Someone squash or confirm the raise rumors

You don’t usually get the opportunity of the president telling you they are planning on crashing it. But I love this comment after it’s already tanked 15-18%

You already admitted you have no idea when to go back in 😭

If you missed the market’s 10 best days over the past 30 years, your returns would have been cut in half. And missing the best 30 days would have reduced your returns by an astonishing 83%.

But good luck Mr Buffett

This is exactly what I think will happen too. And I think it’s going to all be announced as one package. I just don’t think it’s going to be private. I think it’s going to be a new agency. Maybe a public corporation or something but still “federal”

That was the proposal last time around some quasi federal private thing. But now they've basically guaranteed funding so how do we sell it this time. I know if we give raises and privitize we can fix it. Trust us. Look at how good.flight service is.

Idk I think splitting the ato makes sense tbh. The main thing is getting the ability to sell bonds.

I love this stat, it’s the best reminder that history says stay the course. It sucks at times in down markets, but in the end I can only hope history repeats itself! I know someone who pulled out at the lows of covid and went G fund. Missed the entire run up that happened right after. They lost so much money.

They never gave you advanced warning before. 😂

You know how you said other people said you were regarded for selling. That doesn't change just because you're ahead this round.

You had a warning there would be tariffs, and you took from that that you knew that nothing would happen to change that, that the market wouldn't be impacted by anything else between when you sold and when the tariffs went into play, and that people would react unfavorably.

Anyone with common sense would tell you a longterm global pandemic will be bad for us, so you could've acted the same way 5 years ago "hehehe we never had an advanced warning that the markets would tank 😂", but then after an initial shock it just kept rocketing up and up.

The advice not to try to time the market is sound, no matter what "warnings" you may think you hear/see.

You can celebrate your win in a private room if you want. Nobody else thinks you're special.

That’s not how that’s going to work. You should go to NiW next year and talk to people. They want to make you work longer and take away the early retirement provision altogether.

This is why we need to stop supporting them raising the retirement age like yesterday. There’s a reason NATCA does not support age waivers to extend your career another year and it’s a pretty good one. If NATCA supported that it would just be another box of ammunition to take away our good time/early retirement system under 5 USC, if we ever get to the table that is…
