yea you are probably right

I'm more concerned about a bear market taking me down in the short term

I've never touched my 401K before and I've always rebounded so I'm not very sure if I'm doing the right thing here.

In recorded calls from the Cook County Jail, Tucker, who'd recently served more than a decade in prison for shooting someone, was quite philosophical about landing back behind bars, according to federal court records.

After all, if he hadn't been arrested carrying the gun, he almost certainly would've been caught for something far worse — perhaps even murder, Tucker allegedly said in the calls.

"Everything happens for a reason, man," Tucker told a friend three days after his February arrest, according to a federal criminal complaint filed last month. "Think about it, man. This summertime, what I was doing, where I was headed this summertime, man, I would have gotten caught shooting that mother*****r ... That would've been life in (prison)."

The same call offered a rare moment of candor by a reputed gang member on how the reality of the city's streets had forced him to carry a "pole" — street slang for a gun — for protection, according to the complaint. The only solution, he said, was to move out of Chicago.

"Boy, I quit," authorities quoted Tucker as saying on the call. "I can't carry no pole no more. I'm through. Only way I gotta do that is I gotta get out of Chicago. ... I can't be without it in Chicago, you know how that s**t go."

Tucker's c'est la vie attitude on the calls reflects a stark honesty about the gun violence that continues to rage this summer in pockets of the South and West sides. Just last weekend, more than 40 people were shot on the city's streets, including a 12-year-old girl who was wounded in the leg while sitting on a porch in the West Englewood neighborhood and two mothers killed in a drive-by attack at an Englewood intersection where an anti-violence group has camped out every summer day since 2015.

Tucker, meanwhile, was arraigned Thursday in the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse for allegedly being a felon in possession of a handgun — a charge carrying up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

In earlier arguing to hold Tucker without bond, federal prosecutors blasted his attempt to find a "silver lining" in his arrest, saying Tucker's insistence on carrying a gun "directly contributes to the violence that is sadly afflicting our district and our city especially during the summer months."

"Frankly, your honor, you should take him at his word," Assistant U.S. Attorney Devlin Su said during the July 9 detention hearing. "Because if he's not detained he's going to be out there this summertime, shooting his gun, getting caught for attempted murder and murder. It doesn't get more serious than that."

Tucker's court-appointed attorney, Daniel Hesler, said Tucker had been doing well since being released from prison late last year, finding work as a dishwasher and reconnecting with his mother and sister. While incriminating, the jail recordings also indicate that Tucker was ready to put his gun-toting past behind him, Hesler said.

But U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria Valdez agreed with prosecutors, saying in her order denying bond that it was clear Tucker "feels that he is stuck between the crosshairs of Chicago."

"So will he always make the right decision? I'm not sure of that," Valdez said.

if we want to talk about systemic racism in this country, lets start with the national media only caring about white people getting shot in mass shootings
or you could start here.. The first African slaves within the continental United States arrived via Santo Domingo to the San Miguel de Gualdape colony (most likely located in the Winyah Bay area of present-day South Carolina), founded by Spanish explorer Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón in 1526.[9]

10 year cycles almost invariably stocks go up up up--been since the 30's it stayed down for 10 years

even the crash in 2008

once you get inside 5 years you run risk of recession/depression

https://www.bing.com/search?q=S%26P500& ... 66a591907a

hit max on the chart above and you'll see what I mean

the worse we had in our lifetime was june 2009

but within 3 years it was back up past where it crested in 2008

wait til your 5 years out then pull it at a point where its seems to have crested

So you weren't being funny? You literally meant a discussion regarding systemic racism needs to start "with the national media only caring about white people getting shot in mass shootings"?

And the whole "butwhutaboutChicago" - seriously? People aren't stampeding after a car backfire because of south side gangbanger/drug dealer killings. Do you know what I'm talking about or do you need me to elaborate?

More on the Leftist and media hypocrisy on mass murders:

El Paso death roll: 22

Dayton massacre: 9

Leftist and Media reaction: Freakout.

Mass murder toll in Democrat-dominated Baltimore so far this year: 342 (victims presumably overwhelmingly black and Hispanic victims)

Mass murder toll in Democrat-dominated Detroit so far this year: 268 (presumably overwhelmingly black and Hispanic victims)

Mass murder toll in Democrat-dominated St. Louis so far this year: 205 (presumably overwhelmingly black and Hispanic victims)

https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/blog/ ... ate-cities

Leftist and Media reaction to all of the above: None

You lose.

I'd like to know which newly proposed gun law being floated around by mainstream democrats or republicans would have prevented these shootings

Democrats ignore the daily carnage of people of color in American cities. The reason is obvious. They are white supremacists.

Trump calls the brown people "rapists", "animals", and "invaders". The manifesto-massacre guy repeated those words verbatim. Trump catches massive amounts of shit, and prof aka Smithers flails at damage control. Deja vu all over again.
