financial health of my fellow progressives. I will say something.
When you are laughing at the misfortunes of others, including some of your fellow DU progressives, I am going to react angrily.
I won't ask what you do with your money again. But since you are advising others what to not do with their money, it seemed fair to ask, at long last what you do with your money and what you think we should do instead with our money if not the equity markets. But OK. Just to be clear again - I will not ask you again what you do with your money.
In your previous post,
I don't even know how long I've been posting the daily Stock Market Watch thread. It's been a long time. Except for a few days several years ago when I went on a vacation and someone else took it over in my absence, I haven't missed but one single day when there was an internet glitch and I couldn't post. I've posted from cheap motels where the wifi went in and out. I've posted on other vacations. I've posted through some pretty major personal crises (including deaths of family members) that I don't even bother to mention here. But it's my choice, and I can choose to stop, too.
I appreciate the Stock Market Watch postings and the work you do to post them, thank you very much.
As for why you post Stock Market Watch, I've gotten the impression over the years that you are waiting for the BIG drop so you can laugh ha ha ha ha ha and pat yourself on the back for being right all along.
(e.g. the big "ha! followed by the 54 ROFL posts

https://www.democraticunderground.com/111625250#post65 and #66 "Your sentiments are MOST welcome here!" (as if you speak for the group or even the threads' participants ).
https://www.democraticunderground.com/111694222#post3 All this brings me back to my original question from umpteen years ago that ended up putting me into the Stock Market Watch posts to begin with.
Does it really matter all that much to the grand scheme of things what happens to The Markets?
... And if the markets decline, it hurts the 401K folks, but didn't they all go into that with full knowledge that it's always a gamble? I mean, come on, we've been watching this since 2008 at least -- and some of us go back to '87 -- so at what point do we just say enough is enough and let it drop back into the realm of reality?
https://www.democraticunderground.com/111693598 Some of us saw all this coming long ago. I've never backed down from my 2008 rant about Obama's transition team. I still believe there was much that happened in those two months that led us to where we are today. But only time will really tell.
Cartoons or not, I'm here for the duration. I think it will be . . . interesting.
