[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm starting to think the only one making money this year in the market is the President and his inner circle. [/quote]

Maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.[/quote]

You’ve been selling, then?[/quote]

What are you even saying?   The S&P is up 8% YTD and 30% since around this time last year.  Anyone with money in index funds is making a lot of money so the comment was ludicrous.

No I don't sell, I buy and hold.   My net worth has gone up a ton since Trump took office (and it has nothing to do with him).[/quote]

You haven’t made (or lost) anything until you sell. The question is whether you will sell at the right time.

I am not arguing that this is the right time—I am pointing out to you that the cumulative impact of all of these circumstances will not be fully realized until it is time to sell.

Good luck.[/quote]

You are saying that investments that are not converted to cash don't count?  Is that the argument you are trying to make?  I buy and hold, so therefore I have nothing?[/quote]

Count for what?

Do these price increases “count” for your net worth as measured today? Sure, of course.

Do they count as having made money you know for sure will be there when it is time to spend? No, they do not—until you sell.[/quote]

I’m not selling for years down the line.  The market goes up over the long term.  Net worth is the way you track financial performance and it’s very much tied to how the S&P500 is doing.  The S&P 500 has done particularly well over the last decade and certainly the past year

This all started because someone said that they thought the only people making money in the market this year were Trump and his inner circle.  You agree with that?  If so do you know how delusional you sound? [/quote]
