Seoul has JOE on ignore..



I don't know if he has the will power to stay out of this thread.


Anyways what I found interesting about my brief chat with these money market experts is that they didn't seem to know any better than the average person or housewife when the next dip or tise in the stock market will occur. So anyone's guess could be as good as theirs. In which case you can do it yourself and still come out ahead if you're clever enough.



 Regarding th recent dip in the market, all the indicators were there for the past six months that it was becoming increasingly volatile. So given all the gains that were made shortly after Trump became president, that was the time to be invested, and then 6 to 12 month later get out.



Common sense would dictate that it Couldn't last forever.



But irrational exuberance took over some people thinking Trump is the messiah whivh he Wasn't



Actually the market dip may have to do less with trump than a typical cycle in the market.



Longest bull market on record was bound to come to an end sooner or later

I don't know where Dinky Dianna and JOE are invested or have invested, but it's obviously not in stable companies.

The major indices will be higher in ten years. Solid companies with sound fundamentals will see their stocks higher in ten years. Investing is a long term strategy.



But, some people like the two in this thread bet their booze money on garbage on VSE, watch it lose most of it's value within six months which was fake anyway, pull what's left out and then blame the markets for their own stupidity and greed. It's the old adage, a fool and his money are soon parted. And rightfully so.

I notice a lot of Canadians invest in whole indexes instead of individual stocks.

The companies in our conservative mutual funds have real assets.

Asking stupid questions they already know the answers to is a common trait among adult virgins.
