LOL LOL I guess you didn't check on your investments when Trump was in office. ![]() |
Way too many landmines in this battle to prolong a recession/crash for two more years. Ok a jobs report came out in Jan looked strong. Another one comes out tomorrow. Inflation and interest rates off the charts Fed playing catchup,,, market down 18% since early December. Two year bills yielding 5%.. tech is already topped out and primed for a dump |
Keep telling yourself that. |
They did better than Biden's miserable two years. |
Only about 58% of American adults have any stock investments at all. |
Stop making this political!!! They are all crooks, why can’t you die hards understand this, you fall for it, get all worked up and it’s all about votes, they don’t actually care. Take what is given and make money with it. Remember when a stock goes up or down, someone is making money and someone is losing money. It’s not a one way transaction!! |
Yeah but only a third of the electorate even votes. |
You are way off, 67% voted in 2020 |
Ok, so? That's not a "market crash." ![]() |
Whatever that was a record turnout |
Historically about 60% votes in presidential and about 40% in midterm elections. |
Not whatever, it’s been above 50 percent for the last 50 years dummy |
I'm planning to ride it out, because I'm not planning to retire for about 20+ more years. So I don't intend to sell all my stocks and rack up big capital gains bills now just so I can buy them back again later to avoid drops in their value on paper. But good luck, OP! |
Over on Hacker News they are talking about the failure of Silicon Valley Bank, and it’s illiquid long dated treasuries.
With the rapid rise in internet rates, almost all the long dated debt over the last 2 decades have taken a HUGE haircut, so suddenly many banks and such will be under capitalized and the Treasury market is much less liquid. Couple that with debt ceiling shenanigans and possible China dumping UST as political stunt or even prelude to Taiwan attack, and the US could suddenly have no way to pay its bills and could collapse. |
And it was in response to only 58% of American hold stocks. Since only 60% even vote I’m betting there’s some correlation. |
