    If he’s allowed to be political in work meetings you are allowed to tell him he is wrong and offer to teach him in front of everybody

    Ya know, since there is pretty much nothing I can do about it anyway, I’ll just see where this shitwave is taking us and hope to the heavens all I know about economics is wrong.

      70-80% of my portfolio is in relatively safe stock.

      So 20- 30% of my shit is fucked right now. I just hope the tariffs landing Saturday don’t affect the other 70-80%.

        I dread what my retirements savings must look like, and I don’t have many years to make it back, but at this point, all you can really do is keep feeding it in for that precious cost averaging, and don’t look for 4 years in the hope of there being a rebound

        Oh yeah I lost big the last couple of days, tech stocks. Here’s hoping Trump’s term will be so bad, everyone will be like ‘AI can’t possibly do worse than this, let’s give it a go’. I’ll be rich. But most likely it’ll all be worth nothing. Speculating is fun.
