I didn't sell anything: it decreased in value.

Maybe it will recover, someday...it always has.

But Trump trying to spin the pause as a win...bwa ha ha ha...all he's gotten was a couple phone calls and NO CONCESSIONS.

"Art of the Deal," my eye...more like "Let's throw shit against the wall and see what sticks."

When it comes to international trade, world history and high finance Trump is demonstrating his appalling lack of knowledge and ability.

The fact that he has ensconced himself in a land inhabited only by boot-licking toadies makes it even more fun to watch...but oh, the pain...


I said you wouldn't watch the video and learn something. You're just a troll, you say stupid things hoping somebody will bite so you can laugh and laugh. The funniest thing is you don't even know you're so obvious. You think you're fooling somebody and you're not fooling anybody.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Huh?

The economy wasn't real bad when Trump got reelected; the stock market in particular was healthy.

How bad is a trade imbalance, really? It's just money changing hands, money that continues to be circulated.

So what if a lot of the money is controlled by others?

We still get the goods and services we like at a reasonable price.

Things were going OK, there was no need to pull a sham National Economic Emergency.

Just more narcissistic self-aggrandization by the felonious tlim-flam man.

I lost ''paper profits."

Had I wanted to sell then I would have gotten less than I would have before.

Stated differently, the securities were worth less.

Yes, these are hard concepts for a MAGgot to grasp.

Oh Boy! That's like saying that if the dollar value of your checking account went down, you haven't lost money.

Either way, you've lost value. Lost wealth. Lost spending power. Inflation does that too. Even funnier because you might have MORE dollars and less spending power. But some idiot will say that's not a loss either.

I still love to watch the cultists talking loblocks here in support of their guru.... and the none cultists that try to take them to task.... tilting at windmills.

Actually not at all like that. My checking account is actual dollars. If some are missing that I did not spend there is a problem. We are talking the difference between a bitcoin and a stablecoin.

Someone who is an attorney would know to say “my portfolio is down x” to describe it.

Wrong again.

I practiced law for forty years and i chose not to say what you think I should have said.

You don't like it?

Sue me.

So, a lot of people who thought they lost money in the 1929 crash, didn't really? Interesting.
