Don't have any individual stocks, e.g. Monarch Beverage Company and future markets are far too risky for this retiree.

Listened to about 5 minutes of Limblow on this morning’s commute. He flat out lied, saying that CNN and MSNBC made “no mention” of Apple’s announcement on jobs and taxes. He lies about as much as Donny, and shares the same idiot base.

Yesterday’s article from CNN:

“Despite a handful of high-profile announcements, the recent cuts in corporate taxes haven’t yet had a meaningful impact on American companies’ plans to boost investment or raise workers’ pay, a CNBC survey of large companies found. … Only 9 companies in the S&P 100 contacted by CNBC said they have specific plans to use some of the money saved from the corporate tax cuts to boost worker pay or invest in facilities or charitable causes.

Analysts at RBC Capital Markets said Thursday that this tax indicates Apple will bring back $207 billion after taxes and said they believe ”almost all of it” will be used to reward shareholders through share buybacks or dividends.

Of course.

It hadn't even been a month yet. Sheesh. Also, the only companies that have to make announcements are those that are publicly traded.

Yeah, I heard the same thing. I believe he was referring to the on-air portion of CNN/MSNBC's programming, not the web portion.

Quoting your original point, Apple shows the “conventional wisdom” is absolutely correct.

Uh, no it doesn't. Apple - in case you missed it, which I strongly suspect you didn't - announced bonuses, expansion plans and new hiring specifically attributable to the corp tax rate cut.

The repatriation is a ONE TIME opportunity to bring funds back from overseas operations that have already been booked as profit for the corporation. Difference scenario.

So you’re a Trump apologist AND a Limblow apologist. You actually believe every one of their thousands of lies as the truth, don’t you?
