depends on the state, the insurance and even the cop who arrives on scene… but I imagine both are at fault. The Jeep for not making sure the way was clear, and the flipped vehicle for apparently going way too fast and for avoiding hitting the Jeep.

If the flipped vehicle was going significantly over the speed limit then I’d absolve the Jeep driver of any blame, except being an asshole leaving the scene of an accident and not trying to provide aid (even if that aid is just to call 911).

I’ve always looked at the Avatar movies as being more about advancing movie making technology than about creating a good movie. I think James Cameron will be more remembered for his technical advances than for this storytelling.

And… it’s a duopoly. What are you going to do, stop using Visa and MasterCard?

All pedestrians should walk around wearing C-4 vests that will explode if they get hit.

This is like the “churches and charities will provide the safety nets” bullshit that libertarians say.

Which was great and all until trump raised the Standard Deduction, so now you have to donate a lot more for it to count towards your taxes.

I know most people don’t donate for tax purposes, but it does remove an incentive.
