What are your oil investments.
That dude just makes shit up. He posted this "brag" about 50,000 six months ago and has been on defense since then.Are you afraid to say?

I listed three of them. Maybe read the posts before yapping. The greens have slammed oil stocks, saying they’re going to fall off a cliff, but here they still are. Going strong decade after decade. Losers go after the newest shiny thing.That dude just makes shit up. He posted this "brag" about 50,000 six months ago and has been on defense since then.
About 3 months in he transitioned his argument from "Trump's a miracle worker in the stock market we will all be rich" to "I am so smart I can make money in Trump's shitty market". Total 180 from his OP and a claim he cant back up while we can all see where the DOW is objectively.
Dude anyone can list things they swear they own "after" it increases.I listed three of them. Maybe read the posts before yapping.

This post makes no sense.Repost it
The standard response is…”I already did, find it yourself “
Rather than simply telling us his positions, you will deflect.
I was a teacher for a short time in my 20s. I've been in real estate for 35+ years. We could live any way we want, but we choose to live modestly because we think it's the right way to go. Until last year, the book value of all five of our vehicles wasn't even $10,000. I got the new red RAV 4 as a gift to my wife. We have a lot in oil b/c 30 years ago, it was on fire. Exxon split every five minutes. Our basis is so low, it never made sense to sell, even though everybody advised us to do so and 'diversify'. All the greens said oil would become obsolete and crash. I said I would believe it when I saw it, and consequently never sold. That's why it's gone well this year. It's not that difficult an explanation.Dude anyone can list things they swear they own "after" it increases.
Look you're a former teacher who drives a Rav4 not a New York stock broker making money with inside tips and trades. Like me you are likely invested in a broad range of funds rather than heavily into any stock or sector. Our money generally moves with the indexes. I want them to go up. Therefore I want Trump to stop being an idiot, end the war in Iran, reduce trade barriers, patch up our relationship with foreign allies, support legal immigration to bring more customers to the US, stabilize the debt growth, and stop stealing money from the US coffers.
That's not too much to ask. Then we will see growth rather than 6 month of stagnation when companies saw $180B of tariff refunds.. we should have seen a large bounce in stocks from that.
Just a note on 30 years of Exxon. From the end of 1995 to end of 2025 the Exxon stock has risen by 493%. The S&P has risen by 1,025% during the same time. You’d have started 2026 with double your money if you moved out of Exxon 30 years ago and put it into S&P.I was a teacher for a short time in my 20s. I've been in real estate for 35+ years.

From 1996-2010, XOM outperformed The S&P handily. The advance of technology stocks coupled with Chimpy’s war on fossil fuels caused it to lag behind during the teens. Since 2021, it has rebounded nicely, especially since EV subsidies disappeared. People are back to understanding how important oil is.Just a note on 30 years of Exxon.

Hey guy, iif you’re going to “check in” when the DOW drops 900, are you going to do the same when it gains 900 the next day?Checking in… still under 50,000 five months after Mashmont ‘s OP. Is it still a “huge win”?

Hey guy, iif you’re going to .”check in” when the DOW drops 900 , are you going to do the same when it gains 900 the next day?

There is always a "deal" on Friday's that no one is aware of other than inside the President's mind... then it tumbles on Monday when it doesnt materialize. Rinse and repeat. But sure... maybe this is the one time. lol. Rubes crack me up.Hey guy, iif you’re going to “check in” when the DOW drops 900, are you going to do the same when it gains 900 the next day?
