But it finally gave way and crashed demonstrably into Bear territory beginning on the afternoon of September 29, 2008, in response to a handful of House Republicans suddenly reneging on their already "whipped" Yes votes needed to pass the original TARP, causing it to fail to pass. According to them, they did that because their feelings were hurt by something rather ordinary and innocuous then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that morning before the vote. I am not joking about that.
It was that particular straw on the camel's back that triggered a massive panic selloff that sent worldwide markets crashing and our economy into paralysis on the reasonable assumption that the then current Republican influence in government left America without the political will and smarts to do what was necessary to avert another Great Depression. Indeed, that little stunt to cause the original TARP to fail passage looked very much like the exact wrong moves Herbert Hoover and his fellow Republicans made in response to their Crash in 1929 that exacerbated and deepened the Great Depression.
From that afternoon on, the USA stock market would not find a floor and begin to recover until the Republican presence and influence was switched in the White House and tilted more toward Democrats in Congress and their first major economic recovery legislation was passed with practically no Republican votes.
What followed was the longest uninterrupted economic recovery and Bull Market in USA history. Even better than the previous Dem recoveries from Republican economic downturns or crashes under FDR, JFK / LBJ, Carter and Clinton. Obama's was even better and, considering the near unified Republican opposition to his and the Dems' efforts to pull us out of yet another in a long list of major Republican downturns over the past 85-90 years, I would say a more impressive accomplishment than those as well.
Btw, there was no Crash in 2009. Only a continuation of the panic selloff Crash that began on September 29, 2008 until about March 9, 2009, a couple of weeks after that American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was signed and passed.
I don't believe there has been a >20% decline/Crash triggering a Bear in the USA stock market with a Dem in the White House since before FDR. Beginning with Herbert Hoover roughly 90 years ago, Crashes or Bear markets have all begun under Republican presidents. That trend might even go back to 1907 under Teddy Roosevelt.

Recommending we quickly change the subject to pussy doesn't exactly refute what is cited in detail in those links or prove they report "Fake News", which I assume was your intention, but instead looks a wee bit like even you know you cannot do that.

I am not a doom and gloom merchant. I have around 50% of the portfolio in Thai equities down from 65% a week or so ago and now moving to overweight in cash and corporate bonds. Crashes are never expected yet they continuously happen. Last December was a scary reminder but thankfully was contained. I would say US markets now are either fully priced or perhaps 5% to 10% overpriced as they respond to expected cuts by the FED.
I don't foresee a market crash on the scale of '08 '09 which was caused by reckless US subprime property lending followed by mispricing of that lending but there are a number of signals out there that all is not well, not the least of which is the $13 trillion in negative yielding government debt a phenomenon Japan notwithstanding never seen before alongside the level of US debt over 100% and heading to 110%. A greater danger may be the irrational behavior of Trump who will do whatever it takes to get reelected and could bring about a collapse of the dollar in the process.
My point is nobody knows with any degree of certainty what's around the corner.
But what the hell, the sun is shining and the girls are waiting.

It's the number 1 reason why those guys seeking to re-locate to SE Asia because of their current libido levels need to have a good think about it because you definitely need something else to keep you amused.

I greatly appreciate your insights and questions. Truth is I am a sex maniac and I have never been married so maybe it's not for me but glad to hear you (and others) have figured out the marriage thing. The equation for right age makes sense to me. I am also dating an extremely sexy and beautiful 28 year old singer in the Dominican Republic who has never hooked. But her English is sparse. Nevertheless, if I could manage to rotate between that one and another exceptional, educated and busty woman in the Philippines or Thailand (with an occasional discreet fling) that would probably work for me. But that is a big "IF". Even though I am 63 I could easily pass for 53 with my long hair, healthy libido and youthful, guitar-playing, basically carefree existence. Cheers, buddy. If our paths cross the beer's on me. I'll be in PI and Thailand all of September. I'll PM you.

For DCups, he will be 73 when she is 55.
She may well also be menopausal by that age.
Remember that there is a tipping point where no amount or type of ED meds will make much difference, so you just have to hope that you can defy statistics and will still be "performing" well into your 70's.

Yes there are lots of middle aged Thai ladies available and looking for Farang husband. So your age 63 is about right for her, but her age is borderline. She maybe in good shape now, but consider in 5 to 10 years. Normal rule for ideal age is your_age /2 + 7, so approx. 40 years is perfect. Just so happens my Mrs is coming up to 40 next birthday. In 5 to 10 years I might start to find her a bit old. She is still easily hot enough for me now way above average looks, not quite skinny any more (filled out a bit). She does not have quite to E cups but big enough for me.
The main thing is, you can try, but it takes at least 2 years to really know the person if you are with them nearly every day. Most ladies are after a guy, fully or at least partially for economic reasons, hardly for the sex, ha ha. So if you build a house on her land in Prajuap (I spell it how it sounds. Thais may strangely write ch in place of English J sound), does not matter to her if you split up later. Takes time to find out if she is really single, for example. Takes time to find out if she gets angry and bad moods a lot and for no reason. Takes time to reveal Psycho elements. My Mrs has her blow ups, when I need to stay away a bit, but fortunately not too often. No point trying to reason with an angry woman. I have decided I can tolerate the odd blow up. Just pretend nothing happened.
Next question, is do you want a partner at all, and if so, what are you looking for. Most women do not act exactly how we dream they might, especially after the first year. My Mrs has improved a lot in recent years, but early days were somewhat difficult, once we got past just being casual.
Most of us on here should be sex maniacs, so I think it is important that any prospective wife is a good fuck and is horny often enough. My Mrs has only started to become really horny enough in last 2 years assisted by alcohol and the bong, and freed up from a lot of former stresses. So that has meant I can cut back on mongering hugely.
Thai women tell lies but hate men who lie. Ha Ha. If you need to be telling your woman loads of lies all the time, you are better off not to have one. I tend to omit information or say nothing more often than making direct lies, that could be detected, these days. I learned this technique from smart Thai girls. I. e. Tell the truth but not the whole truth.
There has to be a development of a large degree of trust over time. My Mrs and I would be very confident that the other is not going to suddenly leave the relationship, and we can rely on each other. My Mrs needs to be fairly sure that I am not going to run off with some young floosy for example, and that she is the one that matters.
