Bernie not doing so well in VA. Biden is cleaning up.

No surprise. The Deep State Bureaucracy don't want Bernie, because he'll spend it on Medicare instead of an Iran Invasion or SLS-2

Among Democrats, 51% said united, while 49% said divided.

Put 'em all in room, open a box of straight razors, see what happens.

Treasury yields are collapsing, down to 1% for 10 yrs.
My bonds are flying.
Any suggestion on when to dump them?

Hillary is cleaning up tonight.

I mean Biden. ;)

I can't figure out which unelectable dem will win the nomination now.

My opinion is not authoritative.

Ya think?

Prob'ly Biden. He's speaking right now. He's promising everyone everything and seems mad as hell.

Awfully fishy that Mayor Pete and Amy dropped out, and Warren did not. Pete and Amy would have taken delegates from Biden, while Warren is still in to take delegates from Bernie.

Hillary or Bloomberg.

Remember, delegates only have to vote for the candidate in the first round. If no one candidate gets 50%, and all that takes is either Warren or Bloomberg not to drop out, then delegates are free to nominate anybody they desire in the mandatory succeeding rounds. Again, the new Convention rules require 50%+ majority. Such as a Bloomberg who didn't get 15% of the delegates/votes, or... Madame Secretary.

And the superdelegates can vote for anybody.

I'll be floored if they pick Biden (unless Hillary is his running mate and he has a horrible medical incident after the Convention)

Looks like it is up to California to push Bernie over the top.

I gotta hand it to the Dems, they succeeded where the GOPe failed in 2016. They knew Jeb! would be a fairly weak candidate, so they put in Cruz and Rubio and Kasich to divide the votes until the convention, and then suddenly they'd all gather around Jeb! That's why Trump went after Jeb! and then Rubio in turn. It's also why Kasich stayed in until the end, hoping for a Convention Steal.

The Dems are doing this with Biden/Bloomberg who are the stalking horses of the Clintons. It's also why Obama has been quiet.

Why else didn't Kloby or Butty wait until the last minute, giving their supporters little time to consider?

Why didn't Klobuchar at least stay in tonight in order to win delegates from her home state in order to get bennies and facetime at the Convention for the future?

What about Texas?

Teas looks like Biden and Bernie will have about the same number of delegates, with perhaps a small few extra for Bernie.

'What's worse than a Republican or Democrat? It's when these assholes work together!'

Interesting. Republicans and Democrats worked together to try and stop Trump. Assholes.

Patrick says

Or maybe the corona virus panic made it onto the list. Still not Trump's fault in the least.

Democrat Media Establishment will try to play this like they did with the 2008 crash that propelled Obama to victory. They had a major part in causing enough problem to facilitate the market crash within a couple months of the 2008 election.

The problem is they blew their load too soon as the coronavirus will most likely be defeated well before the Democrat convention.

The Democrat cult has to pull out another crisis or something else out of their Trump Derangement Syndrome hat within a couple months of the election.

The flip side to these drops are the gains. I had one of my best stock-market days just last Monday. At lunch my colleagues jokingly asked if I were going to be buying a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, to which I replied: One of each!

Isn't It Time To Replace the United States Justice Department With Eric Trump!?

He might be even more effective than Barr. By the time he figures anything out, the statutes of limitation would have all run out.

I’m down 7.3% from a little while ago.

I hope by summer it will have gone back up.

Baron Trump is the new chairman of the fed. He got a B- in pre-calc. Hes ready

Yeah, and so is the S&P 500 by almost that amount

Patrick says

Oh be serious, as if even a beginning investor couldn't tell the difference between points and percents! Any investor that just looks at points will soon be bankrupt due to incompetence.

clambo says

Dimwits and the media always incorrectly represent the points an index has changed, not the percentage change.

They’re either stupid or evil trying to mislead investors.

The OP is now officially a one trick pony, a.k.a perma-bear, but with a political motive.

If we replace department of education with a rock, it’ll increase SAT test scores.

Doesn’t need to be an expensive rock, an ordinary pebble will suffice.

How about one of these?

Too expensive, just a free fucking pebble from outside.

No one is blaming Obama for anything, except shitty Obamacare which is still on the books.

Trump fixed most of the things Obama fucked up, not everything, but most.

But if the virus takes hold here, then it could be a few years before stocks rally. But rally they will.

"Buy when there's blood in the streets."

No time to buy as you have to wait it out. Don't catch the falling knife.

If your 50 and under with no intention of retiring in the next 5-7 years, you should be buying and buying a lot of index funds if you don't have time to research. Double or triple your 401k withholdings if they are paid each paycheck and fund purchases immediately.

You've given the worst possible advice and I don't get why?

Like wookie says, if you have the income, keep buying stock mutual funds for capital appreciation.

Personally I prefer actively managed funds in retirement accounts and index funds in taxable accounts because they are tax efficient (don’t produce big 1099).

Either way, time invested will increase your pile, compounded dividends are the secret boost.

I wish I had more income, but I won’t be able to do anything about that for a few months.

People in S. Florida said to me “enjoy your money, you can’t take it with you”, but I somehow can’t switch gears to stop wanting to invest.

If you aren’t buying dips, you are missing out.

No one is gonna hold your hand and tell you to buy now.

Being a winner is a choice. Being a loser is a default.

You advocate staking financial stability on gambling hunches and "loser" status on not gambling.

Is this wise?

It’s not gambling if you know what you are doing and have a predictable ror.

"a predictable ror"!
LOL

That’s funny. He said nothing about SS and Medicare. So much fake news on the left, I am under impression that the left today is autistic with TDS.

Choices, Choices? Do we gamble on Coronavirus, or just rob corpses?

Starting age for SS should be 95, and Medicare 100. Problem solved. Stogies for lobbyists.

I hear that Coronavirus, zinc, nitrogen and a few mowed down neighbors really green up the lawn.

What are you complaining about? You finally got the turf you wanted - AMMO and YAMS! Maybe Realtors are free to hunt next. FACE! is back on the dinner menu again.

It could have been worse. He could have come out as a Democrat.

I haven't seen them taking any young folks off cruise ships in body bags.
