The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm bailing on US Stocks!!!!" <--- while a correction is happening. Great plan.

The "point" and "argument" being made is silly. There was a time I would have tried to talk you people down off the ledge but now, with the Kollective Cray-Cray at 11, it wouldn't matter: you're going to do what you're going to do.

So have at. Rage Against The Machine, go engage in your left wing "Direct Action", whatever. Just try not to hurt somebody in the process.


It must be nice to chase rabbits, but that’s not the key argument being made.

Whether some are buying high and selling low or buying low and selling high is a matter between them and their account balances.

Here’s the issue, as stated earlier:

It’s the height of hypocrisy, after badmouthing EVs for months, for a Commerce Secretary to be banging the table for Tesla.

Also, why Tesla? Hmmmm. Could it be that this administration is trying to use the bully pulpit to bail out a significant contributor?


Nah….. they wouldn’t do that. Would they?

And perhaps Trump was just having a car show on the front lawn of the White House.


But you want to turn the matter into a story about stupid libs buying high and selling low.
