Well for openers I’m trading dated options.
Gambling?
You should be grateful the President is softening the effects by giving you a heads up on what is coming.
Options are a gamble and for everyone who gets burned buying an option, there is someone else who made a profit selling it. No matter what, you won't win every time and that's a risk you take.
Fortunately for you, there will be an opportunity to recoup some losses as we come out of this war.
Trump is a disruptor, and that brings pain in the short term for some people. No pain, no gain, as they say. Tariffs hurt, a little, but the long term gain is undeniable. We have a $39T debt because our Congress cant bring themselves to cut anything, because the cuts could cause pain for some people.
Trump, as a businessman, sees the necessity of action and isn't paralyzed by the fear of upsetting people because of something as trivial (in the grand scheme of things) as upsetting option traders.

No he's not. If he was, he would not announce it. He would tell his friends, but nobody else, and then sign the deal.
He is using public announcements to pressure the Iranians. Not only does the leadership know what's gonna happen if they don't agree to terms, but the families of the leadership, their friends, and the entire population knows. That is a lot of people bringing pressure to bear on the Iranian leadership - many of whom aren't that secure in their own leadership, since their boss and their bosses boss are dead.

the continued nonsense that Trump keeps posting saying a deal is done, near, etc etc is where we diverge. The continued market suppression and the curiously timed trades around such will only make things worse in the long run.
That's who he is. He talks. He says what he's thinking. He's not going to stop because your stock price changes for a couple of days. The market goes up and then it goes down. Guess what? If it goes down today, it'll be right back up tomorrow, or the day after.
How does it make it worse? Unless you're planning on selling right now, the stock price is going to be what it's going to be in a month, 6 months, a year. You act like it's making a huge difference to your bottom line.

The short term market profits should not be the primary driving force for decisions.

Fine, I’ll continue to buy oil, you continue to buy the broad market. Let’s see how this plays out.
Where do you think oil would be if we had President Harris? Gotta use/drill less because of Climate change. How would that work out? I prefer drill, baby, drill, don't you?
What about the border? Do you think it would be shut down?
Trade deficits - lower or higher?
Epstein files? More of what Biden did? What Epstein files?
Trump has done a hell of a lot, including take down the Ayotollah - something that should have been done a long time ago. As long as Iran is a rogue Nation, there will never be peace in the middle east, and we'll never have a 2 state solution. We don't know what comes next, but you can bet that a deranged Iran will be less influential and the next leader won't waste their time getting enriched uranium.

What constitutes a "stolen election"?
People voting illegally? Easy enough to do when millions of mail-in ballots are sent out and ballot boxes drop boxes are set up all over the place.
Impeaching your election opponent right before the election?
Creating false narratives and pushing them out to a willing press? Things like accusing your opponent of not pay taxes for year? It worked, didn't it?
Weaponize the legal system by prosecuting your opponent for a variety of offenses that occurred years/decades ago, but you just thought to bring them up 8 months before the election? The biggest challange is keeping a straight face when you say that it is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that you nail this bastard right before the election - on charges that he over valued his real estate in order to get a loan that he paid back in full.

We don't really know, at this point. It will probably make life worse for people in certain fields or people who can't/won't adjust.
We are at a point where our working population is decreasing, due to aging out and reduction in illegal aliens. AI can help take some of the stress off of that reduction in force.

We don't need to have people in office that follow and support the law, rather than to support a political agenda aimed at building up people based on their identity.

There is always going to be these types of issues. Whether it's a new mall, power plant, shopping center, warehouse, manufacturing facility, housing development, bar, etc. People want the empty lot behind their house to stay empty and never be built on.
I sympathize with these folks, for sure, but what do we propose to do? Stop all progress? I am looking to buy a house, but you can be damn sure I'm going to be very carful about where I build. Not just about what is behind my potential house, but I will also look at the potential traffic from future construction in the area.

I see threads where people are complaining about the noise and the lights at night. Sounds pretty bad until you realize its all from the construction of the data center not the actual data center .
re: Anyone ever been to Cannon Beach, Oregon?
Posted by Jax-Tiger on 4/17/26 at 2:23 pm to Celtic Tiger
All good recommendations.
I lived in Beaverton for 7 years and only stayed overnight in Cannon Beach once. We stayed in an Air BnB across the street from the beach, near Haystack Rock. I can't remember the name, but i remember it was near the "Screw and Brew", which is a combination hardware store and tap room. It is very close to the Pelican Brewing facility in Cannon Beach.
Pelican Brewing in Cannon Beach is an excellent place for a meal, although it is a little south of the "downtown" area. I would recommend the Pelican Brewing in Pacific City, which 1/2 hour south of Tillamook. The views alone are worth stopping there, but the food is also very good. If you go through Tillamook, stop at the Tillamook Cheese Factory and take the tour. The fresh ice cream there is outstanding, and you get to see how cheese is made - with free samples. It's first class.

re: What is the best/cheapest way to book a hotel?
Posted by Jax-Tiger on 4/16/26 at 3:05 pm to Snoop Dawg
Nobody has mentioned this so far, but Hotwire.com has "Hot" deals that are often very good. The catch is that you don't know which hotel you're getting. You only know how many stars the hotel gets, and the area of town that it is located in.
Having said that, you can figure out which hotel you are getting by comparing the number of reviews and rating with all of the hotels listed without the hot rate.
For example, if you see a 3-star hot rate hotel with 567 reviews and an 8.1 average score, you go look for a hotel price without a hot rate that has 3 stars, 567 reviews with an average score of 8.1. That will be the hotel you will get with the hot rate.
The regular rate may be $200/night, but the hot rate could be $140. Same hotel. One downside is that cancellation policies suck.

Okay, it wasn't last week, it was yesterday. I bought 10 5/26 $40c for $3.10. I sold them today for $7.50.

Trump has to walk a fine line in order to get anything accomplished. Unfortunately, this necessitates him having to remain friendly with some folks that probably don't share his vision for America, but he needs their cooperation.
Bingo. There are a lot of Republicans who would privately celebrate if Trump were assassinated, because he is thorn in their side.
Example of folks supporting something only because they have to: does anybody doubt that there are politicians tearing Eric Swalwell apart while at the same time hoping that they are not next to go down because they've done the same, or worse?
How many Republicans talk about reducing the size of the government, but vote to increase it EVERY damn time?
I bought some 5/26 $40c last week and have almost doubled my money. Today has been real good, so far... Nowhere close to offsetting my losses from that dog, NBIS...

For a long time now, my politics has been influenced heavily by a mistrust of government. I've been a supporter of the "burn it all down and start over" philosophy, as I see us slowly sliding into depravity and Idiocracy seems more and more likely to where we are headed.
This past year has done nothing to change my views, as all of the waste and fraud that we saw with DOGE and how the status quo defended the indefensible. Is anybody surprised by all the waste and fraud we found in MN? Will anybody be surprised by how much waste and fraud we find in CA? or NY, or any of the 58 states?
I have always supported releasing the Epstein files, but realized that it is just being politicized, as well. Now we have Eric Swalwell, who apparently has done some things that were so bad, that he is being forced to resign. However, I have no doubts that he will never serve jail time, as I'm sure that was part of his deal to resign and NOT expose what he knows about other Congressmen. Again, Swalwell is not the issue. It's the fact that he will be protected, because the powers that be cannot allow the first domino to topple.
The whole point of this is that Washington, DC is a cesspool of corruption, and bribes and blackmail are the grease that keeps it running. We have two cults in charge and we are being forced to choose between the two if we want to participate in our governance.
Our government has run for years with the main issues being abortion, border reform, the deficit, LGBT issues, and the economy. It is becoming increasingly obvious that while we have been distracted and emotionally triggered by those issues, our bureaucrats in DC (elected and unelected) have continued to consolidate wealth and power using our tax money. The needle never moves on the above mentioned issues because they are not meant to be solved. They are just the distraction to keep us from noticing the corruption, waste, and fraud. And in the case of Swalwell, the sexual depravity.
A lot of people hate Donald Trump because he is a disrupter. He sees problems in the government and he does what he can to solve them and doesn't care how many powerful people he pisses off or how many gravy trains he cuts off. I hope his influence continues long after he is gone, because whether you like his style or not, he is shining the light on a lot issues that are never talked about in the media or the halls of Congress.
