PM me when they hit bottom

Same.

My point is that some here are saying it now the time to buy, but the bottom keeps getting lower and lower. 

Tesla is below what "experts" say was their rock bottom.  Elon is asking everyone not to sell.  Please help a billionaire out (not).

This stock market thing is getting out of hand and someone's gonna get hurt, paraphrasing from Red October.

I guess this is also bad?  Asking for a friend…

“We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods — as we have successfully done with many other trading partners — because Europe is always ready for a good deal, so we keep it on the table.”

Bruh. Don't miss the point. The point of these tariffs isn't ultimately to bring our friends and allies to the bargaining table to ensure Americans get fair deals, m'kay. They are being imposed solely for the purpose of increasing the cost of living in America...because. At least that's what Hakeem Jeffries would have me believe if I thought he had a single brain cell in his noggin.

Maybe we would know the reason behind the tariffs if the admin would pick one from their ever-growing laundry list of disjointed grievances and good idea fairies..

Tariffs are solely negotiating tool to get Canada and Mexico to crack down on border policy..

oh wait no it’s actually a negotiating tool to get other countries to reduce their tariffs on us..

oh wait no actually those countries don’t even have tariffs on us in many cases, it’s to remedy trade deficits which are a ripoff somehow..

oh wait no it’s actually that tariffs are a good thing and will literally make us rich..

oh wait no it’s actually to nerf trade so we bring back manufacturing..

oh wait no it’s actually to deliberately crash the economy to refinance our debt at a lower interest rate..

Who would have known they had so many uses!

It’s a good thing this clown is using emergency power for such an imminent threat since the other party controls both chambers of Congress and he couldn’t possibly pass legislation regarding a massive tax increase.

Turns out that even when you reduce your tariffs to 0, the current US is so unpredictable that that is not enough. There is literally no proof that what you said will mean anything - just as your Vietnam point was pointless.

If it’s about deficits, there’s nothing we can do but enjoy the depression.

Kind of like how you said there wasn’t any mention on FoxNews the other day when the market took a big hit and yet you were clearly wrong.

Here’s a question for you:  Can a person who is born a boy become a girl?

When I posted it, it was correct. Go ahead and prove that their first story on it wasn’t at 10 PM.

To your question, are you trying to tell us something about yourself? Or do you just sit at home and fume about people’s genitalia in your free time?

The talk radio mind rot gotchu bad bb.

I literally went to their website after your post and showed you that you were wrong. 

So you can’t answer the question:  Can a person who is born a boy become a girl?  Why should we take anything you say seriously when you can’t answer a simple yes or no question?

It's just a test to see if you are willing to lie to support your party. 

 

A Republican version of this test might be: "Do you believe Donald Trump knew he was keeping Classified documents that he wasn't supposed to have."

 

Avoiding the question isn't exactly failing the test, but it is a warning sign.

Also I’m not a democrat, what is “my party” you speak of?

Because the political discussions here don't matter. They are mostly people who enjoy the pursuit of knowledge and the mental exercise of defending and dissecting ideas. Civility is maintained through the shared experience of military service and the occasional necessary banning. 

 

It's not worth engaging with someone in that context who isn't going to converse honestly. The goal is to be right, not to win. What you do when your point is defeated is very different between those opposing goals.
