How to use lose in a sentence?
It can be very easy to get caught up in the euphoria of a stock market boom and lose sight of reality or behave irrationally, it is always wise to utilize stock market booms to trim investments that have appreciated significantly and use it as an opportunity to rebalance back to your target investment weightings.
When economists run various economic models, they get estimates that it will slash U.S. GDP only by 0.1 percentage point, that would be true if this tariffs would be imposed only for a year. But you don't know how long this will continue. Such uncertainties will surely affect companies' spending and hiring plans. Markets are worried the economy may lose momentum earlier than previously thought.
Courtesy Veronica Fletcher Veronica Fletcher:
To be able to usher my children through this loss, it comes from 40 years of pain and knowing what that little nine-year-old girl needed and received, to lose a parent is traumatic, and the way the parents were lost during the pandemic, to have to grieve in isolation, that compounds the pain exponentially.
I don't want my integrity and honesty to be impugned, this is a lie, an absolute lie. Okay? We will win, or we'll lose -- we do it honestly. I really dislike people suggesting, what? We're going to bring in students from out of state, who are going to perjure themselves by saying they live in Iowa?
The issue where they lose me is hypocrisy, what I think is unacceptable is to vote a certain set of rules as an elected official and then to violate them yourself. But if you are a Democrat, Republican, whatever, and you vote to allow people to do what you do, then I have no demand that you become public.
