Are you counting contributions as growth?

Of course. I contribute the maximum(including the $7,500 catch up). I wish I could post a screenshot from my Fidelity app. In the last 7 weeks my balance rose over $312,000.

And yet, it is down from last fall. Go figure.

It most certainly is not. It’s at an all time high by quite a bit.

You understand that you are still below where you should be - with those contributions, that's where you would be 6 months ago? The stock market has been stagnant since Trump took office. Look ag the stock market but farther back than April 2025. Do you.... understand that? This really isn't the win you think it is. I'm up too, but I also estimate where I should be given stock market growth and I'm technically behind. Trump has NOT been good for the stock market.

I was stagnant for much of Biden’s term. I’m already a net positive for Trump’s first 5 months.

um, what? Which market you following here?

Dow well below where it was in the fall
S&P just finally got back to 6k when it was there in Dec, so took 6 months to get back to where it was
Same with Nasdaq

Honey, when you look at stock market trends, you need to expand beyond the default 5 days or 1 month view. You're embarassing yourself here.

You literally don't understand the stock market. You are growing because of your contributions. If Trump hadn't crashed the market, which it is only now recovering back to where it was 6 months ago, you would be far more ahead. Do you literally not know how to expand stock market charts to see the full year view?

All time high since January perhaps. Mine just recovered all the money that lost in the last couple of months.

Dow all time high was hit Dec 4, 2024

S&P hit an all time high in Feb, has been middling since, was already at 6000 in Dec, 2024, and is only finally getting back to where it was after Trump crashed it

Dow all time high was Dec 20, 2024

We have had 6 months of Trump and are only now getting back to where he was after he led us through a roller coaster with tariff talk, then TACO-ing out.

+1 same

My contributions from April onward certainly made money after Trump crashed the market then TACO'ed out, but the bulk of my existing assets prior to that were depressed thanks to Trump tanking the market.

“Tanking the market” = Going down 10 percent and then recovering in less than 2 months.

Someone didn’t live through the dot com bubble or 2008. Ridiculous hyperbole.

Lived through both. Stand by what I said, his tariff tactics are screwing us over. Though he often doesn't actually do what he says, from tariffs to MAHA (he'll worsen cancer with his actions exposing us all to hazardous sh*t at the EPA), so who knows when we have the LYING CHICKEN IN CHIEF!

Dow 12/2024 45,014
Dow today 42,860

that is not "at an all time high by quite a bit"

My 401k outperforms the Dow and S&P. What is so hard for people to understand? I’m at an all time high by a significant amount.
