Joe XIden and the stock market

Right now my stocks over at Robbing Hood are worth a little over 3 times what I paid for them.
I could just have them transferred to my broker at the bank and just ride the slide and hop for the best.

OR

I could sell all but Tesla and Workhorse and pay the Xiden taxes next year.

I'm really leaning towards selling before 0bama 2.0 bottoms the stock market out.

-But the stock market doesn't really reflect the economy- *insert eye roll smiley here*

We lived through 12 years of the Lightbringer and we can only hope the Communists are just as incompitant of ruining Americas as they were from 2008 to 2010.

My Navy enlistment story

 

When I went shopping at recruiters- I already knew I wasn't Gung-Ho enough to be a Marine.

 

Army- We can get you anything you want in Combat arms- and a HUGE signing bonus.

Me- What about the Corp of Engineers?

Army- HUGE signing bonus- Combat arms!

Me- Ummmm, no...........

 

Air Force- (this was early 80's) Basic training DORMS!!!!!

Me- What about Red Horse?

AF- DORMS! Look at what they put you in in the Army and Marines-> shows pics of WWII barracks<- and they have A/C!

Me- What about Red Horse?

AF- Dorms!!!one!!!!

 

Navy-

Me- I want to be a Builder.

Navy- a what?

Me- Builder, a SeaBee. My grandfather was one in WWII.

Navy- Ohhhhh.............

Here, take this sample ASVAB and see what you can do.

(This was about 2 years after I graduated as a mediocre student because I didn't apply myself)

Me- Here ya go.

Navy- Lets get you scheduled to go to Chicago for MEPS and take the real one.

Me- But........ I'm not sure about enlisting right now.

Navy- You're not obligated to anything, the real test will let us officially offer you jobs.

Me- >bus ride down to Chi-town and then a crappy hotel before being woken for the bus ride to MEPS and a. LOT. of. waiting. then bus ride back<

Navy- Good news. you got an 87 and we can offer you a lot of jobs.

Your choice- Nuke, Radar Direction Finder (GM+) some kind of Airedale or CE.

Me- But I want to be a Builder.

Navy- Dude, you scored too high, there's a lot of openings for CE and better advancement. Besides, they're still Seabees.

Me- Okay >did the MEPS thing again and off to Great Mistakes in a MLB sponsored company<

Missed the Monday Sweet spot, didn't I?

 Because I was driving to Wetherford to pick up a sacrificial ATV to be used as a band saw prime mover.

Too bad it's the last of them....

Sorry Gregory, it's as big as I could make it.

 We were taught to use a hasty sling and keep our elbows close to our ribs to minimize joint movement.
But holding the rifle as far forward as you can make it look all tacticool and shit....

So,,,The stock market isn't going to wait for Jan. 20?

Before it starts the fall from the Trump economy.

Or, maybe it's a delayed reaction to the Harris/Biden election results?

It's really kind of sad that the opposing troops in WW1 had more in common with each other than Conservatives and Leftist today...
