Maybe you should join the PTA. :)

S&P: All-time High

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Yep - but its all banks and energy stocks for the most part. So unless you were on those...your portfolio may not look as great as the all time high message sounds.
And the question remains...will this rally hold? What do you think Logan?

SubOink says

So unless you were on those.

Ticker symbol MASI ... All time high is week ;-) , actually sold some more this weekSubOink says

What do you think Logan?

Breath early on wasn't good here, obviously banks who have been under performing got a lift on theory only. You can make a case that bank margin interest has bottomed

NYSE 52 weeks highs I think running over 500 now, that a high we haven't seen since 2013

All yields are rising together ... Next point line I am looking at on our 10's is over 2.50% now

It's a bit over done short term

As always, economic cycle data matters, when due margins get pressured to the point where top line revenue really needs to kick in.

The big difference between this last cycle and now is that we are running into a stronger demographic patch

This is damning evidence...

Logan says

They will never bring back stated income for wage earners or option arm loans for stated income.. all that is done with.

Strategist says: HA ha ha. Stated income, regardless of credit is already available with 50% down.

Cathay Pacific Bank

This is damning evidence...

Big difference between traditional GSE, FHA, VA loans and then these Non QM loans.

We had access to bank statement loans with 30% down, the ability of people to do these loans are very very small. In fact they were the real 1% of society.

Stated income loans, option arm, 40 year amortization loans have been banned only on getting legal protection ....

We have access to interest only loans, but they're based on the capacity to own the debt on a 20 year amortization payment

These are rich man's loans that very few people can do

In that debate I had on housing finance at the conference... I let the lords of facts shoot down on those who said lending is tight for poor cash flow Americans

We will never forget the horror of loose lending in this country and will fight it to the gates of Hell

Being a Met coal guy, the rise in steel is the most glaring thing I have seen in this recent time

Puny human existing in your little two dimensional world....

you don't sound convinced that it will continue to run...

SubOink says

you don't sound convinced that it will continue to run...

Sold 4,490 shares and have 4,500 left, this stock has done a lot better than I thought.

I am working on a point that I would pull the trigger to buy again.. So far only one chance I had this year and I bought at 37.84

No real pull back outside the start of the year

I do buy a tad each month for the long term portfolio, I could care less where it's at now for that portfolio which Is still 25 years away from being touched

well done - that stock has had a ridiculous run

Did he GRAB HIS DICK?

From the linked article:

“I can’t explain why I did it,” he said.
***
“That was a poor decision that I made …” he said. “In my almost 17 years in government, this is the one mistake I made.”
***
Yenni noted Robert Evans III called him an "admitted child pedophile and open homosexual," which he denied.

“I have never admitted that,” he said. “It doesn’t define me … I’m not gay.”

Good grief. The 2016 election results remind me of Poltergeist II: "They're ba-ack."

Sore losers

What happens to the plane she was flying around in?

Sore losers

They can't even lose right!

Critical thinkers saw a counter before completely reading this.

Testing 1,2,3...

What can't continue won't continue?
When will broke retard D & R voters have enough?
And how bad could it get when millions are pissed?

GOD TRUMP! will save us.

One campaign got more Wall Street money than the other by a significant margin....but stating that must make me a wingnut....

If we all opened our windows and refrigerators in synchrony we could induce climate change favorable to our species...

It should be obvious that the liberals are fudging data becasue they are upset about Trump winning the election. Doesn't the timing of this fake news seem a little suspicious ?

The usual collection of libertards will be here shortly to explain that black is white and obedience is freedom.

Didn't we learn in the 70s and over and over again since then, that chicken little, "the sky is falling," fear mongering is never justified ? (Except perhaps as it pertains to entitlement spending on social security and medicare).

Canadian real estate!

rando says

Canadian real estate!

They say buying only makes sense if you're going to stay in the location for at least 5 years.

3:55 am lol

That fucker is nuts

No wonder he stays sober. Sleep deprivation will fuck you up more than most drugs or even alcohol

Hopefully, this is not just the beginning of madness.

If global warming continues, we're all going to need to move to Canada permanently!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_Desecration_Amendment

Justice William Joseph Brennan, Jr. noted that the "principal function of free speech under our system of government is to invite dispute; it may indeed best serve its high purpose when it induces condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger."

Sounds like Patrick.net!

The 1st only counts for Americans.

If you are desecrating the Flag, then you violating the Rights of Every American.
You have no rights as a Citizen of the US or any of the protection afforded by our great constitution.
Perhaps you Libtarded Shitbirds should consider ramifications before you leap off a building at your professor's request.
Stupid Lemming sons of bitches.

I believe that Trump is wrong here, but let me tell everyone here a little anecdote that might lend a different perspective on the entirety of this debate, in legal terms.

I had a discussion with a well-respected attorney and law school professor who taught constitutional law at Case Western University.

He had told me that, almost without fail, that when he challenged incoming classes on the history of, and then their positions upon, which were nearly 100% in favor of treating THE ACT OF BURNING the American Flag as "constitutionally protected free expression of speech," many reacted with shock & recoiled in horror.

How could this professor of constitutional law, at a relatively liberal law school, not POSSIBLY agree that flag burning should be free of ANY consequences (if even misdemeanor charges), let alone not be legitimized as a legal act of expression?

It was only after they delved into the history of the case law pertaining to flag burning, and reviewing differing opinions of different courts and justices, that some students would start to understand that many justices have opined that the freedom to engage in political speech and criticize the government should extend to SPEECH OR EXPRESSION THAT IS SUBSTANTIVE IN NATURE.

As a famous supreme court justice once wrote, "burning a flag is akin to uttering an inarticulate grunt."

While I still believe, and always have, that there is some political content/substance involved when one sets fire to a symbol, such as a flag, some intelligent people disagree with me.

I would be the 1st one to defend the act of flag burning as a form of political expression, that IS protected under the 1st Amendment.

This is, however, more complex a debate than many assume upon first (or repeated) glance.

What about solutions to Global Warming?

Perhaps we should put this in terms that Tenpound Ass can understand.

Nazi Anti-Flag Desecration Law

The Nazi Anti-Flag Desecration Law was a law passed under the Nazi regime, making it illegal to burn, destroy, or otherwise desecrate the flag.

Banning flag burning is far more indicative of a Nazi supreme state mentality than banning guns.

Oh, and Godwin's Law doesn't apply to acknowledging things the Nazis actually did that were intrinsic to the tyrannical Nazi regime and essential to establishing a totalitarian state, like silencing political and cultural dissent. That's actually a really important lesson to learn from history. Godwin's Law isn't a pact to ignore history and pretend it can never be repeated.

You know what, we should make it mandatory to burn a flag in order to possess a gun. I'd love to see conservatives deal with that choice.

Dan, you should listen and read others' responses before engaging in a string of verbal diarrhea, whereby you repeat the same thing over.

freespeechforever says

"burning a flag is akin to uttering an inarticulate grunt."

It is inarticulate, but if it were of no consequence, then nobody would care. As it is, flag burning stirs up a lot of emotions and has more of an impact than scratching your nuts and grunting. PEOTUS for some reason feels it is important enough for him to be telling the country that it should be banned despite the obvious chilling effect on free speech. You might say that he's been triggered.

On the not so dark side, Trump has been walking back his tough talk on global warming and pulling out of Paris.
