It is almost as if China was a lot more strategic in their retaliatory tariffs. Hitting Trump where it hurts, his constituents.

I may be ok with Congress having term limits. The Senate should not in my opinion. One of the legislative branches needs old guards who have deep knowledge and experience in the government. It's equally as dangerous to lose that knowledge and wisdom as it is to have it corrupted by money.
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.

He should very much be held accountable, but I think it's important to hold all sides accountable (and I know you agree). There will come a time very soon where the Dems begin bloviating and backtracking on their promises. Both parties should be dragged kicking and screaming to accountability until they are under the people's thumb, not the money's.
Goes back to what the Oracle of Omaha has always argued..... Congressional members should have term limits.

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.

No, we're pointing out the stupidity of these blowhards and of the ridiculous economic arguments they make. If they were just random people shouting on a street corner or on the internet, then I'd agree with you. But this is the President of the United States and the Republican politicians who are currently in control of both Houses of Congress.
Simply ignoring these words and actions is how we ended up repeating the same mistakes. As pointed out, trickle down economic ideas continue to abound despite them failing spectacularly at every level.
No they're not.
Edit: Reading is hard. Missed the word, currently.

I may be wrong, but I believe that article is 10 years old...
And yet, people still give it +1s.

In 2008, there was a severe glut of SUVs and large Truck--I know because we got our first large SUV during that economic collapse for ~35% less than what it originally was marketed for.
Instead, we're seeing a huge demand for the vehicles described in the Reuters piece. It's why Tesla has been successful (in spite of production woes), Toyota is successful, and why you're starting to see European manufacturers (e.g Volkswagen, BMW) retooling assembly lines to put out EVs.
If anything, we're seeing a transition period in the industry, where light vehicles are slowly, but surely, being replaced by electric ones. As the infrastructure improves for EVs, the sales will increase.
Edit: Source is somewhat biased, but the info is legit re: transitioning small vehicles to EV
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.

The problem is that we still refer to this vocal ~30% of ignorance as "Americans".
Hell, its closer to 45% than 30%, which is, how do you say it? Oh, yeah - SAD!

That is pretty dumb, David and Khalil Mack shouldn't be up for the same roster spot. The competition at LB is an obstacle to a pro bowl nod too, but I'd absolutely take David over Sean Lee (mentioned in the article as one of the guys blocking David). Keuchly and Wagner I'll give them, but the only reason Lee is considered that good is because plays in Dallas. I hope tampa figures something out or David gets a chance to move on, he deserves to at least make the playoffs.
If Sean Lee is blocking David, that is ridiculous. The guy has been hurt half the year.

That makes sense. Hopefully you guys land him.
We will see, Dax Hill just flipped back to Michigan so net-net, we're in the same spot.

Because Nebraska won't have to play against him? If so, I don't know if it helps Nebraska tremendously.
Nope. With (hopefully) landing Pola-Gates, as Alabama is getting pretty pretty full at S.

That helps us tremendously.

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.

So it’s a victory now when one of our ally’s capital cities is burning. What a piece of trash.
Not sure why anyone would eyeroll this comment. The dude is a loony. He should also let the Fed to their job without interference.

I thought that was odd - the Herbie drawing was expertly done, but the tree and the gun look like they were drawn by a second grader.
Haha, right!

One final point: whoever drew Herbie did a really great job.

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.

Now that being said... I once tutored a guy at UNL who was taking intermediate algebra for the 3rd time. He seemed to be getting it and then he failed the first exam because he forgot to bring his calculator. Sometimes there's nothing you can do.
HAHAHA

I have a "love/hate" with Maher and Gregory as a Cowboys fan.
I spend one second questioning their spot on the team and before you know it, they redeem themselves with an outstanding play. Gregory especially...
Then, on the other hand, Collins has been a solid producer for his entire career.

The Trump Economy

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.
