I don't know how to beat Vegas. he outsmarts me at every turn. 

I am going to make you a very generous offer. The stakes will be: If you win, then I am banned a year. If I win, then you are only banned for a month. 

That is generous.

    that statement holds plenty of truth to it.

We still have a decade before being forced to withdraw from our retirement accounts.

I’ll give you 3 yrs max before you start withdrawing…and probably not on preferable terms

Had you done so, you'd post it..

But you won't because you know it will subject you to more ridicule.

No problem. Cannon judges. I already posted it like 40 times now. However, I also know why I have to post that same video to you. Repeat! repeat! Repeat!.....


Cannon judges. I don't want to hear your tantrums and whimpering. It gives me a headache.

It would have to be a pretty serious event for that to happen. It helps having 5 years worth of living expenses in cash without any income sitting there as a backup.

Whatever's coming, I did the best I could to be prepared.

News on first quarter GDP:

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/31/first-q ... urvey.html

The Rapid Update, averaging forecasts from 14 economists for GDP and inflation, sees first quarter growth registering an anemic 0.3% compared with the 2.3% reported in the fourth quarter of 2024. It would be the weakest growth since 2022 as the economy emerged from the pandemic.

None forecast consecutive quarters of economic contraction. Oxford Economics, which has the lowest Q1 estimate at -1.6%, expects a continued drag from imports but sees second quarter GDP rebounding to 1.9%, because those imports will eventually end up boosting growth when they are counted in inventory or sales measures.

How close will the experts be?

The Coming Recession Will Be Self-Inflicted

Is A Recession Looming? An Economic Update From Fed Chair PowellMar 20, 2025, 06:22pm EDT

Powell said the U.S. economy is strong overall and labor market conditions are solid. He added that the economy grew at a rate of 2.3% during the fourth quarter of 2024. He also said consumer spending is moderating following rapid growth in the second half of 2024. This is important since consumer spending is by far the largest component of the U.S. economy, accounting for approximately 70% of total gross domestic product. Thus, if consumers continue to spend, the economy should do well.

Powell said the labor market remains solid with job gains averaging 200,000 per month for the past three months. Unemployment is low, at 4.1%, and wages are growing faster than inflation. 

Powell did say there’s a lot of uncertainty around the Trump administration policy changes and their effect on the economic outlook. However, given the most recent data, there is no sign that a recession is near. 

Even though there is a chance of recession in the not-too-distant future, today, the economy is strong, the labor market is solid, and inflation is falling. Although the chance of recession exists, it seems to be low. 

I will take the report from Powell and not the biased bitch from the failed bloomberg trash magazine. You really should change your news sources. I get my news from Jesse Waters. A real journalist.
