I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

It’s cute that you think there is causation between Trump and the return on your portfolio.   Such ignorance among the voting population is disappointing.

Well there's some causation, the market is getting excited for no reason that trump is ripping up every regulation he can get his hands on that keeps corporations from raping the american public. The problem is when none of those regulations he ripped up actually cause anything significant to change and the market corrects back to show how shit an idea it was to get excited in the first place. Kinda like how everybody's getting all worked up in a frenzy about this HP buff change without seeing what's gonna come of it later on. There, i made it kinda about ddo and changes. Real fuckin lazy like. I'd bail on those stocks when they hit a good peak though.

There is certainly an aspect of the market that is speculative.   But corporate earnings, which still drive most of the stock prices, are staying strong and growing.   

Of course, most of the investing populace are small net worth investors in index mutual funds and the like who understand as much about the market as they do the weather.  And consider their portfolio's performance completely dependent on outside forces that they don't understand, much like the weather.  In this scenario, it is easy to convince them of simplistic voodoo superstitions like "Trump is good for my 401k".   That's easy and makes them feel like they have some control over something uncontrollable.  I can vote for Trump and my money will continue to grow!!!

Well to be fair his tax reform allowed record share buybacks and dividend increases pushing stocks up higher.

His "trade war" has pushed the markets down, especially china. However revenue keeps growing so the S&P keeps going up (mostly due to FAANG stocks tho).

That is technically the 115th U.S. Congress' tax reform, but sure.   He didn't veto it.  So give him all the credit.  It's pretty standard to let the POTUS grab the marketing wins on stuff like this.  Despite the reality.

This thread took an interesting turn.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Continuing to call me stupid and incorrect doesn't actually make me stupid and incorrect but it's ok as you said people who are a thing don't know they are a thing, like you seem to be butthurt and sad about god knows what but you don't know that you're butthurt and sad. Which is why you're here, because you're searching for that butthurt sadness cause and you're not finding it and so you lash out at anybody that causes you more sad butthurt.

Applying that same logic to your own statements doesn't end well for you.  Repeatedly claiming you're not stupid and not trolling doesn't actually make it true.

I've seen your idiocy in the DDO Discord channel first hand.  Repeatedly.  You're an overly obvious troll.

History is full of them.  There are entire, racist organizations who constantly claim "we're not racist, we're just protecting bs_excuse_92342".

Here's a starting point:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_white_nationalist_organizations

I'm sure some of the organizations in that list are honest about what they are, but plent of them claim to not be racist.

I have to disagree on this point. It's not just that practice makes perfect. Repetition makes truth.

But I guess maybe you were talking about objective reality....

Nike was a steal at 55$. Now its just way too overpriced much like the overall market. My sub to FASTgraphs ran out recently so I cant check if UAA is overpriced. Best of luck!

I missed people laughing at my gear and declining me for groups.  Was comical to make sure I kept 6 to 8 lvl gear just to have on for the website to see.
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it.  If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

Reading isn't your strong suit so I don't know what to put here.

You say I'm an idiot but that's just your butthurt perception of me and you're entitled to that position because this is a safe space for you and snowflakes need their safe spaces. You haven't actually pointed out why I'm stupid.

So I can only take it that I threaten your inadequate feelings of intelligence. Also I never claimed anything about not being a troll, which is where I most question your capability at reading comprehension and reasoning skills. But no do go on please and continue to showcase your mentally handicap level analytical skills. It's what you're known for here apparently.

I've got it! Digimonk is actually Titan, which explains the inadequacies, delusions of grandeur, and general dislikeability. Possibly latent homosexuality. Not that that's a bad thing, but a closet case can turn ugly with self loathing and outward misdirection of negative perceptions.

The 90s called and would like their juvenile, homophobic insults back.  Are you twelve years old?  What are you going to post next, "Huhhuh, you're gay! Burn!"?

If that's the best insults you could come up with, you're going downhill fast.  Every time you post stupid drivel like this, you prove me right.

Yep, you're totally that little toady wannabe internet badass.  Or just a miscellaneous toady wannabe internet badass. It's really a tossup.

Also love how you glossed over everything else i said and went right for the wrong part to prove how bad at reading words you are.
