RepubliKlans now argue to keep entitlements started by democrats.
Stock market does .5% better under dem presidents. (that's huge for me, and that number is pre Obama he turned in 40% yr1)
why? A rising tide lifts all boats, republiKlans are only concerned with Yatch club boats.
For someone who knows the market as well as you do, I am surprised that you continually use that 40% number.
For someone who knows the market as well as you do, you should be well aware of why that number is 40%
For someone who knows the market as well as you do, you should be well aware that the following drop in the market was well expected.
For someone who knows the market as well as you do, you should be well aware of who capitalized on that 40% and what created that 40% and how the middle class not only did not gain due to that 40% but in fact lost much with that 40%.
For someone who knows the market as well as you do, you should stop throwing that 40% number around.
Or do you not know that market as well as you claim?
Does that mean I don't get to keep the 40% profit i saw last year?
Damned Republicans!
For some....like me, and likely you, that 40% profit offset the equal losses from the year before.
For many, that 40% profit was not seen as they were forced to liquidate all or a portion in an effort to survive.....and instead, that 40% was pure profit for those that know how to play the market.
A great portion of securities were sold off FROM retirement accounts, and the surge to buy the "great deals" was done so by the market players...and that hiked the prices back up.
The increase in many stocks had nothing to do with earnings. The increase in many stocks had to do with "great deals" based on present low prices and FUTURE anticipated earnings .
Sadly, most do not know how the market works and reacts.
