True...sad but so unfortunately true. Guess at the least we can hope for tax cuts? Revenues always grow when taxes are cut and folks keep more their earned income. Problem is Congress always spends the additional revenues and then beyond even that!
ALWAYS. Ugh! 😏
This is generally good advice, but be careful which index funds you're laying your managed assets in?
The Truth about index funds
I get that, and the bottom line is always making money. However if the value of certain assets within your portfolio mix or investment strategy are declining, at some point you have to consider if their non performance is worth holding onto? That's where P/E multiples can help you decide what to sell, what to hold onto or what to buy more of? At the end of the day, making money is really all that counts. The P/E ratios give you reasonable expectations of keeping that assurance.
Happy investing!

A lot of companies exist on business loans to cover cash flow deficiency. When interest rates go up 5% and you were already only making 6% profit it hurts that your month to month costs for payroll cost moreInflation and interest rates are the biggest drags on economic growth right now, and ultimately corporate earnings. We're paying more for goods and services, but it's also costing companies more for supplies and labor so profit margins are getting squeezed. Not to mention liquidity in the venture capital markets is almost non existent, as many institutional investors are holding their positions to keep from losing more of their earnings due to the dollar shrinking because of inflation.
If Trump can cut energy costs by increasing supply, that will have a ripple effect through the rest of the economy easing pressure on manufacturers, suppliers, producers, and ultimately consumers. If we can get government spending under control and either cut the deficit or grow revenues through tax cuts, that should help reduce interest rates, which will spur a new round of investing and/or lending to get this economy moving again.
Let's hope all of that happens, because if it doesn't, we're in heep big doo-doo!![[poop]](https://res-1.cloudinary.com/rivals/image/upload/siz8cpxto8x0dyefbegb.png "Poop [poop]")
Everyone. Even simpleton fuktard idiots who don't understand economics
P/E is certainly a metric to consider. I like to also evaluate the current year and past 2-3 years of Free Cash Flow, Revenue Growth, and Debt Levels. That helps me (maybe not others who are better at this than me) get an idea of whether the company is growing and an insight to the future performance, which is what i am most interested in. I like to ride growth companies in my growth portfolio, and stable dividend companies in my income portfolio. Each person has their own goals.I get that, and the bottom line is always making money.

Thank you for your insights. Good discussion on both ends.
I don't watch that guy on Fox but whenever one of you posts one of his commentaries, he's usually spot on. That one linked here is the best political analysis of the cacklin' Communist I've heard to date! He absolutely nails it, and any Leftist still delusional enough to vote for this hysterical Hyeina deserves the defeat she will hand them.
It's not just her. The fact is the new Democrat Party's ideas just suck and don't work.
True. However he captures the absolute incompetent futility of her entire campaign which was nothing more than some "printed on a napkin" spur of the moment marketing gimmick! I mean she is a terrible candidate. Damn.
Kamala and most democrats ARE a new way forward and those of us with a brain can see the new way they want is full blown socialism and new world order and kicking the constitution to the curb . Biden he was a brain dead lifetime politician who had already sold himself, powers to be was just collecting a debt these past 4 years.
