Another Crushing Day in the Stock Market

Everyone wants six pack abs, but no one wants to do the sit ups because it's hard work. Get back to us at the end of the year and let's examine the results.
This is true and it’s not.

If Kamala had won, and she tanked the stock market, I’m so sure the republicans here would giving her ample time to self correct.

At the same time, measuring things by anything less than years is too short a window. So, it’s fair to discuss but. IAgre it doesn’t mean much until after the first 365.
 
Stop whining! Dollar general stock is up 16% in the last month, because Wall Street knows many more people are going to be using the discount stores as the only affordable means to get necessities. Car rental stocks are also soaring because investors can see how many people will not be able to afford cars soon.

Message to chat libs: It’s a marathon not a 100 yd dash. Maybe you should look past today as a pretense of what may happen in the future. Stock’s fluctuate.

We are only 60 days into the Trump’s administration. Pull your panties up and quit acting like you are a 16 year girl. Everything will be better in the end.

But he said day 1. Just another lie?
 
Just be honest. Some of y'all don't have the stomach for negotiation.
I don’t know exactly what you are trying to say. We are citizens, businesses, consumers and some of us are investors. What negotiations are you referring to?

I don’t like losing 5% of my net worth in 67 days due to pointless, stupid politics from the idiot in chief. The only negotiation I’ve seen so far is “here’s your butt-f’ng, gonna keep these tax cuts in place for the super rich, pay for em with more debt and distract your attention from that with nonsense - Doge, Tariffs, etc. Sure hope you are too stupid to recognize it for what it is”.

Sit this one out if you don't understand what's happening right now with tariffs. It's an unwinnable fight for these other countries and we know it. It's when - not if - they flinch and make concessions to the US. Which will all ultimately grow your net worth. Thank this admin later (you won't because you probably won't understand what happened).
 
What a self inflicted disaster. So incredibly stupid and unnecessary.

Yeah I much prefer the alternative of paying taxes on unrealized gains that the dumb bitch was wanting to throw at us. Be thankful your gains are in your pocket and not hers.

And, are you really this bad at investing? Or do you just lack patience and throw tantrums when things are aren’t going the way you want?

We cant have huge run ups without these dips and these circumstances create millionaires for those that have half a brain. Invest right, have patience and you’ll get your ice cream and toys soon enough
 
Cool. More buying opps for me.
You are correct, but be careful. Trump got roasted for saying that in 2015. One of my friends, an investor, said, “I can make money in any market.”

Dollar General made a killing in 2008-09. Macys/Penney shoppers moved to Walmart, Walmart shoppers moved to DG. And DG got happy.

Good lord, Dude. Do you know anything about anything?

This is why you lost last time and will lose next time too.

Well I sure hope you are right. So far the damage far exceeds the value of any concessions. We will see.

The only damage we’ve seen is the stock market take a small hit due to uncertainty. But also because the consumer is showing real signs of weakness…..been building for awhile with inflation and rates. Meanwhile the bond market has rallied and lowered interest rates.

We will see what happens going forward. One reason stocks have taken a hit is the prediction that their profitability will take a hit as a result of tarriffs….im other words they will eat whatever inflationary dynamic may or may not exist for a time. Which would lessen the impact to the consumer.

Rates being lower would help the consumer more than anything.
 
Then what’s all the angst about - Buttercup?
Because the decline in stock values is a function of what most respected economists expect - that Trump’s economic policies make little sense, will cause serious inflation, and are likely to plunge U.S. into a recession.

So, that.

If you apply this same metric then quit your bitching about the inflation during the Biden administration. That's all you losers had and it improved greatly over by the end of his administration. And, to you fact challenged MAGA nuts, inflation was a global issue.

"During President Joe Biden's administration from January 2021 to January 2025, the United States experienced notable fluctuations in inflation rates. At the onset of his term, the economy was recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a surge in demand that, coupled with supply chain disruptions, contributed to rising prices." Trump lost millions of jobs during his first term which MAGA people blame on COVID. Fair enough. Then you have to apply the same to Biden's inheritance of the situation, but you cannot understand or accept reality. People weren't buying much when COVID hit. They were holed up and millions were without a job. Companies stopped producing because demand had subsided due to high unemployment from COVID. Then COVID started to subside and people were able to come back and get work under the Biden administration. If anyone here understands business, increasing supply doesn't happen overnight. It takes time and hence there is more demand than supply (i.e. = inflation).

It's too bad that the Biden administration couldn't get the facts to voting americans. MAGA only watches Fox News so they were never going to get the whole picture.

  • Unemployment Rate: At the start of his presidency, the unemployment rate was 6.4%. By January 2025, it had declined to 4.1%, with a low of 3.4% in January and April 2023—the lowest in 55 years. Econofact
  • Job Creation: Approximately 16.6 million jobs were added during this period, with notable gains in sectors like healthcare, retail, and manufacturing. The Guardian
  • Manufacturing Employment: The manufacturing sector saw an increase of 791,000 jobs, reflecting efforts to revitalize domestic production. DOL
Trump was handed a pretty good economy and he is driving it into the ground like he did with his company four times over. He has the wealth that he has because of daddy. He could have parked his inheritance into a savings account and come out better, but he is a reckless loser. All flash and no substance. Hopefully we can survive this bumbling idiot and all his fascist minions. My fear is that many of these countries that we are targeting with our tariffs are going to take their business elsewhere. China. We are not the only economic game in town anymore. And our withdrawal from NATO is pushing the Europeans to band together so they will become a unified military and economic group because Trump is butthurt and picked up his toys and went home. Money is power and influence. Once we stop with those, then they have no reason whatsoever to listen to us. And, I hate to break it to you MAGA idiots, but we are not the only military game in town either. The French, Germany, Britain, Belgium, etc. have bombs, planes, submarines, troops, etc. just like we do. The world can only handle one superpower at a time. USA, Russia, and China is a recipe for disaster. Trump thinks that Putin and he are the same. Putin is playing him like a fiddle. Once Ukraine falls, because we pulled support, Putin will then try to continue to push west. Western Europe isn't just going to sit around and wait for the invasion. They are going to respond and then it's an all out war. And why? Because we pay more in NATO than other countries and Trump, who is as dim as anyone ever in public office, doesn't understand that we do this to keep the aggression of a totalitarian country at bay. Putin is playing the long game of global domination and Trump is helping him because he thinks that the he and Putin are equals in intelligence and wit. Not even close. The only way they are the same is brutal and corrupt.

Then put your big boy britches on and make make a decision - invest, sell, pause, etc. As someone said earlier, “maybe you just need to sit this one out”.

Pretty sure you won’t get your answers here. Nothing is guaranteed in life.

You are incredibly condescending. I said twice I’m not selling, so your insult is both childish and uninformed. Those terms describe most of your posts so it’s hardly a surprise.

I am not looking for answers. Haven’t asked any questions. Shared my thoughts.

Then just b!tch about the 5% you’ve lost …but actually haven’t lost. Then you can continue to call Trump more names and be critical - that’s certainly mature and informed:

“ I don’t like losing 5% of my net worth in 67 days due to pointless, stupid politics from the idiot in chief.”

Point is, if you are going to give it, be prepared to receive it. Quit b!tching and figure it all out, everybody is in the same boat. It’s a “childish and uninformed” look on your part.

Or just suck it up & say your scared and don’t know what to do, that you need help and continue…
 
Is that what you did when Biden was President? Just “sucked it up and figured it out”, right?

LOL … you were here bitching and calling him names all day every day.
