Why have Republicans stopped bragging about the stock market?

[HisArpy]

OUCH!

As usual, more lies and obfuscation.

Comparing Obama's LAST 3 years to Trump's FIRST 3 years is kind of an apples and oranges thing.

We shall look back after Trump's last term and compare total job gains and see which did better as President. I'm betting it won't be Obama.

We should make it a rule (with a sticky) to NEVER post in a RoryN thread again.

You've been triggered quite nicely.

With few exceptions, they have to prop up their own threads. Best part: this is true even if they rip off one of my threads to create their own. Example below: :

You don't say?

Here’s how to tell a bear market is coming

Trying to time the market can be dangerous, but there are certain signals that the professionals look for when trying to gauge future risk in stocks which could be helpful for regular investors to monitor. Bank of America Securities curated a “bear market signposts” list for clients to help predict when stocks might be close to embarking on a bear market. The list of 19 signals ranges from fundamental to sentiment-related indicators and uses data tracking back more than 50 years.

Currently 63% of the bear market signposts have been triggered, up from 47% in January. Since 1968, when 80% of the indicators are triggered, a bear market occurred, meaning stocks fell 20% from their most recent highs.

Eventually, you will be right.

Predicting a future bear market over a year before it happens is not a particularly useful skill. Congratulations on sticking with a losing thread for a full year. You usually bail at the first sign of looking stupid.

Down 700...

 

[RoryN]

Down over 1000.

 

[RoryN]

Ended down over 1000.

Deplorables silent.

These are facts.

Aha! He is using the "broken watch" version of the I-told-you-so. Absolute genius.

Diversification.

It's a word you should look up so you actually understand that when the market goes up, you can enjoy making what's called "Capital Gains". When it goes down, you can ALSO make "Capital Gains".

Otherwise you look like a financial clown when you predict doom & gloom over market cycles - oh wait, it's you... never mind, you're a financial clown anyway no matter what you do.

...and you Deplorables look like fools when you celebrate your cult leader's supposed influence on an up market, and disavow any of his influence on a down one. Hence, this thread.

Thanks for playing - all of you. Keep it up!

There's this thing you should read up on. It's call Market Fluctuation.

Otherwise you look like a financial clown... wait, I already said that once. Too bad you didn't listen the first time.

Granted it's a single data point, but even you would have to admit that a 1000 point decline in one day is noteworthy. It's the biggest single day drop in years.

Lol, perfect.

 

[HisArpy]

It's based on global fear of a Coronavirus pandemic not anything to do with business. China's efforts to hide the truth about how bad it is there aren't Trump's fault. Nor will the news affect the market long term.

Yes, a 1000 point drop is bad, but it's not a catastrophe. FWIW, (and you can take these numbers for whatever mileage you think you can get from them) I was up almost 6200 in Cap Gains since Jan 1 this year. After today, I'm sitting somewhere just over 5475 in Cap Gains. Since I don't realize Cap Gains until/unless I sell, I haven't suffered a "loss". I just haven't made as much "profit".

Which means that while the news isn't "good" it's not nearly what you and the financial clown are making it out to be.

Further, everyone who dabbles in the market MUST understand that sometimes "the other team" gets the ball and occasionally scores. Those who don't understand that, and/or aren't willing to take the "risk", shouldn't be in the market. Or trying to discuss the in's and out's of investing.

nothing to do with business? holy smokes. do you not know how trade has been affected? samsung is moving their plants. apple is bailing out. what a dumb fucking post.

 

[HisArpy]

I also want to note that "the experts" have been saying that the market is primed for a downturn this year. All the signs point to it.

Anyone who hasn't done their diversification / allocations of their holdings based on this increasing possibility is FUCKING STUPID.

Thus if you've done this, when the market dips like today, you've already protected yourself from financial disaster.

For me, I checked this am and did nothing because no action was required on my part. My portfolio is just fine as is. That may change based on future events, but today wasn't anything to be alarmed about. Cautious yes; alarmed, no.

Samsung will begin production again in a marketplace that will be primed for new product. Ditto apple and every other global corporation out there.

For BUSINESS, this is a nothingburger.
