/——-/ “What do 401ks and other retirement type accounts invest in? ”/—-/ I’ve tried to explain this to you before in simple terms you can understand. I’ll try again. The market averages you gleefully cite are meaningless unless you only invest in the exchange ETFs. But if you invested in individual stocks then you can would have gotten decent returns in spite of the Dow averages. I know it’s confusing. Take your time and study this chart. Biggest Stock Gainers Today (TOP 50 LIST) - Dogs of the Dow/——/ how do you factor in dividends, splits and options in your economic review/—-/ I don’t deny Trump may have said the Dow at some point but he generally says “stock market” Trump: "the reason our stock market is so successful is because of me"
Is the stock market successful right now?
The Russell 2000 is down 15% over the past year.
The S&P is essentially unchanged.
The DJI is essentially unchanged.
The NASDAQ is down over the past year.
Does that seem successful to you?
It is not an economic review, it is a review of the stock market. Do you find negative growth to no growth over a 12 month period to be successful for the stock market?
A simple yes or no will do.
What do 401ks and other retirement type accounts invest in?

If you actually had a 401k you wouldn’t ask such a stupid question. There are unlimited possibilities with all the options depending on who is managing it. It’s like asking what does everyone have in their refrigerator.

You tell meHow's the Russell 2000 ?The Dow Jones Industrial Average is only calculated with only 30 companiesTell that to your 401k account.you will PROBABLY be ok G5000 !!
Trump and his lickspittles were happy to take credit for the Dow before. Strangely, neither he nor his lickspittles want to take credit now...
There are literally thousands of different companies who trade stock publicly and thousands more mutual funds and exchange traded funds
So what 30 companies are doing is pretty irrelevant
I have no idea because I don't care.

Funny my portfolio has averaged 9% return over the last 5 months/——-/ So? It’s an average of 30 companies, you dolt.
And the Russell 2000 is an average of 2000 companies and it is down 15%.
/——/ My Garage is exactly where it was last year- in fact for the last 60 years. Should I buy, sell or hold? I value your opinion.

Last year, I had to take my first mandatory withdrawal form my 401K. it amounted to 1/30 of the total in my account.
Guess what dipshit?
As of today, my account balance is HIGHER than prior to my withdrawal.
What will the next one show?

Give it a couple of months, then get back to me. Mine paid 9% on one,8% on the other, but that was last year.Inflation is under control, prices have not gone up , unemployment is at a historic low and the DOW hovers around 26,000 but the crazy angry left continues to be willing tools of foreign agents bent on undermining the political system. No surprises here.
Nice .. You should be on CNBC to tell us how you did it Meanwhile in the real world they're figuring in up to 3 rate cuts by the fed Now why would they do that?? No recession worries ??Funny my portfolio has averaged 9% return over the last 5 months/——-/ So? It’s an average of 30 companies, you dolt.
And the Russell 2000 is an average of 2000 companies and it is down 15%.

Rate cuts by the feds have some but little impact on a balanced portfolio
If you are in it for long term investing the minor ups and downs you people obsess about all even out.

People obsess about those averages just like you do.
In the long term they don't matter so much

I fully agree But I owned AAPL at 232 FB at about 220 and a few others bought years ago I just don't like seeing them fall as much as they have because of a mad man in our WHNice ..
