You don't want to know what they say about folks like you and me, John. LOL. I think there are a lot of semi-moderate people that are left of center or right of center that really don't like the extreme liberal lurch we've seen in this country and the polarization from the left and the right. It's sickening for most people with common sense to watch. Anyway, I wonder if we're finally seeing the beginning of the correction? It's looking possible. My bonds have been screaming higher as the market has been tanking. It's nice to have called this two years in advance. I feel good. BTW, I sold my IEZ for a VERY small gain. In the end, I chickened out of owning stocks. So I sold it and bought more bonds. I think I just can't buy this market until it is much lower.

I see you have a flair for the dramatic, John. No, I never wanted you to "die off." I was just taken back by your abrupt shift to the Right. I still view myself as a liberal, but more of a laissez faire liberal. And I didn't vote for President in 2012 because I didn't like either candidate. In fact, I don't like any of the candidates now from the leading Dem candidates to Trump. Warren is full of regulation and calling people racists. Sanders wants me to pay $150 per stock trade to fund climate change. Biden is 2020's version of Hillary Clinton, bringing something to the table for everyone and no one. Kamala Harris was a joke of a prosecutor in CA and renegged her support for Medicare for all the moment the insurers objected. Oh, and I don't like Trump's tariffs. Stock market has gone nowhere since tariff 1 was initiated in February 2018. If the purpose was to get China to acquiesce and make a deal, it"s been a big failure. If purpose is to get US companies out of China and build their plants in USA, judgement is still out. But business confidence and spending has waned.
