Well, there is this issue of Clinton conceding defeat to trump...seems like lot of people didn't think he could win, myself included.

Sanders vs trump prob would have been closer. Time for establishment to reinvent themselves

Not necessarily fan of trump but the media Pretends to act surprised when they were lying about trump all along.

The only appropriate action to events with "zero" implied probabilities is to bet on them.

Favorable risk/reward.

Following a political theology can lead to disappointment.

I tried. He refused. Tried to dodge with only 9:1 odds.

where's hydro carbon?

Eating crow.

This is only half the battle. Now we have to make sure he keeps his promises-or at least push as hard as possible. I know people here who voted-they did not vote by candidate-but by issues. Many were devastated by free trade, globalisation, H1Bs and see no way out. In my company itself, I can't hire anybody local, but only through the big H1B firms-which is a shame, when there is a surplus of talent that si willing to work at comparable rates.

Something needs to change, else there will be an all out revolution. The corporate/globalists have taken it too far. Hillary the globalist scum Queen was just so unapologetic and really proved that dems/repubs are two sides of the same coin. There are a lot of such scum in Washington and Trump has a heavy fight against him-but it is time. The populace -except in the coastal areas in their ivory towers and safe spaces-has had it with the globalist agenda.

Obligatory:

Hey, where's tovarichpeter?

Predictions are hard, especially about the future.

"There's going to be a TON of pissed off people tomorrow"

I absolutely believe an assassination attempt will be made against Trump before inauguration day.

They've already started--I saw a story about protests in I think Oregon (where else).

This.
He better hide out for his own good. Too many unstables in a population of 300 million plus..

Yep. Where is @Rashomon.

Everytime they predict disaster if we don't do what Wall Street Says, and it ends up being not bad at all.

Ironman says

Not really...

He was wrong about his stock market prediction

He was wrong about his recession prediction

He was wrong about his gold prediction

He was wrong about Trump winning the nomination

he was wrong about Trump winning the General

and for the finale, here is his prediction on the election, he missed it as bad as Nate:

-

He did miss the election (on a much larger scale than he should have).... he's done really well with housing (wish I'd listened to him back in the day). However, maybe I'm biased because his advice made me quite a bit of cash in metals a few years ago.

Dang it the swing was too fast! I was hoping the market would go down a couple k for a couple days so I could make some money!

We will never see him again. He was an obvious paid schill for the globalists/Democrats.
He is probably out looking for work!

That is damning evidence of reform necessary! Fuck a bunch of that!

Barcode the pussies for Trumpligula! They will be graded and ordered by the USDA and given blue stamps, just as the Founding Fathers intended!

Sexual Harassment will become mandatory!

Pussy Grabbing is now a Holy Sacrament, by Edict of Great Trumpligula!

The future of Pussy is great again! No skank pussies will be allowed to breed, only the most grabbable pussies will proliferate!

Thanks for the entertaining post AF

Not for long!

You could have bet Trump at better than +600 24 hours ago

Being that none of you did that, you should probably stfu

Which one? I thought only IEM and PredictIt are legal in the US.

I did bet on Mike Pence as VP *last week* at PredictIt. The Trump market was already full and closed.

It's not the act of the wager that is illegal, it's the Electronic Transfer of Funds per the UIGEA.

Some of the more hokey sites will allow it anyway, i read a friend yesterday used Bovada from the states, I believe.

Peter P says

Have you seen Rush Limbaugh and Michael Moore in the same room?

I don't think they would fit.

FP says

Have you seen a room big enough to fit them bioth?

Yes, but there's none with a floor whose tensile strength is great enough.

I guess in America when you say "a ton of people" it means only 5.

Thanks wog, well analyzed, reasoned and stated. What do you think the future hold for your stock and other holdings?

Stocks are overrated it's just a pool of money for Soros and Buffet play games with.

We need to get back to private industry and prudent saving.

People protesting the election of Donald Trump take to the streets of downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday morning.

Democrats drank the kool-aid from Main Slime Media & pollsters.

How stupid do they feel?

YAY! Inflation, that gift to debtors, hated by debt holders. Way too low inflation for way too long. A sign that only a tiny handful is doing well.

Hillary's idea of an economy is selling each other Chinese solar panels, and that just isn't going to work.

This. And being each other's mortgage broker.

That or have an impoverished existence pouring coffee and wiping Babyboomer butts for the rest of your life. No chance of homeownership, no chance of a better life, not even a few days at the Lake once a year. A precarious existence, so landlords and hedge funders can buy more catamarans.

No Industry, no American Dream.

An IT Industry that refuses to hire over 45 guys with 20+ years experience isn't going to hire former 45-year old steel mill workers who managed to get a Network Admin or .net Certificate

zzyzzx is deplorable says

Bullshit. Obama was the great divider. I believe that Trump can get us back to where were were before Obama.

Agreed. I think many will be surprised by a positive outcome of his presidency. Also for those with kids there will be a childcare deduction and general lower taxes for the middle-to-upper class.

zzyzzx is deplorable says

What proposed capital gains tax cuts? IIRC, the capital gains rates are going to stay as they are now.

Capital gains taxes should be lowered and instead mortgage interest deduction canceled. It's ridiculous to crow about cap. gains taxes while supporting such crony bs as mortgage interest deduction. Also healthcare, a main inflation driver will become cheaper if price-fixing is broken up/prosecuted, FDA meddling reduced and competition across state-lines encouraged. We'll see on how much he delivers on draining the swamp. MAGA!

Heraclitusstudent says

Inflation would come BECAUSE tarifs would result in more done in the US and higher wages. Unless we go in stagflation mode, it's no bad for consumers.

It's bad for corporate profits.

And great for Americans who are drowning in record private debt.

Wait until the Trump Energy Policy gets in place. :)

So how high will my rent go? How more priced out will I be for buying?

Imagine the growth in Energy Stocks when the Trump Energy Plan and the Reindustrialization of America begins.

Imagine all the factories that Japan and China are going to outsource to America when the reciprocal tariffs begin. The property taxes industry will pay again, reducing residential property taxes and sales taxes.

Think of the huge increase in employment and good wages when Civil Engineers and Welders and Bricklayers get hired to droves for the rebuilt infrastructure. The increase in SS payroll taxes. The expansion of Social Security benefits and lowered ages, perhaps with a partial 'mandatory IRA" option with capped flat fees (ie Wall Street limited to $1 a month in fees.)

Old folks getting decent dividends from utility stocks and interest payments from Bonds and CDs.

So beautiful.

We're going to get so tired of winning.

I like getting higher wages. It will make it easier to pay for all those made in USA stuff I'm going to buy. Seriously, I have a bunch of old stuff I bought in the 80's that I refuse to replace until I can get a new one made in USA. Both of my cars are made in Michigan, in 1995 and 1999. At least one of them should last me long enough until I can get the made in USA car that I like to replace it.
