We all know this “tax cut” is for the wealthy and corporations of this country

They all have their money tied up to the stock market and b/c of this it will performs well and in turn increase their fortunes

I’m telling my people to Set up a Vanguard account and buy large, mid, and small stock indexes and to put their money there instead of a IRA or money market account making bullshyt money. Keep adding money and leave it alone.

For instance, my retirement account I have it semi conservative while my vanguard account is all risky to benefit it from these times we are living ....this is a big leap for me cause I’m risk adverse but after my loss due to the housing crash, I have skin in the game


Of course this is not going to last forever so I plan to pull my money back once I see a 20% loss or even less lol...

Ride the wave

Question. I work for a Fortune 100 and I buy their stock every month instead of doing a traditional 401K because my company pays a 10% dividend just from owning the stock. Should i divest and do the vanguard plan instead?

AT&T Releases Details of Tentative Agreement in Mobility Orange Contract Negotiations
December 15, 2017 -- AT&T today provided details of a tentative agreement reached with the Communications Workers of America in Mobility Orange contract negotiations.

The four-year agreement was announced on Dec. 13. It covers about 20,000 employees in 36 states and the District of Columbia – AT&T’s Mobility Orange unit, which encompasses CWA Districts 1, 2-13, 4, 7 and 9.

The offer includes wage and pension increases, as well as comprehensive healthcare benefits. Virtually all employees covered by the offer would see a positive financial impact.

Among provisions of the offer:

  • Retroactive wage increases back to Feb. 12, 2017, and a $1,000 lump sum, if the agreement is ratified by Jan. 12, 2018.
  • General wage increases of 2.25% effective Feb. 12, 2017; 3% effective Feb. 11, 2018; 2.25% effective Feb. 10, 2019; and 2.25% effective Feb. 9, 2020. Compounded wage increase over the four-year term of the offer will be over 10%, and employees in wage progression may see an even greater total increase over the term of the offer.
  • For retail sales consultants, $2,500 moved from commissions that are at-risk to base pay that is not.
  • The offer maintains one of the most robust health care plans in the nation, with the company paying over 70% of the total costs including 100% of preventive care costs.
  • Employment security for call center and retail sales employees. If a call center or retail store closing results in a job loss, or if a call center or retail title is eliminated, affected employees will be guaranteed a job offer in our Mobility business.
  • Industry-leading retirement benefits, including both a pension plan and a 401(k) savings plan.
  • Attendance changes for call center and retail sales employees under a point-based attendance policy. The number of points for a multi-day absence would be reduced.

Goddamn the next downturn is going to be a bytch. Large swath of this country will be starving. I give it another five years before the next downturn. All asset classes are overvalued. Usually before a recession it's on asset class that is overvalued. Like back 08 it was real estate. Nowadays it's all asset classes. Which when the crash comes it will be ugly. :hubie: Add this tax bill,Republican austerity measures,collapse of retail stores, millennial being poorer than any previous generation since the great depression, the coming pension crisis,and many other problems America has long term. The 2020s will be telling for America.

i am sure it will be the fault of those of us blacks and browns and gays in the "innercities" and we "coastal elitists" when they have to drive 2 hrs to a grocery store though.

let their hate fill their bellies!

feast on nothingburgers and shyt sandwiches!

Nah...they're just gonna plop Wal-Marts down in strategically convenient areas

And if the people complain, they will call them liberals, communists, and claim that they are standing in the way of economic freedom and the country's prosperity.

I’m no financial expert but in my opinion yes, divest...what if your company goes under?

I would keep the company stocks and open another investment portfolio.
