       @lain He got what he wanted: more troops on Greenland.In the long term, the Europeans will invite the Americans in for the naval/air defense.

       @amerika @lain This is a wonderful interpretation, and one I think Trump himself will use, _if_ he won't make any progress with acquiring Greenland. On the other hand, it can be argued that he could just have asked and avoided negative stock market effects making life worse for 100s of millions of people. It's kind of using a nuke to ask the guy next to you to stop farting. Regardless... Trump is always great entertainment, and watching the inept and spineless EU leadership is also quite fun from a certain detached point of view.

       @h4890 @amerika @lain A stock market dip doesn't make life worse though. It means everything at the NYSE is on sale. I'm buying.

       @Vox @amerika @lain For you and me, this is the truth! But I was thinking more about the general public. Like you, I bought recently. One of my online casino holdings unexpectedly dropped 20%, and it does that every 4-5 years or so, so I refilled. Dividend was at 7.25% at the dip which is very nice! =) With that dividend, they basically only need to maintain their marketposition, and it will be a nice investment over time.

       @h4890 @amerika @lain Yeah, I missed a nice dip in CoreWeave a couple of weeks ago. I set my limit one point below where it bottomed out. Next day it rallied 14 points. I was sad, and a little miffed at myself for getting too greedy. I'm not gonna miss this one!

       @Vox @amerika @lain My strategy is extremely long term, so I never quibble about cents when I buy. But if you are more about the short term, then I understand why it might matter.

       @h4890 @Vox @lain Some of the best times to buy are market panics like right now. Most people have no idea what the future is going to be like, but you guys have a good idea of the general direction so... a good time to buy ammo stocks (or equivalent).
