The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Who got elected and the politics of that person are by leaps and bounds the most important investing variable when their platform is radical. To attempt to take this out of an investment forum is literally playing child's games.

We have all together made Trump easily the most powerful man in my 70 year lifetime. The grievance is the sell and anger/revenge are attractive/addictive to a huge percentage of people, so elections will reflect that. But what comes along with revenge/anger leadership?

As I wrote before, jolts down are coming. My view is whatever the current set of jolting principals Trump is performing will be followed by many, many, many more because it is he and only he who has the power today...far-far-far different the DJT 1 four years.

I think even with a 25% or lower approval Trump can maintain his control of the US. Fear is going to ratchet up.

And a rally? That's just the one thing that will prove this downturn cycle is NOT over!
