Regardless of all the rhetoric, do you have a trigger finger on your investments leading up to and including the U.S. presidential election?
doesn't affect me in any way

That's a bonus. I'm no investment player by any means but something tells me that the U.S. election results could have a major effect on our finances going forward. In my case, it's only super related and when to cash in.doesn't affect me in any way
All true.The issue for Labor at the next election is that they only hold Government by 2 seats.
In the entire history of federation of Australia, the least amount of seats a first term government has lost at the next election is 5 seats, and the majority of the time this happened was when there was half of the amount of seats in the parliament (75 compared to 151 now).
We moved from 75 to a range of 120-125 from just after WWII (1949) to just after Hawke was elected 1983. Since we moved from 125 to around 150 seats (range of 148-151) at the Federal level at the 1984 election, every first term government has lost a minimum of 11 seats at the next election, although we probably have to make some adjustments for 1984.
That 1984 election there was 23 new seats. with the Coalition winning 16 and the Labor 7, so still a significant loss of seats for a first term Government based on percentages.
I don’t think it’s a Ponzi scheme anymore? Do you agree @Gronk ? How about the resident f**kwit who would argue about f**king anything. At least @Gary Gutful was a man about it.He also said Bitcoin will hit 1 million dollars. @Avenger
Yeah. Most of our exchanges were just healthy banter. I like stirring because I know you have a good sense of humour.I don’t think it’s a Ponzi scheme anymore? Do you agree @Gronk ? How about the resident f**kwit who would argue about f**king anything. At least @Gary Gutful was a man about it.
I’d say neither side has moved too far left or right. We just have a situation where left v right has become more of a focus. Which is dumb when you think about it.Could equally be a mirror image, with the conservative taking off to the right, and the centrist ending up closer to the left side.

Problem is that besides the shit list and bitcoin, it's the only thing I've been right about.Yeah. Most of our exchanges were just healthy banter. I like stirring because I know you have a good sense of humour.
I’m the first to admit that you know more about bitcoin than I ever will. When you were proven right on stuff I was happy to concede.
