Upgrade ....streamer or amp?

You were gonna cash out your IRA to buy a streamer?? That’s sounds like the worst financial decision of all time... The stocks have not even dropped to the level they were after Trump won the election... Remember after he won the stock market exploded, now it’s barely back to Nov 3rd levels and rising... you only lose money if you panic sell like a fool anyway... They will all be back up higher than ever in a few months anyway..

I would look into getting a Aurender streamer, that was one of the biggest upgrades I ever did. I couldn’t believe how much better everything sounded through it, and I  have hundreds of CDs in full WAV format on its internal SSD which sounds amazing and blows away streaming quality, although streaming is very good with qobuz. My only complaint is that it doesn’t come with a remote, you can only control it with the app and it should have come with a basic play/pause skip tracks buttons.

@mdalton In 2022 the dow Jones crashed to 28k, in November 24 it skyrocketed to 44k after Trump won, now it’s a 39k today...

Point is, it always rebounds, and these tariffs are onshoring trillions in new USA manufacturing and construction... Nvidia now going to USA manufacturing for its AI supercomputer chips with a $500 billion investment, AMD now going to build CPUs in the USA for the first time, TSMC moving chip production to the USA, multiple auto makers moving production back to the USA... Oil prices plummeting, inflation down to almost zero, tax cuts for USA made manufacturers, all a recipe for economic boom

It takes some time, but the stock market will break all records over the next couple years... The people that might lose out are some day traders, hedge fund managers and fools that panic sell, normal people with stocks and retirement accounts will make a lot of money...

This is all about isolating the CCP who have done much evil to the world and incredible damage to the USA, better to have a short trade war, than a protracted military conflict with the CCP who hate us...

And if your so worried about tariffs there is a simple hack to not pay any tariffs, buy American made goods... Better quality anyway

2017-2021 we had a strong economy and strong markets .. 2021-2025 we had a bad economy and strong stock market... Thanks to war, war is great for the markets, banks, big firms and 1%, not so good for the struggling peasants 

There you go with your half truths @mdalton , GDP "grew" 13.7% because the country was shut down thanks to a virus from china, like how they kept telling us biden "created" millions of jobs when it was just millions of people who were forced to stay home went back to work after fighting against pointless lockdowns... And almost all actual new jobs went to illegals and govt buracracy expansion, and effectively zero private sector job growth
