:agree: Look at now at the morons that want to "take the country back" and "make it great again."

Although:

Please keep in mind Mark Zandi of Moody's is a huge Clinton supporter, so take what he says with a grain of salt.

He is right with respect to the tax cuts -- Trump would need to cut 20 to 30% in government spending. That probably won't happen, but I sure as hell would love those tax cuts, especially on cap gains. :tuttosport:

They would be completely moronic and the opposite of what the US or the global economy needs, so I hope you got at least some personal gains to be made here :D

Oh I know, it's the first thing that he said when he spoke about it. Donated the maximum to her campaign and everything. But even so, the methodology is all still there, and you can't really say that these scenarios are not a possibility.

He can't even decide whether he wants to do that or not. I remember in the beginning he said (which, really, isn't worth anything) that he wanted to look into cutting military spending. Was actually almost impressed with that. But then of course he does an about-face a short while later. He's just like any other politician to me, only more volatile and less experienced.
I'm going to start investing in about 9 months when I pay off my loans, can't wait :tuttosport:

I was thinking the other day that we are from the land of ahmadinejad, we had to endure 8 years of his blatant (even by jomhoori eslami's standards) lies, but even mahmood doesn't measure up to this guy.

:agree: it is so cruel. What's even worse is that Mahmoud, in reality, was a powerless pretender. He only seemed to be powerful because he had the same rhetoric as the Supreme Leader. This guy, if elected, will have real power; and that is scary. Also Mahmoud, despite being one of the most shameless liars ever lived, was well within the standards of the Islamic Republic. This guy is in stark contrast with pretty much anyone who ever nominated for presidency.

BTW, Khahesh mikonam. Ishala ke khosh gozashte bashe behet.

It's just something I've always had an interest in and have wanted to learn more about. And with interest rates on savings accounts being so low I might as well invest a little and see where it takes me in the long-run.
Read a book, it'll give you way more interest rate than any investment. Seriously.

Start with Adam Smith and Karl Marx.

Especially Marx. The most important thinker you'll ever come across as a non-commie.

He can read that stuff after he places the stop loss at 210 on the SPY.

I just started watching South Park for the political season and found this meme. :lol:
