A Lower Midterm Stock Market Is A Sure Bet - But your bet?

Nah, I'm doing fine. I'll let you 'experts' make the ridiculous bets and lose your shirts. You need bailing out every 7 years or so. $400 plus for a stock earning nowhere near a reasonable return is for morons. Why not just go to a casino and keep betting it all on black til you lose? Save yourself some time and trouble.

AMD has over 1.6 BILLION shares outstanding. You really think there is a genuine market payday in there?

Well said. Comparing investing into a company to gambling is laughable. Even if one thinks X company is overvalued or w/e metric they are criticizing. AMD is an amazing company.

Navitas semiconductor has also done me very well. We are in the early stage of a chip boom.

Even if my chip companies lose 50 % in the next 6 months i’m still ahead. Plus I’m invested into the sp 500 long term. In general I hold my stocks long term.

I have done remarkably well tis year in semiconductors and AI. Ill expect a correction in late Dec or Jan. When the war resolves the DOW and economy will take off. Oil comes down inflation comes down and democrats have a nervous breakdown as the economy thrives right before the mid terms.
AI data centers and fossil fules and nuclear energy are the foundation of strong economy.

Well historically during the Trump years this has been a good time to invest. But also let just have it go from springtime right until the end of the year.

The past four weeks by the way have been unprecedented. Incredible returns in the market especially on AI. Now I’ve always said this is not a political thing. If the markets doing good, it’s doing good. I don’t care if it’s under Biden or Trump. And the fact is that stock market wise Trump has outperformed Joe Biden, Obama, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush.

Of course not all Americans own stocks. And there’s plenty more going on outside of the stock market to judge a politician on.

I had this discussion with Luckyone. He’s the type of guy who claimed that the stock market will crash and people will be crushed. Well It didn’t happen during Trump‘s first term and during the years of his second term so far. But there’s still some years left on Trump‘s second term so let’s see what happens. But for now the stock market has been performing above average under Trumps years as potus. And there is no way around this point nobody can say the stock market has underperformed under Trump….This isn’t like arguing for healthcare or minimum wage. It’s either there or it’s not as we can all see the numbers.

The stock market performs well over time for everyone and doesnt measure the economic fortune of most Americans, however, it does give ammo politically for candidates to brag or take flack for the economy.

Uncertainty during election cycle does put pressure on stock market in midterms which is probably why you see the market weaken like I showed.

There was virtually no difference in Trump's first term and Obama, and Biden returns. If you add second term to date to his first term Trump is much worse. Your misleading yourself, or trying to mislead me, with that statement.

“Presidents from Herbert Hoover to the present are ranked using the S&P 500 stock index, whereas earlier presidents were ranked using the Dow Jones Industrial Average due to data availability.”

The Best and Worst Presidents (According to the Stock Market)

Which U.S. presidents oversaw the best and worst stock market performances? Just for grins, let's see what a 'stock market Mount Rushmore' might look like.

I agree that the market was OK under Obama , Reagan and Biden. This is strictly a numbers game and all we have to do is look at the data. Yes, Donald Trump outperformed all of the mentioned previous presidents. I acknowledged that the stock market doesn’t affect every American as huge numbers of Americans don’t own any stocks. It’s not necessarily a metric for measuring the working or middle class.

Let’s wait and see how Trump‘s second term finishes for further numbers. But again this past month or so has been incredible. This is why sticking to the market long-term is the best option…. those anti-Trump people who got scared and sold when Trump won his second term missed out on massive gains especially if they had AI stocks.

Some of the greatest returns in such a short amount of time in the market. We are in the early innings of the AI boom according to a number of experts and business leaders.

Important to never listen to know it alls who compare the market to casinos. Such folks are also anti capitalism.


AMD and Navitas are in the early innings as well. Imagine investing into Navitas a few days ago!
