  • I'm hoping to be spending money that's currently invested today when the US has its 53rd President and Trump & Biden will be long departed. What the markets did or what someone thought they'd do on the 9th November 2020 will be an irrelevance. Did Trump eventually concede with the good grace and humility that nobody thought he had - nobody will care.

    24 hour news and Twitter are tools which reduce people's long term gains.
    I don't think most of us really want to wait a minimum of 28 years and a maximum of 56 years 
    There will be young 'uns invested today who won't be spending the money for another five decades or so. Unless the 46th President does something particularly crazy or wondrous the effect on anyone's wealth in 50 years time will be negligible.

    His policy on climate change may well impact on the wealth of those in 50 years.

    Sure but in four years time his policy might be reversed in the same way as he's going to reverse a load of Trump policies. Time dilutes.

    Very true, but at some point it will need to stick.

    The counter argument is - a lot of initiatives are driven by state governments and local policies, in clean energy, electric cars. If presidents’ policies are so important, we wouldn’t have Tesla by now. Look at how tech was booming in California without any support from trump. Same in Europe - they are trying to push clean energy from the top, but they don’t have a Tesla of their own.

    Trump has won, he knew Biden was going to scam his way to victory so Trump along with the CIA watermarked all the postal votes which can only be seen under a special light. So the fake votes Biden has sent in will be found out. He even paid off the U.S postal service to help him with the scam. It's all going to come out soon, watch this space!

    Can't wait to repost all these comments once it's all revealed. Then you can apologise.
    The streets don't forget man. I will make sure to remind you of these regularly when the result is finalised.
  • Out of interest when are we expecting Trump to drop this avalanche of evidence, just so I can mark it in my calendar?

    In the morning on 1st April would seem appropriate.... ;)
