Count the little dashes between the five year increments, and tell me about where the really steep rise begins. Hint: it looks like there are 20 dashes per five year span ... makes it like four dashes per year. It looks amazingly close to where reality sank in that Obama (along with a bunch of congressional dims) was going to be gone and the GOP had selected a candidate (not another wimp) who might actually put up a fight.

Let's put it this way. It looked a lot better than the crash that happened about the time the reality of Obama and a Dim congress sank in.

I'm not an expert on the Great Recession, however the problem wasn't Obama. If you think the grubby Wall Street fingers learned a lesson from it.. Just wait.

Trust me when I say I probably have less respect for Wall Street than anybody here. The industrial strength "investors" pump it up with the help of the following herd looking to get rich on trends. Then the industrial strength investors pop the bubble by pulling their funds when they see a particularly decisive event. Their money is made on chaos and change ... not on a steady market. But they still look for events that can inflate or deflate public perception as trigger points. There's a lot of opportunity in buying $2 stock that you sold when it was at $30.

No more than usual.
I have correctly predicted 2 things in my time here. 1. UT would have a bad record this year; LouderVol bought me dinner for that.
I also wanted Trump to win because I predicted daily LOLs as he drove you guys ba-nay-nay.
Sadly these are my only predictions bear fruit so far.

You could be right but you can count the Liberals I've voted for before 2018 on one hand (I'm 70 yrs old). I think the total is 4. Probably I'm most liberal for supporting a woman's right to choose and most conservative for supporting 2A. I call myself fiscally conservative and socially more liberal. Therefore a moderate Republican because I've almost always voted for Republican candidates.

The party not being what it once was is the reason I left. Well that and the emergence of Trumpism.

Well, if you voted for Obama TWICE should should add idiot somewhere in your personal description....

I don't mean to interrupt but I predicted a miserable 3-9 season. I was close.
I didn't see us beating Auburn on the road. Lol.....That was where we got lucky & ended up 4-8.

Your understanding of the principle of “ association” is flawed

The accuracy of your linked source’s data is not accurate at all

GM for example repaid its’ loans early and in full

The US Treasury sold the GM stock it received, as a premium to interest in the form of equity, at a profit a few years ago

The only people who didn't get paid back were the GM (original) stock and bond holders, they were left out in the cold.

You have a problem with people being left out in the cold because of bad investments?

Yes, in the case of the bailouts I do. If GM would have been forced to file for bankruptcy like a normal company the stock and bond holders would have at least had a chance at getting some of their money back through liquidation or a buyout. If GM would have been able to come out of bankruptcy they would still have their shares. The bailout robbed them of their legal remedies.

This entire board thinks you weren’t joking And clearly you don’t know how they work otherwise you wouldn’t have made the comment.

What this entire board thinks and what is the truth are vastky different. If everyone wants to continue using that joke against me thats fine. I just get to laugh at whomever does because it makes them look dumb.
