BLM Considers Allowing More Wind, Solar Projects On Federal Lands.

Reuters (2/2, Groom) reported that the Bureau of Land Management said in a statement on Thursday that “it would consider amending” a California desert plan that had set aside areas for renewable energy development, “as part of a broader federal effort to unwind regulations that impede energy development.” BLM Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Katharine MacGregor said, “We need to reduce burdens on all domestic energy development, including solar, wind and other renewables.” The move “drew praise from the wind and solar industries but criticism from California officials and environmental groups.”

Altria Giving Employees $3,000 Bonus With Windfall From Federal Tax Cut.

The AP (2/2) reported Altria announced it is giving its employees a $3,000 bonus “with a fraction of its windfall from the federal corporate tax cut.” The one-time payout to about 7,900 non-executive employees totals about $24 million. The company posted a $10.3 billion profit last year. Additionally, according to the AP, Altria “announced plans Thursday to set aside $35 million over the next three years for donations to philanthropic programs, mostly centered on youth development and workforce preparedness, in communities where it operates.”

        In an editorial, the Richmond (VA) Times-Dispatch (2/2) praised Altria for the bonuses and devotion to philanthropy. The Times-Dispatch further chastised “liberal Democrats” who can “no longer pretend the tax cut does nothing for the middle class.” The newspaper also questions why these so-called “hyper-greedy executives” would decide to give up “at least $1.7 billion in profits for a few headlines” if, in the eyes of Democrats, they are so “uncontrollably rapacious its executives would sell their own mothers’ blood for an extra nickel.”

So a pullback is healthy and part of the market cycle, but when the markets in an upswing it’s due to Trump? 

Isnt the upswing also part of the market cycle? I don’t think you realize how blatantly biased you are, which is the scary part.  

The overall move in the market to the upside over the last year is due to Trump's policies, and the increase in confidence associated with same.

No market upswing is 'up-and-to-the-right' without interruption.  When the market gets ahead of itself, it pulls back, temporarily. 

A retrenchment of 5-10% will be healthy in building a new base.  

Good luck.

Ignoring your politard bullshit, this day is nuts! The fucking dow dropped 850 points in 15 min. That hadn’t happened in an entire day before. Largest intra day drop in history. Incredible. 

Actually, on a percentage basis, it is barely in the Top 300 drops.  Maintain perspective.

Like you have, whenever it went up a few points.  Got it.   Closing at its lowest point for the year is fake news, apparently.  

Nothing fake about it.

I moved back in just prior to the close. 

Good luck to all longs.

You are either a liar or the biggest fuckin idiot of all time. Why would you have pulled out of the hugest most fantastic winningest market of all time, only to buy back at market close.

The only thing you are short on is the cheeto colored schlong you been sucking. The only thing long is your endless line of shit you continue to throw about.

Does the endless line of hyperbolic, trumpsucking

 diatribe actually make you feel better?

sir

Jesus...everybody try and get a fucking grip for like 10 seconds.

My god.

It always brings the lulz to see people get rattled by QO.

Not sure if referring to me, but I love days like this. It’s a healthy pullback. My excitement was more looking and seeing the Dow -1,550. Pretty crazy to see lol I realize it’s not that steep a fall historically, but still historical in sheer points. 

Im an FA..has just two phone calls today and both were to buy in at these low prices. That’s when you know you haven’t hit rock bottom yet! 

I was just going in long and hard. my diversification and polical portfolio demands a unified stance.

And I called him sir.

Drumpf's layers want him to refuse interview w/ Mueller.  

lol  fake news.....amirite?

The last several posts make me happy that I'm too stupid to "play the market" in favor of investing in good companies and using random market drops as an opportunity to buy undervalued stocks. OTOH, I'm happy to be too smart to be part of the statist bullshit and pretending there's a dime's difference between the major parties.
