  1. I do not like to live vicariously through other conference mate's bowl success, especially when we're not contributing. That is very SEC-like.
  2. Absolutely - that could be an explanation. It also tends to get pretty thin right around holidays - especially Thanksgiving and Christmas.
  3. Sadly, most of his followers don't have the means to buy. One thing to pay attention to is the likelihood that the sell-off has been exacerbated by two things. A) the prevalence of index investing and HFT/ quant hedge funds has proliferated the idea of momentum investing. B) Some investors may be taking the opportunity to take some losses off the table near YE so that they can wash some of the earlier gains. While there has been an uptick in volatility and steep sell-off, fundamentally the economy is still solid - especially relative to the rest of the world. However, if the market does not bounce back by mid-January, there might be greater issues to deal with. At that point, seasonality and trend-following investing will no longer be able to be used as excuses. Super low volume.
  4. It is almost as if China was a lot more strategic in their retaliatory tariffs. Hitting Trump where it hurts, his constituents.
  5. Unless, of course, those old guards haven't contributed and the deep knowledge only amounts to them figuring out a way to line their own pockets. If anything, the house would be where a non-term limit would make a bit more sense, given that there are far more of them than senators. If you don't limit the senate terms, you could theoretically have two individuals from the same state control those positions for decades. Just playing devil's advocate.
  6. Goes back to what the Oracle of Omaha has always argued..... Congressional members should have term limits.
  7. Up until November, wage growth was not keeping up with inflation. It has been an issue the Fed has dealt with for quite some time. It is one of the reasons they were waiting to hike rates; as unemployment (even prior to Trump) continued to tick downward, there was no increase in wage inflation as one should've expected.
  8. No they're not. Edit: Reading is hard. Missed the word, currently.
  9. And yet, people still give it +1s. This has been my thought too. The car makers are making big bets as the economy gets long in the tooth and could completely backfire. Not to mention, if you analyze average life of cars on the road today, it is one of the oldest in quite some time.
  10. Hell, its closer to 45% than 30%, which is, how do you say it? Oh, yeah - SAD! https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/?ex_cid=rrpromo
  11. If Sean Lee is blocking David, that is ridiculous. The guy has been hurt half the year.
  12. We will see, Dax Hill just flipped back to Michigan so net-net, we're in the same spot.
  13. Nope. With (hopefully) landing Pola-Gates, as Alabama is getting pretty pretty full at S.
  14. This guy absolutely gets it.
  15. For all his faults, it would be a huge (yuge) step in the right direction if this were to go through. Knowing Trump, I wouldn't hold my breath. https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-administration-set-to-ban-bump-stock-firearm-devices-11545149435?mod=hp_lead_pos3
  16. Not sure why anyone would eyeroll this comment. The dude is a loony. He should also let the Fed to their job without interference.
  17. One final point: whoever drew Herbie did a really great job.
  18. Meh. That’s Stanford for ya. As accepting as they are for alternative lifestyles, they let their intellectual “superiority” clout their judgement on what is acceptable or not. Just look at the jackassery the band spews. It’s sad an organization like that (the band) purposely tries to instigate crap like that and get disinvited from various venues.
  19. Well how else are they going to get that much cash to KY? I mean we obviously had to top the bagman offer big blue nation was shelling out. /s
