If an 8-9% dip is so stressful for you, maybe you shouldn't be in the stock market, because these kinds of swings and worse happen all the time. Remember when 0bama and his crew tanked the market by 50%? I had a buddy who lived and died on every swing. He had maybe $100,000 invested. As the old casino adage goes, you can't play with scared money. People below a certain threshold sweat every little valley. Stocks aren't for everybody. Perhaps fixed-rate CDs like we got for my mother-in-law would be better suited for you and Winco. Just a thought.

Why should people pay for Trump's messed up foreign policy.

"Pay for it"?

Like the money they lost they actually put into it?

Get a grip.

It's their money in the markets, and it is going down.

So, of course, they are 'paying' for it.

You know that Trump has no concept of what living hand to mouth means at all.

I did. What's going on does not economically affect me at all, but I can remember when it did.

The market only recently climbed so they made money in the market.

Then they lost it. Tough.

I've lost money. Not money I put in.

So, of course, they are 'paying' for it.

The market just took it back.

You know that Trump has no concept of what living hand to mouth means at all.

Nobody living hand to mouth is in the market.

I did. What's going on does not economically affect me at all, but I can remember when it did.

The market giveth...the market taketh away.

Sometimes short term pain is necessary for the long term good. What do you think happens to the stock market in the event of a terrorist attack? The stock market is a man’s game. If you are going to panic and complain at every dip, you shouldn’t be in it. Go get a CD.

You made the thread. Is it still a "win for Trump"? Is a swing up a big event so monumental you made a whole thread on it, but a swing down isnt important enough to make a simple post about it? LOL. The cult is strong with you. How about we just discuss the fact that investors HATE Trump's actions in the middle east? Just like Tariff actions make investors sell.

They just asked for $200B to spend in a weak bond market. We are all paying for it directly and indirectly with investment and efficiency losses. Trump is using terrible policy.

And if you can't afford to lose it, don't invest it.

Market returns are based on future expected returns broadly. Trillions of dollars are being bet that Trump’s policies are terrible for business. You are talking about people’s risk for market fluctuations not the intentional actions of Trump to kill value in America.

You missed that part about taxes didn’t you?

The market is what it is, responding to fear and uncertainity.

And Trump strokes that all the time.

That's your answer to why voters should pay for Trump messing up with forever wars?

You idiot.

I have done very well in the market and will continue to do so, knowing how to ride market waves.

But my ability does not excuse Trump's neo-con forever war messing with it.

One simple post? It’s like several complaining posts a day. Smart people have oil stocks. They've always outperformed the S&P and they're exploding right now. Sorry it hasn't happened for you, but dips happen all the time. A 9% drop is nothing. It happens every year. That's why I recommend a less volatile type of investment for you.

Some investors are doing very well right now. Maybe you're not, but many are. I have nothing to complain about in 2026 so far.

Thank you, Mr. Trump!

Thank you, Mr. Trump!

You left off Exxon and Chevron. Each up about 33% for the year.

Much like gas prices!

 

[Mashmont]

Much like gas prices!

I'll take that tradeoff any day of the week.

 

[Greenbeard]

Of course, a tanking stock market, higher gas prices, higher everything prices, an energy crisis, frozen job and housing markets, a new forever war—who wouldn’t take that? They said it couldn’t be done!
