A final look at how the U.S. stock market performed under Joe Biden

[Dante]

Here we get a look: A final look at how the U.S. stock market performed under Joe Biden.

It's incredible how great Biden has been. There are numbers in the linked article. People who care to have an objective look at things...

To be sure, Biden’s presidential term began in 2021 with an escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic and an economic downturn. The major stock averages still posted double-digit returns by the end of that year, as the global economy began its recovery from the pandemic, while the Federal Reserve maintained supportive monetary-policy measures first implemented in early 2020.​

​

But in 2022, Wall Street suffered its worst year since the 2008-09 financial crisis amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while the U.S. economy grappled with soaring inflation and higher interest rates.​

​

Then in 2023 and 2024, a tech-fueled earnings recovery and the artificial-intelligence frenzy propelled U.S. stocks to historic levels. The S&P 500 scored back-to-back double-digit annual gains by the end of 2024 — and is now kicking off its third year in a bull market.​

On a personal note, and this is not meant to sound as though I'm gloating, I'm just sharing my results, I finished 2024 up 12.4% on my portfolio, which is outstanding and far and away one of my best years over the past 25, and all I heard about during that year was pissing and moaning about the price of milk and eggs and how Americans could not afford to live.

So far, 18 days into 2025, I am up 4.54% this year, (also outstanding) which shows the economy is full of optimism of a Trump administration as well. These gains are well above what I ever saw under 8 years of Pres. Obama, where I saw steady progress but yearly growth of 2-4%, at best.

That the stock market did great under Biden is not a positive for Biden and the Democrats when the middle class and poor struggled so much.

The stock market is a good indicator of the health of the stock market but a poor indicator of the nation's financial health.

I'm middle class, and because of the Biden economy, my wealth increased.

I'm not sure what else I can ask of a President.

Rising interest rates, bad for many, have been good for me. Thanks Joe!

Watch Biden's face when he tells the reporters about their God damn lives. He is one nasty SOB. Glad he's gone, and so is the world. They just can't get enough of Trump!!! This is a movement. This country wants Trump to succeed in his endeavor to take our country back from the lying, greedy swamp.

Biden took office and started throwing money around like a drunk teenager with her moms credit card. Everyone got some. That's what caused inflation. Inflated prices usually result in increase profits. Increased profits result in higher stock prices. So maybe Biden's inflation did benefit the stock market by redistributing wealth from the poor to the rich. But throwing money around like that isn't sustainable or sound economic policy. When the cost of living rises, and the poor's ability to pay falls, and government debt grows, and SS-Medicare continue toward bankruptcy, and the dollar's status as the worlds reserve currency is in question, and politicians can't even deny a free half a million dollar sex change operation to an illegal alien, I wouldn't be crowing about Biden's economic acumen or the stock market or the killing you made on bitcoin. We're millionaires on borrowed money. That's not good.

It's all about cause-and-effect amigo, and it's pretty obvious you don't have a real good grasp on that concept.

The stock market under President Obama tripled.

You must have picked too conservative investments.

You seriously underperformed in 2024.

I am more than happy with my "underperforming" 2024, and I'll be just as happy if I underperform like that in 2025.
