Why have Republicans stopped bragging about the stock market?

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.

samsung and apple are 2 of the top companies in history. you said something really dumb and probably should just shut up.

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.

Use your Google-fu to search for "50-day moving average" and get back to me.

Stocks closed below the 50-day moving average, which triggered technical sell-offs today by big institutions. It's basically an indicator that there are fewer buyers than sellers overall.

But as Trump sez, nothing but good times ahead!!

Biggest case of wishful thinking since BotanyBoy decided "2+2=5"

When did I decide that??


Oh I didn't....you're just lying again.

In an unrelated thread I'm not really part of, because I'm living rent free in LilMaoDownSouths head.

edited to add: Not everywhere as it turns out. No appearance in Smoot's erection failure thread (yet, anyway). Probably hits BoBo a bit too close to home.

dudly, I already said that ALL THE SIGNS have been indicating a downturn for months. Your attempts to put this on Trump shows that you lack that keen market savvy that's needed for an investor who wants to profit.

if there's been a downturn for months then that still puts it squarely on trump's diminutive shoulders.

Not even at the first correction territory yet. I agree, a tech sell-off as well as people using corona virus as an excuse to take money of the table.

One of the ways people make money in the market is to periodically sell then reinvest only their original capital. That way they get compounding returns right up to the point they sell while minimizing their risks. If they don't reinvest the distributions, they don't get that compounding effect.

The offset for this is that they pay higher transaction fees. It's all about the number crunching and watching the market almost constantly.

Doing that is too much work and stress for me. I'd rather do my background research and diversify my portfolio enough that my "average return" is "above average" with "moderate risk".

Too much success

There may seem to be less bragging about the market but that is not because there is not a lot to brag about. I think that the problem President Trump is having is that he has had too much success in so many areas that it is hard to get time to highlight it all.

But he warned people that there would be so many victories that people could get sick of all the victories. Of course he said that as a joke but really it is amazing isn't it? Especially since the swamp creatures have never stopped their mindless attacks.

But I am really glad that the markets have done so well. My husband and I knew that if he won in 2016 that we would be able to make a lot of money in the market and we have. If he lost in 2020 we would pull everything out because the market will plummet if a liberal wacko comes into power. But the candidates have demonstrated how nuts they are so it seems pretty likely that we don't need to worry to much about that.

i'll let you pick which one of these lies to be true. pick one ~ but only one ~ don't get greedy, little troll boy.

Yes, that's the hysterical laugh of the financially stupid that we're hearing.

you should go to the hearing center to get that checked out, old man.

Don't worry, I already did and my hearing is good. Unlike your financial expertise.

US bonds are a good place for other countries to park money/ fed rate 1.75%/ corp earnings solid/ this is a China anomaly. Could push some high tech manufacturing back to the states ( APPLE/BOING/NIKE )

TRUMP SAYS STOCK MARKET HOTTER THAN EVER AS DOW JONES FALLS 1,000 POINTS ON CORONAVIRUS FEARS


He also claimed the “CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart” on the outbreak.

The stable genius had spoken.

If it does, the shift will only be temporary. China cannot afford to lose their monopoly on technology and/or technology theft.

If BlackObama took credit for the economy

Then BlackObama is at fault for the downtrend

On a good note, the market opened higher this morning.

Another idjit without a clue speaks up.


The market is HOT and has been for a couple of years now. It's been hitting historical highs and setting records. Business is prospering and dividends are mostly matching projections.

Everything is working like it should without any Government involvement or "propping".




The CDC is working on solutions to the Coronavirus. If you think they aren't you need to see a doctor to see if he can figure out how your brain got disconnected from the inside of your skull and vanished.

Why is this a "good note"? This has happened the past 30 years after a steep one day decline, bargain hunters enter the market.

Also, why is a one day drop "not a bad thing", but a one hour upwards bump a "good note"? Trying to have things both ways?

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

Today:

LOL...and thus, the reason the thread exists. This example and others will now be re-posted ad nauseam.

Once again, thanks for continuing to play.
