    You mean Soros' fund manager 15 years ago, and about 20 years before that? Basically before Soros became a progressive Marxist madman. He used Soros' money to his benefit once. Let's see if he can do it again with ours. Good pick, with no political ties to Soros that I'm aware of.

    Considering that the mortality rate for chickens infected with the H5N1 virus is near 100 percent would the better alternative have been to let nature take its course rather than euthanizing them? Maybe it's just me but I don't think dead hens can lay eggs regardless of how they died.

    The Dow was up 289 today.

    That said. I think the markets finish lower this year. I bought tqqq calls this afternoon figuring there will be some buying back after the gap down. Finished the day up over 10%. But held. Might have been the wrong call (no pun intended). We will see…

    I mean his chief investment officer until about 2015, when he founded his own fund (primarily with Soros' money just as he did in his only other time away from Soros officially). It is interesting how you would prefer to pretend everybody that you don't like is paid by Soros and ignore the guy who has spent basically his whole career either running his accounts internally or running funds primarily funded by Soros externally.

    Trump just reversed Biden's executive order that instituted guardrails on artificial intelligence technology but "hamstrung" American AI companies.
    Biden was embarrassing for America.

    Markets like predictable conditions. Trump is flip flopping and making it up as he goes. There are consequences to being unprepared and unprofessional.

    market doesn't care what the rules are, they just want them to be consistent so they can plan for them. uncertainty causes inefficiency and cuts the market

    Markets are coming off two straight 20% plus years. I actually think they finish positive this year as well but we are in the late innings of this bull market for sure. Whether it’s the 6th or 9th is a question for Nostradamus.

    Damn that Trump is amazing!!! He just got back most all of the NASDAQ losses to the country the very next day.

    Did you read the comment you quoted? You both are saying the same thing. Market doesn't like unpredictability.

    Hang on, large swings a coming...

    What an uninformed ridiculous post.

    American industry and tech companies just figured out how to more effectively monetize their awesome business ideas, and Trump is just the lucky recipient of that. Dindu nuffin.
