Yes, the media and financial news is loaded with all sorts of stuff. It really is nothing new. We just have maybe more access to it now. As for our thread, it will survive. As mentioned a few times, I have at times went back and visited various parts of the thread. Even well before I joined. This thread has a history of discussions on elections, government policies, economic events, and even politics. There have even been several spirited discussions about these issues. Quite frankly, way more so than anything here recently. Don't take my word for it, take a trip down memory lane yourself. Many of those discussions were quite specific and a wide variety of opinions about all of the above. If this thread survived some of those spirited conversations then.....we are certainly in no danger today. This thread began in late 2018....which is not that long ago from an investing stand point. It has some very good information, because it is a culmination of different people, investors, ages, and even opinions. It will continue to be.
