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.

Oooh, I’ll have to keep that in mind. I had to go on the hunt for a USB dock with Ethernet and my phone was right there the whole time.

I just installed Pop!OS on my 2012 MacBook Pro and it’s amazing. No matter which distro you go with, you will likely need to manually update and install the WiFi drivers. You’ll need an Ethernet connection, which might mean you’ll need an adapter.

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.

Generally only those in and around Louisville.

Kentucky has a Democrat governor which is likely the reason.

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.

Did they make sure his arm dropped 3 times? If they stopped checking at 2 he might still be alive.

I agree… I love my Macbooks for how well the hardware works, and I love how I can open up terminal and do pretty much anything I want. What I don’t like is how consumer hostile it is when it comes to being able to upgrade or repair. I also don’t like Apple’s insistence on telling me what I do and do not want in a product. According to Steve Jobs no one wants a touchscreen on their laptop, and even though he’s been dead for over a decade and the market has shown otherwise, they still don’t have a touchscreen Macbook (and if they ever do release one they’ll fawn over how innovative they are for doing so).
