Advice to prep for 4 years of GOP rule

Postby coindood » Thu Nov 07, 2024 10:34 pm

I think many here, me included, are ecstatic about the election results. What are the best ways to use this new GOP majority to our advantage?

Make Ron Paul the Treasury Secretary and eliminate the Fed through his wise and common sensical leadership. (Ain't going to happen because power hogs never move away from the trough, but it's necessary.)

Gold and silver should drop if the world avoids wars like the last Trump presidency.

You'd think, at least if war was the only driver. However the perpetual deficit spending by everyone, may be the primary driver.

Become a corporate oligarch.

Generally a great way to hedge your bets in the American duopoly. No matter which party is in power, you'll likely make a killing.

I don't think becoming a billionaire in order to become a larger billionaire is a strategy. I would be happy being just a basic billionaire, if you can make that happen...

I'm making hay while the sun shines. You saw what their plan was for us when they thought they had total power.

When there is no effective press, your tax dollars are spent for indoctrination and gender reassignment surgery and to drop bombs on non-combatants, why stay in the US?

Assuming you can buy at a reasonable price (when it comes public), I’d seriously consider buying stock in Space-Ex, owned by Elon Musk.

Just don’t drink so much koolaid that you become drunk and do anything.

For those who don’t know much about the stock market, I’d be studying my backside off and absolutely licking my chops right now. That is absolutely NOT A GUARANTEE!

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

I am forced to say that I find it beyond disgraceful that he is our president again. Convicted felon and insults our troops. Disgusting. U.S. integrity has been officially destroyed.

That said, I currently have no tips on how to leverage a garbage president for my own personal gain. I will just continue to work and learn from my fellow savers.

If you can separate your personal feelings from what is out there available for the masses, you can potentially do better.
Example: I bet on 5 of the various Trump stocks (DJT, DJTWW, DWAC, DWACW and DWACU) a total of 28 times since 2021. I bet on them to go both up and down as people clearly get way too optimistic AND pessimistic about the various Trump stocks.

Total results of the 28 trades:

$31k in profits
$3k in losses
$28k in net profits (about $1k per trade)

Not trying to brag- those are facts.

And that is in spite of being offended by many things he’s said and done.

Well, rather than waste my time rebutting this, I'll just say that in a perverse way I appreciate knowing how people feel so that I can gage how much attention to give them going forward.

A conviction in NY is a badge of honor. No other state would have allowed that silly woman to bring such an obviously contrived complaint, much less hear it in a courtroom.
