Well, you can sure bet that SEC will step in, to 'protect' and dems of the like of Pelosi and Biden will regulate the s--- out of the retail investing. It's fun and game until people will start losing money, in the meanwhile you have HFTs getting rich and some craze on the OTC deals, where hedge funds reposition, while some smaller funds will suffer as a collateral damage. I wonder what FED thought that will happen with 0% to negative yields and helicopter money dropped onto the market. Inflation had to materialize somewhere, if not in the real economy and prices it was bound to appear in stock market. The whole thing is so inflated and out of touch from fundamentals, that's just nutts. You have real economy suffering worst gdp in decades in many developed countries, yet stock markets are sky high at the record values.

Guard Dog 9,504 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 RBG was replaced by a body double The pedophiliac lizard people will be furious! Another brilliant scheme of theirs has been uncovered by the intrepid posters at QAnon or something "The man of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys.

Bartimaeus 2,427 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Seems like a major misstep to kill off the body double before Trump left office. Put fascists and sociopaths on your ignore list. Quote Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. Link to post Share on other sites
