Why have Republicans stopped bragging about the stock market?

[BabyBoomer50s]

lol, Trump crashed the market, and you talk about investing advice.fuck off moron.

Sorry to clobber you with a dose of reality Fuzz, but the advice I put forward is personal finance 101. Trump’s tariff actions have been the primary cause of market turbulence and I don’t support those actions.

That said, the fact remains it is VERY to risky be 100% invested in equities if you need to draw from those investments in the near term. It’s a shame you’re too ignorant to understand basic investment considerations like risk tolerance, time horizons, asset allocation and liquidity.

Great, but the subject is Boomers having to draw from investments while Trump crashed the market.Unless you can show me the market crashed due to fundamental issues ....moron....

 

[Fuzzy1975]

Gaslighting is BabyBoobs forte.

Suggesting that America has been in this situation before, or faced the challenges / crises that DonOld has created, is pure gas.

The market has crashed before, but not due to one man's stupidity....

Your financial ignorance is astounding. Boomers in retirement (myself included) should not be 100% vested in the stock market. Most of their retirement income should be in fixed income investments. For most individual investors, the stock market should be part a long term investment strategy.

This chart should help you understand the difference between short term swings and long term trends. Hopefully it’s not too complicated for you.

lol, you or I might be positioned well, (I've lost more than I suspect you hold, and I am in no way "hurting"), but the fact is you cannot point to one single fundamental for the stock market to have tanked.

Instead you have posted and goal post moved the whole time...fuck off moron...

I have done well with Palantir Technologies (PLTR)​

I bought in a couple years back in the $7 range and this last weekend it went past $124.

For now I am holding and not selling.

And that “one man’s stupidity” occurred / is occurring as: America’s “Babyboomers” are reaching retirement en masse, the national debt is unsustainable, China is threatening America for the top economy, etc, climate change is reaching the breaking point, there is a "pandemic" of human migration, there is an unprecedented potential for mass famine / starvation, there are actual pandemics, AI is a looming potential danger / threat to economic and social order, there are hot wars in Europe & the Middle East, with Asia potentially joining the mix, authoritarianism is on the rise, etc, etc, etc…

And DonOld’s stupidity / sociopathy is exacerbating EVERY ONE of those challenges/ crises.

DonOld is the wrong / worst "man" for this moment. Full stop.

I don’t rely on liquidating my equity ETFs to pay my bills. My income draws from laddered bonds, CDs, other fixed income investments. That’s been recently augmented with a monthly social security check.

No goal posts have been moved. The investment principles I articulated are time tested and mainstream. If you have 100% of your retirement assets in stocks, that’s nuts. You really should speak to a fee only financial advisor.

BabyBoobs omits that DonOld CAVED after DONOLD manufactured the crisis.

Side note:

The negative impacts of DonOld’s tariff and trade fiasco have yet to fully manifest in the domestic (and global) economy.

Thing should get "interesting" June - September…



And then there is the REPUBLICAN budget fiasco…

Market fluctuations happen. You lefties don’t understand investing.

Market fluctuations happen. You lefties don’t understand investing.

Market trends happen too. Which is why people are moving money to the international markets.

BabyBoobs STILL hasn’t figured out that decent, intelligent Democrats are NOT “lefties”, and that many of us understand saving & investing enough to retire comfortably at 52.

Racist Rory

Elizabeth Holms riots] Geez, the case hasn’t even gone to the jury and the rioters in CA are already looting the high end fashion stores. If the verdict goes the wrong way the streets of Walnut Creek, San Francisco, and LA could be filled with blondes in black turtlenecks. Not even going to guess how this would all go down if she were black.

Trump accidentally admitting that Walmart thrived under Biden is funny.

If your source is a drunk or a senile racist or both, they're most likely wrong. Just a hunch.

Nope. It's definitely Amerikkka and its dollar declining into the abyss.

But, hey, the Orange Pig family is making a killing on the crypto market, so all is fine in MAGAt world.
