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
  - To note. I have about 35% in individual stocks, and the rest in ETFs so I consider that pretty divested. -- nm - Bacon Dec 12, 07:30
  - How big is your largest position, as a percentage of your overall retirement assets? - znufrii Dec 12, 07:30 3
    - I posted above -- nm - Bacon Dec 12, 07:30 2
      - Amazon is my biggest about 14% total -- nm - Bacon Dec 12, 07:31 1

    - You should all be investing in Papa John's -- nm - Manning #2 Dec 12, 07:29
- 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
        
        you've missed the point of my post entirely. I hope it made you feel smart. -- nm - Diva Dec 12, 07:46 3
        
        No need to get snippy. -- nm - znufrii Dec 12, 07:56 2
        
        Can't you see President Trump is tearing us apart! -- nm - Beaker Dec 12, 07:57

        Trump is going to learn something real quick. His own party ain't going to be cutting these programs. - Bacon Dec 12, 07:40 3
        
        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
        
        I am going to drain the swamp. Then hires everyone from the swamp. Hehe, and his people will eat it up. -- nm - Bacon Dec 12, 07:43
  - Yes, it's not like they found the CEO sharing intelligence with a foreign government or something - Bacon Dec 12, 07:26
- The 1% have feelings too, znufrii. -- nm - crash davis Dec 12, 07:20
I am so powerful. I can feel the power from my tiny little wrists to my tiny little baby-sized fingers -- nm - Trump Dec 12, 07:15 1
- I should just note that I heard this whole post in Alec Baldwin's impersonation voice. -- nm - ty97 Dec 12, 07:19
