Why have Republicans stopped bragging about the stock market?

[HisArpy]

...and, as today's market gradually goes into the red again, Deplorables disappear.

Really?

I dunno about you, but I'm in positive territory today. Not by much, but - winning!

Of course you are, derpy. *pats your pointy head*

Anyone who held ViacomCBS stock on January 1st will not see an overall profit in their portfolio this year. Whew. Talk about a plunge!

Median household ( not adjusted for inflation) income for the nation has been increasing every year since 2013, but the year-to-year increase from 2017 is smaller than the prior three years. Previously, increases ranged between 1.8% and 3.3% annually.

Ummmmmm. Who is stupid enough to think it us wise to not adjust for inflation. Want the link? Here.

Sentier Research? Hmmmm.....where have I heard THAT name before?

Oh yeah, over on FactCheck.Org: Trump’s Shaky $5,000 Boast

Numbers not supported by underlying data. Gosh, who knew?

The real gain, as calculated by the Census Bureau data, was 2.7% or $1638. Better that Obama's numbers, to be sure, but you'll recall Obama inherited the Bush recession and a Congress determined to sabotage Obama at every stage.

I'm sure the PatriotMath folks will be along shortly to argue that $1638=$5000 if you squint really really hard.

I expect that from you and the lefty loonies, if any info goes in Trump’s favor you bash it. Personally, I put out some research compiled from census bureau statistics by Steve Moore. Take it or leave it.

Didn't read the article I linked, did you Spanky?

Steve Moore parrots sketchy Sentier "research" based on overbroad interpretation of a single Census question.

With that in mind, I'll "leave it".

Damn those facts and their liberal bias...they get you every time, don't they?

Down 800...again...

 

[HisArpy]

Down 800...again...

And, again, all the leading indicators pointed to this happening this spring. You must be daft to not know that.

 

[Adre]

And, again, all the leading indicators pointed to this happening this spring. You must be daft to not know that.

Then why’s your President blaming the media for the precipitous drop?

 

[RoryN]

And, again

...a 3-minute triggered response from a Deplorable in this thread. Yes.

all the leading indicators pointed to this happening this spring.

Play again? lol

 

[coati]

And, again, all the leading indicators pointed to this happening this spring. You must be daft to not know that.

So, as an ambulance chaser, you were privy to "leading indicators" about the corona virus?

Now tell us about how "daft" my local community was for investing in local food and energy production.

 

[Pookie]

And, again, all the leading indicators pointed to this happening this spring. You must be daft to not know that.

All of the leading indicators pointed to this happening? Please, do elaborate, counselor.

 

[SusanHaack]

It's a buyer's market.

 

[RobDownSouth]

But...but....Professor AJ said the Stock Market is actually a TRAILING indicator of economic activity and he has as many university degrees as you do!

One of you two must be WRONG!


Edited to add:
My bad, it's a "trailing indicator" only when a black man occupies the White House.

 

[Adre]

It’s always fun when GB wackpackers wade into financial and economic waters.

(It’s generally over their heads.)

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Not yet.

Derpy would do well to put RoryN on ignore so he's never tempted to embarrass himself in this thread again.

 

[Conager]

No one believes any of you GB Deplorables are serious stock players.

I repeat...


No one believes any of you GB Deplorables are serious stock players.

We know better.

What is a "serious stock player," playa?

I've never heard any investor refer to themselves in that way. Were you never at least the token hire at a corporation with a 401K matching program? Do your two "college educated friends" have any investments? Maybe the next time they are spending time with 5heir one, (pary) black friend, they can feed you some jargon and buzzwords so it can sound like you know anything beyond, "DJIA up _______ points today. . ." (hide) or "DJIA down ________ points today. . .." (gloat)

What kind of a bitter loser celebrates when the value of millions of Americans retirement investments drops, even if it is only a minor percentage?

It’s always fun when GB wackpackers wade into financial and economic waters.

You haven't had an intelligent comment about anything related to economics or investing since you canceled your subscription to the Journal. One would think a purported, fabulously wealthy, early retiree living off of Investments could afford that.

 

[Adre]

You’re still working, right?

 

[RoryN]

It’s always fun when GB wackpackers wade into financial and economic waters. (It’s generally over their heads.)

When you're a socially-inept Deplorable, putting on a front of being financially savvy / successful is a must. It's your "saving grace".

So it's actually kind of shocking how ignorant these fools are on the subject.

Derpy would do well to put RoryN on ignore so he's never tempted to embarrass himself in this thread again.

I'm his god. You can't put God on ignore.

 

[SusanHaack]

Not yet.

Well, I'm buying cuz it's creeping back up again.

 

[Bas_van_Fraassen]

How's the DJIA, the past few days?

 

[pointless]

Well, I'm buying cuz it's creeping back up again.

ummm....

 

[RoryN]

Nothing to see here - just the worst one-day point drop in history.

 

[SusanHaack]

ummm....

Lol, bought some today and anticipating buying more early next week. Not trading on the major markets, anyways. Markets won't stay down for long, six months from now i bet they're up again. Better odds than the lottery, besides i don't buy more than i'm willing to lose. The corona virus won't make headlines forever.
But if you have any reasons to think the markets won't go back up i'd love to hear them.
