    Wouldn't it be fun to have Trump on the board? Talk about someone that is an easy target for trolling. He responds to any and every comment made.

    I think he would lose it if he got one of JL's "that's dumb" replies.

      As soon as Trump logs in (it could happen!), I'll sponsor a Bring Back DDD Fund. He'd carve up Agent Orange like a Thanksgiving turkey.

        His multiple bankruptcy filing are something that he should be judged on since he's running for President.

        Now that Bernie is done, the Democratic apparatus has been able to focus on Trump. The results are as expected. No matter the damage it causes, the Republicans just need to upend the process and produce a different candidate at the convention.
        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

          I really wish we could fast forward five years, as I will not enjoy the next four years of political discussion. Maybe on a cheerier note, what countries make the best places for US ex-pats to live at the cheapest rates. So far, I've compiled Costa Rica, and Ecuador. Any other options? Unfortunately for me, I am not at the stage where this is feasible, but if I were ten years down the road, I'd be outta here once Her Royal Highness sits on her throne. This is going to be just plain awful. And I thought the past sixteen years were terrible.

          Curse Trump for bringing this plague upon us. I am wishing him nothing but harm.

            The only saving grace would be for Trump to damage her so badly she can't govern. We'd be better off with her unable to govern. There really is so little we need Washington to do. When Washington gets involved, it only worsens our condition. Unfortunately, I don't see Trump damaging her enough. The best we could hope for is Hillary crawled up in the fetal position every night in the Oval Office, so that she can do her best Jimmy Carter imitation.

              I can't tell you how much havic the Obama administration and his beaurocrats have hurt our industry. I don't want to debate this, especially with those who don't know shit about this, but think they do.

              The supposed Elizabeth Warren type consumer protection horse shit really has an effect of hurting the smaller investor. I realize everyone doesn't want or need a financial advisor, but some really do and the risk reward of dealing with the small investor has become far to great for the better investment advisors.

                Small investors will use bots in the future. Your industry is dying.

                  I know, right? Bush was terrible! I, like you, long for the days of Clinton, 16 years ago.

                    I hope it works well for them. As far as dealing with small investors, I would agree the industry is dying.

                      I was going to comment that this should mean more work for you, but I never go for the low-hanging fruit. Oh, wait...

                        Yeah, robots will be replacing lawyers, doctors, and other brainless occupations. All we are going to need in the future is engineers to design the robots.

                          Ecuador has a ridiculous socialist leader. You should go there. I remember on cougarguard you were contemplating moving to China for political reasons. Is that still a possibility?

                            I long for Reagan and Ike. Other than that, there haven't been any good Presidents. I do not long for Clinton, as the only good done during his time was the result of Newt. Thanks for correcting me. I've loathed the past twenty-four years of Presidents.

                              Engineers are just math guys. We can program computers to do the computations.

                                I've seen Terminator 2; engineers become worthless as well. The good news is that Skynet, Inc. has asked me to do the option plan for all of their robot/engineers.
