If only Americans can buy the dip, Trump is better! This is your answer? What a putz. Ok, Marie Antoinette! |
Why didn’t you look at the starting point and end point of the Dow during Trump’s first term and Biden’s? Why didn’t you disregard the 401k balances of everyday Americans? You ignored these things because you know the result will confirm that those everyday Americans did better under Trump. It’s not a political thing, it’s a math thing. |
The focus on the Dow is so odd. Regardless, the stock market and SP are way up under both administrations (and for Biden, this was despite having to deal with the post-COVID economic landscape that impacted most of the world). Anyway, the fiscal and monetary policies of Trump 2.0 do not reflect those of Trump 1.0, hence the fear from his own supporters from the business community. I would not expect a repeat performance here. |
Stock market not way up under Trump 2.0, just getting back to where it was under Biden, 6 months later. I will take steady growth with dems over unsteady accelerated growth + market crashes. Remember 2008? And still, your point was essentially "time the market" and you'll earn big! I am actually guessing you may have Asperger's if you struggle to comprehend why this isn"t and shouldn't be a strategy for the average American. |
I know that. The focus of the prior poster was Trump 1.0. Hence the reference to the starting and ending points of each administration. |
I did it for you. The Dow grew 56% under Trump. The Dow grew 40% under Biden. Both my 401k and investments outperformed the Dow under both. |
The Dow completely stalled under Biden for TWO YEARS. |
Trump inherited a growing economy. Biden inherited COVID and had to fix what Trump left. Kinda hard to compare the two, really. |
Because Trump left an economic disaster and COVID for Biden to clean up. Fixing economies takes time and Biden had to manage the ecnomic shocks related to the supply chain issues, and despite that, left office with the best economy in the world. Trump has twice inherited growing economies and frankly, he probably would get more of a pass on the gestapo stuff if he just left Biden's economy alone. |
Because of Trump 1.0, the moron-in-chief. |
Omg PP, I am glad the point did smack you as it sailed over your head. |
The stock market is not the economy. |
Oil futures surging on the middle eastern conflicts.
So much for cheap gas. |
All of this. |
S&P 500 is at an all time high today. Too bad I sold all my stocks and put everything in California municipal bonds in early April because this board was freaking me out. Guess I can’t retire now. |
