jadebullet posted:Actually, way back in the day in the US, when we were trying to figure out who counted as "white" for the purposes of the "white males only" aspect of voting, the Irish were not included in that, and we're actually compared to African Americans, to the point that some lawmaker essentially said that if we aren't letting African Americans count as white, how can we possibly let the Irish count. (Paraphrased, of course) Another reason why Irish and Italians, and it probably extends to Hispanics as well, is that they're Catholics. America's a Christian nation, if you haven't heard, but it has always favored Calvinist Protestant Christianity of the Chosen People and not that mystery religion where you do good deeds to get into Heaven. Even when Kennedy was elected, he had to fight allegations that he was receiving his orders from Vatican City, like all good Papists do.

Is "oh god everything is crashing and burning, we are headed for a second stone age" the other side of the "the market will always go up up up!" coin? Also did he leave people not prepare anyone for this happening, it seems like an obvious result?

So the pound is down like two cents, does this matter to most people? Also I am too lazy to look, but what did the world markets look like the day after 9/11?

corn in the bible posted:you're not reading it right Yeah it's kind of confusingly labeled so idgi, "How many dollars 1E buys" went from 1.5 to 1.35 so I would read that as previously you could get 1.5 for 1 and now you can only get 1.35 for 1 which would mean the euro got weaker but that goes against what I've previously seen so I dunno.

first of all that's the pound sign not the euro sign and second of all if a pound was worth 1.5 dollars and now it's worth 1.3 dollars that means it's worth less, do you get it

Sound posted:Curious what you bought. I moved most of my 401k to cash late last year, seems like this would be a good spot to buy in. A chunk of Barclay ADR, another good chunk into FSRBX (its a US banking sector fund), and then the rest in spatterings of other UK and German ADRs. I'm comfortable losing a ton/all of this though, so don't think I'm giving you advice or anything. I'm being extremely aggressive. Michael Scott posted:Why are you liquidating and playing around with it?? What if the market went up a few percentage points while your savings were liquid? Oh, just for this reason. It's not all of my retirement money or anything like that. I've got a pension, 401k, ROTH, and this traditional IRA. My Trad is where I take all my big risks and this felt like a good one to me. edit: Just noticed you weren't asking me that. Yeah, liquidating an entire 401k and leaving it as cash seems a bit odd. Unless you just rolled it over into an IRA or something. Solice Kirsk fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Jun 27, 2016 |
