  1. Well, well, well. Ford is unable to make a buck on EVs, gets its hind end handed to it by the competition, and then the CEO goes on TV to say what a poor choice EVs are for consumers. What a surprise.🙄

  3.  @billsattic  Sounds more like someone who didn't make it past 7th grade. No one born outside the US can become president. Also addicted to her own fantasies.

  4. You're talking about the difference between perplexed, baffled and amazed, staggered. I think we're both, and the two words are first cousins at the least if you ask me. Btw, the built-in Oxford dictionary in my browser includes bewildered in the list of thesaurus words for astounded.

  8.  @leviticusemmanuel4421  Yeah, well there's a lot of places to make tea towels and toys for cheap. And it might take a while but South Korea, Japan and other countries can take over electronics manufacturing. Who tf needs a bunch of China-made things that strengthen the corrupt and genocidal Xi regime? I'm happy reading a book instead of staring at some little screen. If I don't have a smartphone I can place landline calls for a year, or five years. No fg problem.

  9.  @DaretoExplore  Tesla. SpaceX. X. Those are not minor headquarters. And there are numerous others. Meanwhile, which companies are moving to California? ........ [sound of one cricket]

  10. The pay package for me as the owner of my home since I bought it has been spectacular, and the home's pre-tax profit has been negative (taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc.). For me and for Tesla shareholders it's not about profits, it's about what their holdings are worth. Also, they have the right to be wrong.

  11. 13,000? Big deal. That's a fraction of a per cent. How is it news before the vacancy rate reaches a couple of per cent, i.e. 100,000-plus?

  12. He didn't say "in investing". He's talking about a set of stocks which you'll just lose more on if you don't ditch them now. Pay attention and use your head.

  13. ​ @williamc4221  Ok, he did say—or rather, mumbled, as he does so often—'in this business'. I didn't hear that even though I indeed was paying attention. Happens a lot. Conceivably he meant 'in this matter', i.e. the matter of the loser stocks on the screen. Probably not, though. Twenty times more likely he did mean in investing. In which case I think one has to doubt he meant it in the most literal possible way: e.g., you buy a stock, it immediately falls below your purchase price and stays there for 10 days, so you sell it. This seems to be what you made of it, but I think there's not much chance of that, and that's why I replied to you in the first place. I my view nothing makes any sense at all except that he meant you must not be too patient, or endlessly patient, as in: "In this business, having a deep well of patience is not a virtue." That means his problem is having (in this instance, though not ordinarily) a sloppy manner of speaking. A moment's carelessness in choice of words, not a confused and mistaken view of investing and when to sell stocks. It sounds like you hate him, or you wouldn't have been concerned and seen it the way I do instead.

  14. He did. He said he was wrong. Remember, to be a great investor you only have to be right around 55% of the time. People who make a lot of money also makes lots of mistakes.

  15. It won't be Americans to blame for a world war, let alone young Americans, if all they do is stand up to the attempts of the nauseating Authoritarian Axis to gradually take over the world. So please redirect your remarks to the tyrants in control in Beijing, Moscow, Teheran, Pyongyang, etc. They're the ones who need your moral correction, your 'teaching.'

  18.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  I'm not mistaken. I've sourced trade stats there numerous times. It's your government, not mine. Btw, the FTC has absolutely zero to do with international trade. I'd check the tightness of that wig, man.

  21. What? In other words "isn't a series of disasters what we need to improve things?"? You're dreaming. Disasters do not add up to exciting change, they add up to traumatizing misery, period. I suppose in 1939 you would've thought "hey, maybe this is gonna be just what we need iron everything out". I suppose if you found your family life unfulfilling you'd hope for your kid to die, your wife to lose her job, and your house to burn down in order to "shake things up" and make for a fresh start? Good god, man, get real. You really sound like one of those people without any clue of how good they've got it. Life isn't a fascinating TV series. It's real. This crisis is bringing out rarely-seen dark human pathologies in a lot of people, if YT comments are any indication.

  22.  @jfjoubertquebec  Thanks for your reply. In your OP, you weren't very explicit. When that's the case, I assume I'm more or less being requested to take the meaning that's most apparent. But this is great news. Glad I misjudged you. Sorry, then. So what did you in fact mean?

  23.  @jfjoubertquebec  Ok, just don't cheerlead for calamity and we're cool. Good luck staying healthy.

  26. He's not saying dive in indiscriminately, chasing possible growth stories and sentimental favourites, I don't think. I imagine he's saying the S&P 500 overall will be anemic or worse, so avoid SPY. I perceive that he's thinking you should pick out the sturdiest inflation-resistant high dividends and get them before their yields get them priced through the roof. What do you think will happen to the current 4-10% earners if and when the market tanks? There's no way buyers with nowhere to go are going to let those yields rise. They're going to pile in and push the prices up. Lean defensive now, dial back on growth longshots and consumer cyclicals or anything with heavy exposure to inflation and a weak economy. You could have another number of months, but who knows? Keep some cash, just don't make it half or a third.

  27. Certainly not and certainly not, in that order. I'm predicting an S&P bottom of 1,200 to 1,400. But in 18-24 months it'll be a party like we've never seen. The Great Reflation is gonna be great.

  32. The New Republic😂😂 I encourage any interested person to read/watch the source material. Why get a TNR writer to think things through for you? Btw, you quote the writer without naming him/her. Ackman's wife credited her quotes with superscript numerals and footnotes with names, but without quotation marks. Bit of a parallel there.

  37. You and your upvoters would've made great hem-touchers of Neville Chamberlain. I can hear you saying "With folks like that blasted Churchill getting in the way, how can we expect the Britain-Germany relationship to go well? But Sir Neville will ensure our security!" [Bavarians at the time: "Ja, this is absolute the correct view!"]

  44. If I had my way I'd want to see rolling 3-mo. averages MoM on every one of these stats. Granularity I love in theory, but in real life stuff is blurry when it's six inches from your face. You need to be a couple of steps back.

  45. Biden could've sustained his assault on oil but with the onset of the Ukraine War he made a choice between global security and his party's green agenda. It was a wise one. A sea-level rise of 3mm a year can't quite compare to a world-wide collapse of freedom which would impoverish and marginalize the US. The Authoritarian Axis is the worse threat by far.

  46.  @redvermont1558  Correct. He was cornered. His eventual bind germinated in the QE, prompted by 9/11, that never ended, ramping up in the GFC of 2008 and sailing on for another 11 years. Added along the way were massive consumer debt, flat productivity, and finally Covid. By that point his last chance to buck previous Fed incompetence was gone and every other choice was worse. Glad to see at least one person looking soberly at things. Everyone else here is showing off their cynicism, I guess because that's all they've got. Cheers. (See my other short reply in this thread if you like.)

  49.  @brunoheggli2888  Two per cent of the market, doubling every two years. You've seen big moves made in your lifetime. How about Amazon practically catching up to Walmart after trailing so vastly far behind just four years ago? I'm not claiming it's a fait accompli, I'm just looking at the slope of the curves and the tidiness of the execution.
