Teacher? Spend your time grading, managing the classroom, forcing kids to pay attention

That is literally exactly what the job is known for?

What I meant is what the core role of the job is. Like for a teacher, it would be to teach. For an engineer, it'd be to design. For a performer, it'd be to perform.

TC's name doesn't match post. You'd flunk econ 101 for even thinking that the stock market, let alone just the Dow, represents any economic health. I know this is an obvious troll topic but I'll explain anyway. The huge and steady rise in the stock market since the recession was not a good thing. Normal stock market behavior is volatile, since there are many factors at play and other investments diverting money out of stocks. The only real improvement we've seen in the economy under Obama's term was the unemployment rate, and that's not the same as economic growth, which has not been great. Interest rates were horrifyingly low for for almost a decade, while the Fed engaged in quantitative easing (buying government debt) in order to fight deflation. If you think prices going up is bad, try having your money literally disappear into thin air.

Historically, during bull markets when stocks are expensive, the investment strategy would be to rebalance your portfolio to favor bonds since they are usually high yield during that time, and during bear markets you would start buying stocks again at a discount. The past few years have been fairly unprecedented in that bond yields AND stocks were a poor value. But stocks won nonetheless since they were in a bubble and had superior annual returns, plus you can collect dividend payments on them, while bond interest was so low it was beaten out by inflation, which itself already low. The interest rate goes up when the fed raises it to fight inflation. Inflation goes up when wages go up the economy grows at a fair pace, usually around 3%. For Obama's presidency, it has not broken 2%. Wages go up when jobs outnumber workers, and jobs are created when companies have money to do so.

Now that the economy is flourishing in every respect imaginable, interest rates are rising again, and investors are responding by turning their equity into cash while it's still high in anticipation for the returning bond market later this year. Investment options are opening up, wages are going up, companies are coming back to the U.S., and we're finally ready to take the training wheels off and end the age of borrowing which would have taken us into a premature recession within 3 years if everything had stayed the same. Now it could be almost 10 years before we have another recession. And it's all due to the tax cuts. You're welcome.

this post is so hilariously dumb and inaccurate i'd say it was hard to believe if i wasn't on CE

Solid rebuttal.

Well we already know that post is a load of crap. The economy is "flourishing" now since we have tax cuts?

They changed the cleaning schedule of the bathrooms so that the men's bathroom is cleaned after lunch instead of the women's. (This means you can't go inside).

I was like....hey it's fine, they used to always shut down the women's bathroom. Now they're alternating.

They gave me like the dirtiest look. What did I do man

I've been lazy with buying mutual funds with my HSA/401k, but honestly I think this is the actual fucking market crash we've been expecting for years so maybe I'll just sit out with cash.

Still maxing out my retirements, just leaving new contributions in money market accounts.

There's no good trigger though. Everything I've read about the matter says the drop is from a good jobs report and fear interest rates will hike up to lower inflation.

fwiw the technician voodoo artists are all saying friday should be the start of a rally

i am thinking i will deliberately ignore markets for at least a month so i dont have to watch them/me be wrong

I'm kinda tempted to buy more because my tax refund is coming soon. Still think the drop is kinda stupid.

I took out 5 grand to buy more VOO Tuesday. Feels bad man

i think you made a good call

esp if you bought at the open

my market orders at the open are still up a good bit

really don't think we're in a bear market, and if we are not, it shouldnt correct too much more

i am prepared for however much volatility it takes though

It was at 242 so it's pretty much the same as it is now. I'm sure it will go back up, but it looks like this correction is going to last a while.

I just see a word that means humanity. I never really scrutinized words for how they were spelled.

Then again, I've never been so upset at nothing that I have to literally look at letters to find something to be offended about.

I agree that it''s a really minor thing, but it's clearly sexist. If you don't care, you shouldn't care if this minor thing is corrected.

Instead we got a 100 post topic about it.

Why does this make people so mad?

You don't think our language can be sexist? Because it is.

I find it funny more than anything, because it changes nothing. Temporarily hurt feelings are healed.

But Canada was still fought for and founded by men. Just like the roads you drive on are built by men supporting their families.

What does that have to do with anything? Can you not see how it's unfair that one sex's name represents all of humanity?
