Tariffs

Gas won’t ever be cheap again. It’s where it’s at Trump ain’t getting that down. That ship sailed.
 
We do need to produce goods for our own country. If a big war broke out, we'd be caught with our pants down. Also, we need to be competitive with the world as well. We start being more competitive, we stand to gain a rich nation

I get what you’re saying but. “a big war”?

1. “a big war” Not very likely unless WE go start another one, or involve ourselves in someone else.
2. our military industrial machine has never slowed down. Trust. We got plenty of military.

What our current leader wants ain’t gonna happen, he thinks we should manufacture paper clips and toenail clippers or staplers here in new American factories now? It’s all just silly.
.Seriously? Opening a new pencil factory here. Why?

Let this week be a lesson in proper portfolio diversification. Even after this week's bloodbath, I'm still up 2.89%. Sure it's not the 8 - 10 % I'm always looking for, but still didn't lose my shirt. Same goes for my 401k.

Make sure your allocation is correct for your age and when you want to eventually retire from the rat race...

We've always been the world police.

I am retired. I had to wait 8yrs longer from the Obama years. I retired and everything was peachy for the first year. Been rough for the last 3 1/2 years. Yes I'm diversified. But still waiting for my ship to come in. It started finally coming into port. I could see it coming from a distance. Now they're trying to sink it. I spend long ours on the computer every day. Looks like I'll have to continue for the foreseeable future

Proper diversification also applies when you are retired. Most finance "pros" will tell you to take your age and deduct it from 100 (or 110, also another strategy) and that's how much you should have in terms of % of stocks in your portfolio vs bonds/other assets. That's a pretty simplistic approach and there's way more variables involved than a simple equation like this. Everybody's situation is different...especially if you're retired.
