any real candidate will not even make it to the election

real candidates are squashed early....like Ron Paul
Like bernie

there was no good vote for the country

sad truth


crook vs crook was the choices

Yup I have said this all along.

I actually think the perfect ticket would be Rand and Bernie together, one as Pres and one of VP.

Bernie and Rand are not the same party but I can totally see those 2 putting the country first and workign together.

Also, many dont know this but the first 100 years roughly the President was the person who won but runner up would be vp.

no more effective check on your power than the possibility of assassination.

$XIV had an interesting 24 hours, closed yesterday at $99, after a sell off in the futures it opened today at 10.49, had trading on it halted several times, rallies to 8, closed here & is going down in the futures market again.

It's the future, but I'm not crazy about investing in a company that has never made any money. Ever.

Current EPS of -8.66
I'm assuming it gets better than that, but until they start making money it's going to feel like the Bluth's in Arrested Development celebrating their stock being "upgraded" from SELL to DON'T BUY.

I haven't looked much into the numbers too much, but something stinks there.

I did buy in to this TKR : Summary for Timken Company (The) - Yahoo Finance trading lower off a solid report, beat all analysts consensus except one, solid management, great operating history, & 14x forward earnings. I'll probably be buying more if it goes lower

They make a bunch of the bearings and pillow blocks I see in machines. Both brand new and replacement parts. I would think that company would do well under our current industry-friendly leadership.

Bitcoin theory.
Up over $1000 today (16% +/-)

I'm thinking a lot of automated stop losses got hit the last couple of days and when it got down below $7000 the believers bought back in. Now it's being pumped again, but eventually it will happen again and come tumbling down and each time the cycle repeats itself there will be a high that's not quite as high as it was before the drop.

I base this theory on nothing.

I've tried to wrap my head around it, but I've still yet to think of how to even construct a theory that didn't begin & end on predicting others' behavior. My theory is it eventually goes to 5k, & I base that entirely on what people who I consider smart have written

what happened to the NBA thread, I went back through my alerts & found it but I can't see it on the front page for some reason. am i blind?

& it's gone again, I don't even remember what I was going to post. someone must really hate the NBA, somebody was arguing with me about Kevin Durant being the most overrated athlete based on nothing a month or two ago & the same thing happened. I'd get alerts but it never appeared on the front page. conspiracies are afoot, might have to get enock on the case

The thread I posted on wasn't very big. I didn't see any Durant arguing. That must have been a different thread.

yeah it was, something like 'who's the most overrated athlete' or something like that. I forget who it was, but they did their best skip bayless impression on me

Trump made a rookie mistake taking the credit for the stock market rise. If you take credit for the economic growth one week, you must take the blame if it falls the next week.

dove in more this morning & listened to their conference call which was more full of crap than most of these are, Tesla is delusional. They claimed the Model S & X sales are 'supply constrained,' if that were true there wouldn't be ongoing & massive pricing & margin compression. They're delusional about the competition entering in the 2nd quarter & exploding next year, delusional about the $7500 tax credit expiring. If I take over a hedge fund soon one of the main strategies will be shorting these idiots

The more cars they make, the more money they lose.

It's a great business plan.

He was going to get the blame anyway.

The President has very little to do with the daily fluctuations of the market.

If a wall is white and I take credit for it looking that clean, am I to blame when someone decides to troll me by graffiting it ?

Logical fallacy. Trump was trolling to begin with by saying all along the stock market was due to him. So he never cleaned the wall in the first place and it was a bubble of trolling by a true troller in Trump.

He will troll his way to be a joke as a President DasRy

did you even read my post before quoting it? I basically created the same situation ... or did Trump actually admit he was trolling?
