“Drumpf durr hurr Drumpf.” This board has seriously declined. Well then, please contribute something elevating, JD. I do my best to provide interesting/informative links each day, notwithstanding that I am not always successful. You do a great job, and I think you’ve recently saved this board from failing. Recent weeks have even seen reduced political conflict on the main board, and better topical discussions. Keep up the great work - I and many of us value what you do and what this board provides.

You want links to stories? Here one. finance.yahoo.com/news/worlds-wealthiest-families-stockpiling-cash-230100054.htmlThe money quote; The head of Stone Family Office said he doubts the bond market will provide any real return over the next decade, that equity markets will suffer a substantial drop and then be flat, and that too much venture capital and private equity money will continue to chase too few opportunities. Wonder how many will be left after a major correction. Don’t worry as the only cash guy, I have book marked a few threads for reminders. One has to be patient but the correction will happen and those $1400 iPhones or 2 year old $500 8’s won5 keep the stock from cliff diving.

Sorry bud, maybe you can time the next up cycle correctly. Oops maybe not, it looks like we may be in it now, who’d a thunk it.

“Drumpf durr hurr Drumpf.” This board has seriously declined.
the quality of this country has seriously declined (...and of its institutions... and of discourse... and of our standing in the world... and of our economic footing)
I remember when moderators did their jobs on the Intraday. But that was when we had a Democrat president. 🤷🏻♂️

It was the electorate that kept the last president under control. Today we have corrupt government insiders, dishonest politicians and the lying press harassing the current President. That’s what’s so dangerous and our foreign enemies inspire and conspire it all. Sigh.

]I remember when moderators did their jobs on the Intraday. But that was when we had a Democrat president. 🤷🏻♂️ You’ve done a lot of bitching about the mods lately, JD, so why don’t you step up and show us how it’s done. There’ll be an opening soon.

have to say, sponge is spot on! (yeah... i said it... hell froze over)
i voted mccain in '08 and sat out '12; voted kasich in the primary in '16... nevertrumper here! a dying breed... (i went independent and might vote in dem primary to ensure a more moderate candidate... warren wouldn't exactly be friendly for aapl either)
so yeah, don't want to put JDSoTrump over here in charge of posts! we'd have censorship worse than north korea if Dear Leader is unsulted

I would make a bet that if JD were a mod there would never be any censorship, the Dungeon would be obsolete, but the board would take on a Libertarian look. Those who disagree with the Libertarian view would do one of these things. The Liberals would take their ball and go home, the Conservatives would hang around but try and avoid arguing with JD about the utopia promised by the Libertarians with no Federal government at all (not that JD believes that per se). We/I would avoid the argument for the same reasons that the liberals would leave, because he can out cuss us with much sharper wit, and he is smarter than the rest of us. He has been consistently right about Apple in nearly every case and even though I know politically I might disagree with him on some things we have one thing in common, the knowledge that those who want the Federal Government to enforce their (leftist's) will on the people are those people who will destroy the Country, and that a revisionist approach to the COTUS is more dangerous to our way of life than is a businessman turned politician. Mute point because I don't think JD is interested in the job, but I don't know that. Mods, I am going to repost this in the dungeon. I posted here only in the hopes that Mr. White and Sponge would see it. Please delete if necessary.
