In a sea of black and dark blue, white is probably the most attention-grabbing color you could use.

A really bright yellow would work, too, but most people probably don't have a lot of yellow clothes.

Trump would notice the yellow. :smugdon:

it's important in that it is the top of our top-down economic model and while laborers will never see returns from rising stock prices unless they're very invested, they will definitely be the first ones that get hosed over if those prices suddenly collapse

le pen is big on it and afaik fillon was not completely opposed to the idea but apparently macron is in the overall lead and i think he is opposed to the idea

of course because we live in the worst timeline le pen will win so :shrug:

Every local school district and government is tied into the stock market

Maybe not every but most

Also if you are young and poor 401ks still effect you cause people don't retire if they go bad

i see the dow keeps reaching higher and higher. i thought trumps buffoonery would have a negative effect...

the stock market is political. whenever a liberal worried that trump's policies will destroy the economy pulls out, a conservative convinced that trump's policies will lead to unprecedented wealth and luxury goes all in

due to the way our interest rates are set up right now the stock aggregates like the dow jones will only go up up up, and that'll continue until someone tries to collect money on an investment and finds out that it isn't actually there, and in fact never existed in the first place. then the bubble pops, 90% of the immaterial wealth of the united states vanishes overnight, and we form into wasteland tribes and fight over gasoline stockpiles

yeah, 401k's are useless. it's better to, if you can, store money until you can buy something like land.

edit: useless for the general public, given that they are so connected to the volatility of the market. i know quite a few olds that got turbofucked in 2008/2009 because they were 63 and just about ready to retire. lol, no, get back to work.

I'm a federal employee on TSP. I'm up $3500 so far this year alone. Hopefully there are enough warning signs to go conservative before poo poo crashes and burns so I can keep most of it and then gain big reallocating when the market is low again.

Well hell, Mr. President actually said something about jobs and infrastructure last night. I liked this headline of a story in Vox: "Trump is performing the role of president, not doing the job". That's how I feel; his speech doesn't really match what he's done up to this point. But hey, things are looking up; looks like it'll be Trump vs. Oprah in 2020.

Maybe but it's harder to fake high valuations of student loans like they did for mortgages

Plus now with IBR and associated programs there is a built in pressure release
