I guess it’s just not been happening fast enough for Georgie. From 2016:

*This is the company that bought thousands upon thousands of homes at 125-150% list price, yes?*

If it’s true why didn’t they buy mine?

That move caught my attention.

ZERO investors have been in the residential and commercial markets over the past year, yet Blackrock is going around scooping up all of these *terrible* buys.

Either their geniuses know something nobody else does or Blackrock is totally losing it.

Foreign-owned company allowed to do so.

Yes it will and to pour salt on the wound if the democrats pass their massive spending and regulations bill inflation will take off like wild fire.

It’s not unexpected the democrats could do so much massive damage in such a short time.

It is quite possible to have a squabble without honor between thieves.

I’ll go out on a limb and say the previous guy in the White House would have had a YUGE problem with this and would have been very vocal about it.

The timing is noteworthy.

Soros article from last week. Financial pivot away from China? Prelude to saber-rattling. Taiwan maybe?

There is a little shakeup going on in the investment world. We have some ownership of stocks and mutual funds, plus Ira's and Sep Ira's with Merrill Lynch, began working with our parents stockbroker, so does my sister and now her children and our children.

We have been complaining about Merrill being bought by BofA since the financial crash, I have a personal boycott against BofA for 40 years now, don't like them at all.

We have had repeated discussions about leaving Merrill, now our Andy has finally left!!! We had another discussion with him about 2 weeks ago when we found out BofA is teaching CRT to its employees and taught white babies are racist. This is after freaking about the billion dollars they pledged to give to BLM last year.

Andy, our stockbroker is a conservative Trump supporter, he finally proved it, he left Merrill and went to Morgan Stanley, not owned by BofA, best day ever! He put alot on the line to leave, all his customers are Merril's. Until ML called us to assign a new account manager, we had no way to get a hold of him, they gave us his number, we are leaving BofA.

The Chinese and the globalists, however, are the two groups who are accustomed to the idea that they should and do rule the world. (Yes, China had a bumpy century or so, but their history with it goes way back.)

True story - Three FReepers who will remain nameless, said that they would become conservative Americans. I shit you not.
One said she would rather have an Afghani refugee as a a neighbor than an atheist Democrat.

I think a DJT EO against it would have been automatic.
