Hi Scott, this was our friend Tradermike_1999’s starting message for the thread
<<… I believe that there are danger signs in the US economy and financial markets that are signaling a serious financial meltdown to take place next year ... This would mean a US recession and another sharp stock market downturn. I'm starting this thread to discuss this possibility and how we should manage our investments differently>>
We have, more rather than less, been on topic. There are many issues we on this thread do not agree on, but we have conscientiously tried to protect those who express different views, and certainly have collectively tolerated the sometimes sharply different ways in which we express our views. We have entertained each other and hopefully prevented each other from buying the dips, only to sell at subsequently lower dips, and we will signal each other when we feel it is time to stop ‘not buying’ for ourselves. We all have gotten out of this thread what we are looking for, and put into this thread what we are willing, by definition.
We have, however, adapted to the dreary, depressing, and demoralizing nature of the thread topic by interspersing our discussion with what happiness and chugs we wish to share with those who are interested in sharing, across borders and time zones.
Chugs, Jay |
