Thanks brother - I probably tend to push a little hard on the politics, but i'm genuinely worried about the future of our democracy. It sounds crazy (maybe even a little paranoid) but I've studied political science and international relations for going on 3 decades (not professionally, more as a hobby), and I dont think any country has ever withstood anything like what we see happening in the US - not without severe and far reaching consequences. Most cases end in total destruction of the country - politically and in many cases literally and physically...
Thanks for the comment @investometrics... Any investment tips for me...?
I'm in South Africa and even the people Here are worried about the US (Trump)..
Zimbabwe to our north just got Rid of Mugabe which is a joy, and we are likely to get our President Zuma out soon also.
We are living in an exciting time, but with a few Highly influential people running the show. Which leads me to my Investment Tip for you ;)
I am not a fan of technical analysis, more fundamentals then I would say I am strong in applying good strategies on the calculated underlying assets.
But what I want to mention about the influence that Humans (certain individuals) have on the overall market is that, even if you are correct in your research it can all go against you due to Unexpected human interference. I will most likely post about some of my economic views in the future, however I fear most people will not agree with me :p
Go well Dr Dave, until the next time :))
I don't know enough about your president to have any kind of informed opinion - that being said, he is a politician so therefore likely a douche just like our "orange clown". There are exceptions to that "rule", but they are few and far between...
I think you're definitely right about cryptos & strategies @investometrics - emotion plays huge part in peoples trading decisions. I would go as far as to say a majority of people are so irrational in their decision making processes, that much of the volatility we see in the markets can be directly attributed to it (emotion)...
Thanks for the comment - much appreciated... :)
