I have been in this position before. In 2007 I knew we were heading for an economic collapse. Very few americans saw that coming. No one believed me. I Protected my retirement savings. How about you? Not
What is happening now is worse. Donald Trump is NOT a president. Let me repeat that, Trump is not a president. This is a complete fucking lie. Right now America does not have a president. Everyone is acting like trump is a very bad president or a very good president. Wrong. What a bunch of fucking fools the american people have become. The news media are a bunch of fools.
Go ahead and trash me, i don't care. Tell me I'm wrong when we all get are ass kicked when this fucking lie takes hold. Sorry, but I have had enough of this bullshit. What I just said is the truth. The american people have become fools.

There are still some few of us who see what's what, including just about everyone on Democratic Underground. Your anger is understandable, and as I have said several times lately, if I could afford it I'd get out. There are still some civilized countries left. It's not mandatory to stick around and be offended by fools.

(21,141 posts)Business buying a home with no money down. I sold a mutual fund I owned and turned my IRA into all cash except for a zero coupon muni bond that I held for many years. I still have that cash and am now thinking of selling that zero coupon.
I would like to buy a new car but I am not willing to take a loan out now. I inherited a house that needs a lot of work and I am nervous about taking out a loan now to improve it because the economy could crash under thumpenstein and his greedy GOP banksters. It's a catch 22 situation for me. I'm also thinking of selling but i wanted to convert it into a duplex and have retirement income. Now I am frozen and scared to do anything.

A small group of voters and the electoral college elected him

(4,379 posts)I went to a financial advisor for the first time in my life. I told him the economy was going to blow up. He perked right up. He listened to what I had to say. He agreed we were doing things wrong but he did not believe the economy would blow up. I told him he was wrong.
I asked him where could I move my money so it could survive a economic collapse. He had no answer. The next day he called me about an account that was to good to be true. I told him its accounts like that have led to economic collapse. I took it. I have done well.
