Don takes credit for other people's money

Don takes credit for other people’s money so as President …
Last year, Don took credit for creating a golf course he does not own, did not pay for and yet gets all the fees from. “I want to thank my family because they put up with me,” Trump told the crowd. “They say, ‘He’s crazy, he’s got to be crazy.’ But we knew we could get it done.” Don’s company manages it for the city, whose taxpayers spent $127 million to build it in an old Bronx garbage dump. Don got 20-year deal to keep almost all the fees. Taxpayers get the utility bills. Don got $8 million in revenue while taxpayers covered $1 million in water and sewage bills. He claims the course in his net worth. His election video claims he “transformed a landfill into a championship public golf course and saved the city millions.” As Prez, Don will do Don’s deals and we will pay tax bills.


Does market timing provide higher returns?
BlackRock, the index trading firm, found that if you were out of the market just 5 days over the last 20 years, your $100,000 investment would fall from $478,171 to $317,215. That is 5 of 7300 or 0.06849315% of the time. It costs you $161,000! Or about 33% of your gains. And it you let it ride on the index, your ½ a million will double in about 7 years.  It is TIME in -- NOT timing the market that counts. Market timing requires you know exactly when to get out and ALSO when to get back in. There are simply too many unknowns for even the biggest computers and minds to figure the market ups and downs. There are so many ETFs that even when they make money, they’re unprofitable: they close. And when they do well, less than half of them do well the next years. So when your advisor tells you it is time to buy or sell you can point out a BlackRock fact. That will impress them and you will be richer and won’t need their advice anymore.  


GOP wants BIG govt help for themselves but not for others
GOP voted against Sandy help for NY and NJ but wants govt money for own state
These Louisiana politicians are demanding flood aid but voted against Sandy relief. VP Pence was against AIDS needles for other addicts but FOR needles for his own state. GOP states are voting to change the Constitution to suite their own private politics. Koch Bros, who helped pay for GOP dominance, claim they are against gov subsidies but take them for themselves. Koch has pushed KS to cut schools, roads, staff and now no company wants to live there. Koch got tax break. Congress people vote against insider trading for us but allow it for themselves and get rich. GOP voted to shut down the government and it cost us $ 24 billions BUT they got paid. TX judge tells all states not to follow Obama’s bathroom policy. Don is or isn’t backing off his stance on deporting 11 million. We deported 235,413 people last year; 409,849 in 2012. Don’s group says he will need 90,000 new agents and 1,250 new courts and judges at $300 billion. Plus their labor worth $1-trillion is lost. GOP never pays for their ideas, like deregulation. It will cost $300 billion to fix GOP’s Flint water-saving idea. GOP says US must pay: https://www.amazon.com/Americas-Socialism-Rich-little-people/dp/1535218584

What is the Ultimate Automatic Wealth Management account?
Fidelity found that their client accounts that were most successful were those put on automatic—left alone—forgotten. “The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.” Warren Buffett claims that his holding period is forever. He advocates compounding (allow earnings on earnings to grow exponentially): "My wealth has come from a combination of living in America, some lucky genes, and compound interest." Robo-advisors work because money does NOT trade, rebalance, market time, buy high-sell low or sector rotate. It compounds exponentially. Besides you might end up with a “boy genius” broker that Morgan Stanley “neglected” until too late. One client lost $700,000 life savings and arbitration awarded her $150,000 refund.

Is a hedge fund right for your pension?
More than 80 percent of investors redeemed at least a portion of their money from hedge funds in the first half of 2016, according to a study by Credit Suisse Capital Services. Underperformance by specific hedge fund managers was responsible for 53 percent of those redemptions, according to the study. Brevan Howard Asset Management last year cut 50 jobs because of losses. John Paulson rose to legend-status when he earned a reported $4 billion betting against subprime mortgages during the financial crisis. But now, from 2008 to 2016, hedge funds have averaged 2.5 percent. And the low-cost Vanguard balanced fund has averaged 9.96%. High-cost hedge funds are competing against themselves and you are better off with market returns of 10-12%.


Is taking Social Security benefits EARLY right for you?
Yes, you can start your benefits early but you lose 25% for the rest of your life. You can’t reverse the decision so you need to meet with your local office and your financial advisor before deciding. This website has helped some http://www.myretirementpaycheck.org/ and you should read your statement at https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/. Waiting past your official retirement age (67+) bumps up your benefits each year. If you still work past this age, your wages may increase your later benefits. Generally, the calculation is based on your highest years’ incomes. This is why all the fireman and police work overtime during their final years. It adds to their pensions too. If you work after retirement SS reduces benefits: If you go back to work before reaching your full retirement age, $1 in benefits will be deducted for every $2 you earn above the annual limit (which is $15,720 in 2016). EXAMPLE: You retire early and go back to work before you reach your full retirement age. In that time you earn $30,000 in salary. Because you are $14,280 over the annual limit, your Social Security benefits are reduced by $7,140.


Don’s Apology?: “Sometimes in the heat of debate, and speaking on a multitude of issues,   you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that." 
Hill’s Apology?: “I followed advice of Colin and other Sec. State before me.”

Don:    “You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent     of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?” Vote for Don, bigot
            Don’s team: Hannity “I never claimed to be a journalist.” Fox news is not news.
            Pollster Conway: “I am white and he spoke to me.” But I’m paid to say that!
            My plan for a “deportation force” is “to be determined,” my handlers say. ??
            Trumps “pretended to be Swedish so we could sell homes to Jews.” Family historian
            I was against bringing Americans home to get well from Ebola. I want no spread!
            I will give other people’s money to the LA flood I know media is watching now.    
            People give to Trump Foundation to get access too—I give to Clinton too.
            I want black votes?  but I refused to go to NAACP convention. I was birther head.
            My advisor Bachmann: “white people suffered more under the Obama             administration than black people did during slavery.” She’s GREAT advisor!

            I don’t want to be president, just “listen to my meaning.” I just used $55,000 in campaign donations to buy copies of my book at full retail price. Boost my book ratings.

Mike:   It is the media’s fault for the drop in polls. Putin OK. Only 32% GOP trust media. 
           
Hill:    Colin Powell advised me to use a private email account, I told FBI. Powell ?
            Liberty and Greens may again create a better monster: (Nader gave us Bush II)
            I have 2-to-1 support from employees working for defense giants. Bigger guns! 

Tim:    Bigot is person who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or             politics and is intolerant of those who differ. EG: All ‘Mexicans are rapists.’             ‘Keep Muslims out of America.’ ‘You are all living in poverty’. Etc etc.

Regulators are the only protection we have since we can’t sue anymore
            “It is nearly impossible for one individual to take on a corporation with vast resources.” (GOP bill                requires impossible: every person in class action suffer “same type and scope of injury”)
               Supremes stop us from suing—State courts no longer available to sue corporations!

When everyone has guns; your chance of being killed goes up. Police want gun control. They don’t know who to shoot. Shot a psych worker with his hands up while on ground. 
Police shot black homeowner who reported car stolen in front of house. They shoot first if black or deaf. Deaf man was fatally shot when he tried to explain in sign.

Sign of the times

How our government wastes our money

Zika threat ignored by Congress just like AIDs. It cost us over $440 billion eventually!
            Plus all the babies will never have a chance for full life. Shame on congress.
