Royal Bank of Scotland: "sell everything"

Never. Don't drip your money in the same pool of you own industry. You may think you know it, but by your posts, you really don't. Steer clear.
If you did know the industry, you wouldn't even ask. That should answer your question. And RJET? Unless you short it, I'd steer clear.
In the end, you need to decide where to go, and move pronto. You have been asking questions for weeks. Seniority matters. Pick you bed, and get comfy. A delay only delays all future prospects. A week is one thing to decide, a month can make a huge difference in QOL and movement. Personally, after a merger, a month was 500+ numbers. Couldn't help it at the time due to an age requirement for hiring, but it has been the difference of hundreds of days off and significant QOL. Make a plan, and execute.

Feds foresee $30 trillion debt, blame looming tax hikes and Obamacare
The federal government will be flirting with $30 trillion in debt within a decade, the Congressional Budget Office reported Monday, blaming an aging population, new spending approved on Capitol Hill, and the growing burden from Obamacare for erasing the progress Washington had made over the past few years.
Analysts said Obamacare will chase more workers out of the labor force over the next five years, adding pressure to an economy still struggling to spring to life more than seven years into the "Obama recovery".

Which is why we should take money out of politics, revamp government acquisition systems, and get rid of this ridiculous "free market" health care system for a single payer system.
"The economic front is somewhat brighter for Mr. Obama, who seven years into the recovery will finally see significant sustained growth of 2.5 percent this year and 2.6 percent next year, the CBO said.
That will be followed by a cooling off, with growth dropping below 2 percent in 2019 and 2020. The economic gains will continue to go disproportionately to the wealthy, helping boost income tax revenue but limiting payroll taxes, which will put even more pressure on the entitlement programs that are driving up deficits."
Which is why we should continue to deregulate the private sector and put more strain on organized labor. Who needs a middle class when you can have a ruling class and everyone else?

I LOL'd at how you cherry-picked what you wanted to from that article, Breezy, while completely ignoring anything that shoots massive, gaping holes in your political ideology. If you don't like free markets, move to North Korea.

And health care shouldn't be a free market system. That's ludicrous. It is something everyone needs to stay alive. How has the free market helped create competition to drive down costs to the consumer. Oh, it hasn't because health costs have sky-rocketed (well before ACA). Has it helped eliminate cancer? No, because there isn't money in eliminating cancer. Auto-immune therapy has been wildly successful but if it is permanently fixed, how can the drug companies sell drugs? I wouldn't want the free market in charge of air. I shouldn't have to budget how many times I go to the doctor in a year so that I can afford it.
Only true idiots draw comparisons between socialist ideas and fascism.

In point of fact, only true idiots (read: brain-washed collectivists) are entitlement-minded and think they shouldn't have to pay for goods and services they use.
Want free health-care? Renounce your US citizenship and leave the US. I should not have to pay for your healthcare, only my own.
Fortunately, the grave error that is Obamacare is about to be rectified, if only because it is going to fail all on it's own (see: failing state exchanges and insurers dropping out).
Btw, you are so confused you don't even know what you are talking about.
First you say...
Ummm...since you haven't figured it out, genius, Obamacare REGULATES private sector healthcare, not deregulates it.
Geez you collectivists are total loons.

Back to the OP topic...
Obamacare + unchecked gov't spending driving up the national debt and hindering economic growth is going to cause massive problems in the price of equities going forward.

I don't want to subsidize Debbie Diabetes and her 5 kids from 3 different dads because she made poor decisions. I don't have a problem with having free health care, but if that's the case, then I want government imposed diet restrictions; which will never happen, of course. Legalize weed, deregulate big-pharma, etc and then you'll see lower health care premiums. There's more to it all, obviously, but too many hands in the cookie jar.

You also should read a psychological study on the effects of poverty on the brain. We would all be better off by raising the quality of life of the 80% of Americans are living pay check to pay check right now instead of giving tax breaks and allowing all the wage gains to be had at the executive level.

It's sarcasm and irony. I'm a left leaning moderate. I think there should be more government regulation.
