Trump says countries have been calling him all day to try and make deals, says the tariffs are a great negotiating tool.

When I was younger, I stayed away from the markets in times like this, having taken to heart the advice to never attempt to catch a falling knife.

Afterwards, every time I did the math, I found that had I entered the market at its peak before the crash, kept buying, and rode it all the way down, and then all the way back up to the current day, buying all the way I would have made a killing.

I'm feeling mighty tempted to try to catch this falling knife.

Obama's all so weak and old and shaky already and starting with the ol 'let me be clear'. This is pretty sad.

Nah, fuck that nigger. He helped get us here. Especially with the racial divide.

Time in the market beats timing the market. You might get lucky and enter at the right time. Or you can get in slow and low.

I'd wait until late Monday, it's either going to crash hard or rebound I think on the start. This is the most unpredictable market I've seen since 2007

I have 40k in my checking should I buy an index fund?

There's several stocks that trade directly with the index, do those instead because they're cheaper to manage.
Not with all of your money of course, do like 6k a year.
S&P 500 raises on average 10% every year, 6k a year with that rate is around 800k in 29 years, add the average rate of inflation which is around 2.5% as well and that's a million dollars in 29 years, and if you do it with a Roth IRA you won't have to pay taxes when you go to claim it.

Smedly Butlers War is a Racket (link to PDF of the second highest decorated US marine of all time, read it) opened my eyes and broke my heart at the same time.

Saw the effects of our modern overseas war system take its toll on my own people and for what

How many of us are actually safer at night because of the bombs dropped on a place you cant even point to on a map?

I dont mean to doom, I just care about our people that bear our arms so greatly and I feel we have as deep and obligation to them as they do to us, how dare we send them into these fights without any defined goals other than "fuck em up"

"It is unworthy of a great state to fight in something which does not concern it own interest. Gentlemen, show me and objective worthy of war, and I will go along with you. It is easy enough for the statesman (or forum poster) to ride the popular wave from the comfort of his own fireside, making thunderous speeches (posts) from the rostrum, letting the public sound the trumpets of war, and leaving it to the musketeer, bleeding out his life's blood in the snowy wastes to settle whether polices end in glory, or in failure. Nothing is simpler. But, woe to any statesman, who, at such a time, fails to find a cause of war, which will stand up to the scrutiny, once the fighting is over."

-Otto Von Bismark, Iron Chancellor

There's nothing stopping America from firebombing Yemen city-by-city village-by-village or from poisoning their food and water supplies to make the land itself wholely inhospitable.

Yes there is: it's our elections every 2 years. You go Sherman's March to the sea in yemen and you're opening us up to an influx of retarded arabs when the socio-political pendulum swings back to bleeding heart liberalism. Even the Jews in Gaza have a hard time doing what is their God given right because of other jews. the future after the genocide will be paid back 100x worse than just bombing them like we have now.

God knows lol. Get a money market Jumbo fund if not already I'd say, hard to lose now on that but won't pay that much. Jumbo money markets are almost as liquid as anything else, and I'd be liquid as much as possible now.

ETA NM, Jumbos jumped to over 100k min it looks now, fuck

Damn that sucks, I remember when 40k was enough.

A basic level money market account is usually still a 'safe haven' for 10k+, but it's all a mess.

Yes I understand consequences thank you. This isn't really relevant to the point I was making that in the immediate sense, we could if we wanted to.
