  - Anyone holding significant positions in any individual stock in their retirement portfolio....I'm not going to say they deserve what they get... - znufrii Dec 12, 07:18 23
    - "significant" I missed that the first read. I agree :) -- nm - Bacon Dec 12, 07:38
    - I hold individual positions in my 401k. - Eli Dec 12, 07:25 7

    - no one ever said anyone should hold significant positions of anything. Most people here aren't that stupid. - Diva Dec 12, 07:22 12
      - Of course it's absurd, but let's not overstate the impact of a single market move, relative to overall market fundamentals. -- nm - znufrii Dec 12, 07:27 10
        
        the point is, and the reason it's noteworthy is that it shouldn't be happening at all. -- nm - Diva Dec 12, 07:29 9
        
        You'd rather the market be taken by surprise when Trump pulls the plug on the program behind closed doors? -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 12, 07:39 8

        For sure. His rhetoric is for public consumption only, I don't expect it to have much impact on policy. -- nm - znufrii Dec 12, 07:41 2
        
        and this publicly consumed rhetoric just caused a 4 billion dollar loss in market share for a major industrial company. that's not an overstatement. and it shouldn't have happened. -- (edited) - Diva Dec 12, 08:13
