Dow Jones down 2500 the last 5 days because of Ukraine. Thank God we have a real leader in the White House not that awful Donald Trump. LOL
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

the dow recovered and the SP500 went up nicely ... go figure

I was poised to sell gold but it yawned too [compared to what I expected]

now I do think oil and gold will go up a lot, and really, stocks down more

Biden has zilch to do with the market going down due to Putin's maniacal aggression; if you can prove your point please lay it out, otherwise muzzle yourself.

Putin is taking advantage of Biden's weakness. You people voted for a guy who is a disaster all because you hated mean tweets.
The President is a fink.

The market has been falling since January, due to the Fed cutting its bond purchases in half and saying there will be interest rate hikes to fight inflation.

Inflation they caused.

The end of cheap money. Probably not.

The war has accelerated the decline.

Trump taking top secret documents to Mar-A-Largo, is the guy you want dealing with Putin. He liked their intelligence so much he probably would be taking their advice now.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I have a feeling our righties have not heard about that story, as right wing media did not mention it much.

Is Trump not good at multi-tasking? Assuming you are right, is it really too much to ask that he be good on foreign policy while not simultaneously being a total @$$40!3?

There is nobody to blame for Trump's loss but Trump himself and his most rabid supporters; they are almost as insufferable as the Far Left.
