Traffic is beginning to suck again, too.....people seem to be getting out of their home offices and going back to work.

...and keep getting in my way.

It cost me 700.00 to get rid of Hank.

You're welcome.

Ondarvr,

Your recent headline is misinformation or misleading. It’s actually too early to tell whether or not a Biden Stock Market is outperforming predecessors or not. We are only 3 months in on the administration and it does not provide much of a baseline. The S&P 500 and SPY are probably the most accurate indicators of the overall health of the markets. Looking at their performance from the last 3 months compared to the previous months shows that it is only slightly underperformIng with slightly lower trajectory, but it’s hardly a difference.

The Obama and Trump administrations experienced the strongest growth. I would anticipate a Biden administration probably does almost as well, but it appears to be off to a slightly slower start.

Welcher loser.

Dammit, the voice of reason is never welcome here. I thought everyone knew that?

Now, try to imagine what trump would be saying about himself and his stock market and his economy and himself right about now if he hadn't been voted out by America?

I do find it interesting and profitable that the stock market has gone up 3/4 as much in the 5 months since trump was voted out...as it did the whole time he was in office.

Sorry, but the comparison is the first 50 trading days of each administration, not the prior quarter.

The graph wouldn't copy and paste, but I'll see if I can post it.

Sorry, I was just basing it on election day, the day America spoke...not a technical evaluation, just what you can see from the outside looking in, the tremendous spike in the Dow post Nov 3rd may just be a coincidence.

While trump technically held office until January, he had not taken part in any administration activities since well before the election, my point being that the economy responded well to a trumpless gov't.

Just can’t let it go, can you? It must suck feeling so terrible all the time.

Remember when we were making the bet and I said if you lose and come back I'd go Dan S on your ass?
Oh that's right you have a 24hr memory, trust me you agreed.
Now go away welcher loser.

Whoops. Looks like Streamer is back. Oh no! What are you going to do? I’m waiting for you to go all “Dan S” on me.

This is the DS.....not all bets are real.

I follow through on my monetary/asset bets... but a bet of this nature is ripe to be broken and full of entertainment.

I will always hold that the true effect of a presidency can only be viewed in retrospect, looking back after a long period to see what the lasting consequences are. Right now lumber prices are up as much as 171% since the pandemic took place. Gas prices are up around 45% in the past year. Housing prices and rents are soaring. With the recent stimulus checks, consumer spending could go up. Does this point to inflation in the near future, and if so, who is to blame. I would think it would generally be Trumps fault, but come to be during Biden's administration. How he handles it, though, would be all on him.

On a different not, I recently was looking at the numbers on a large commercial project that was going in. They just did not add up, until I realized the investor was getting money for just under 3%. At that rate, they appear to be barely breaking even, hoping to make a profit over time. The problem is, to get this rate they likely have a 5 year call. So, what happens if interest rates are increased to slow down inflation? How many of these projects suddenly become unprofitable when they are forced to refinance? Will the projects fail, causing problems in the banking industry? By the time any of this happens, we could be looking at a totally different presidency. Will the resulting economic down turn be his fault?

Of course, none of it could happen. Maybe changes will be made that will prevent it, Everything is debatable, but in the long term it can be come clearer.

Thanks, Obama.

Fish on...

Sure you do.

All bets you make are ripe to be broken because your word isn't worth fuckall.

I think it's just a cry for help.

Boo hoo. Only people on the darkside think that, so I don’t really care.

Your boy Gaetz is a sleazeball, and a criminal, and is going to jail...this investigation started three years ago, under Bill Barr's watch, it's not a "Democrat" thing.
