I read the article and it certainly wasn't a great read, but in general I pretty much agree with it. It's a short term problem and people should chill out, imo.

I actually partially agree with you. My point was simply highlighting how truly terrible US media is
Imagine that article if Trump was still POTUS.
How do you think the Washington Post and CNN would report the White House saying for 5 months that price increases and empty shelves are temporary and anyways they are actually a good thing! 🙂 🙌 ?
PS: also imagine that the White House had been hiding for 2 months that Trump’s secretary of transportation had been on leave and was going to return to leave. 🤷♂️
Articles like this give US media 0 veracity. Might as well be a DNC press release.
No wonder Dean thinks he is a big time journo.

Eh, it was an opinion piece. That's what that section is for...either running defense for your guy or going on the offense against their guy. I don't really take major media outlets very seriously... especially their opinion pages, so I can't get too fired up about it...if Trump was President right now, he'd be getting the action too.

@God is a Husker How about this for perspective: At its peak, Enron had a total market cap of about $70 billion, so Alibaba has lost about five Enrons.

Alibaba Has Lost $344 Billion in World's Biggest Wipeout
(Bloomberg) -- Few people could have predicted the downward spiral for Alibaba Group Holding, when founder Jack Ma delivered a blunt criticism of China’s financial system last October. Most Read from BloombergCities' Answer to Sprawl? Go Wild.Hamburg Is at the Heart of Germany’s Growing Dilemma...

Alibaba is also a great lesson that it doesn’t matter who you are, if you live in China and the Party wants you to disappear… you gone.

Big reason why I don't like international investing. I'm very selective if I ever go international. Frankly I'll use an active manager because they are worth it.
The last 15 ish years all international investing has done is increase volatility without the appropriate return.

India is the same way.
We know some Indians (not relatives) that have made millions on what can only be described as insider trading.
Ive talked about my FIL’s former sketchy Indian investing before but tons of Indians still do it and don’t understand/care that it’s almost certainly illegal. Like a savings account that has a 25-50% guaranteed interest rate… like bruh best case the Mumbai mafia owns the bank and is washing money or worst case it’s a Ponzi scheme.

Mrs. LHR has Fox Business on 24x7x365. Varney just dropped the Democratic "talking points" (they're calling it a platform as there's no actual language behind it ... yet), and it's 1.7 Trillion dollars over a 10 year period. $400B to beef up the IRS - OMFG - and another $500B+ for green energy initiatives. They've tossed in some child care and hearing benefit coverage within Medicare to try to get the soccer moms and AARP crowd on board, but holy mother of Titleist golf balls, that's a lotta money.

1 trillion seconds is 31,710 years
Everybody should know that before they say "x trillion dollars isn't a lot of money "

I bought at $4. Trimmed at about $12 and just letting the profits run.
I really like the new CEO.

I think I’m gonna hold my Ford and US Steel (and NMG) until they pass whatever Frankenstein bill they are gonna pass. I feel like at a minimum 1 or 2 of those positions will rise due to the spending.
(Also still long on Nelnet for ultra safe, I’m not even gonna think about selling that until 2022 after the Dems finally announce what they will/won’t do regarding student loans)
