Trump approval plummets to levels seen in midterm wipeout

[Marener]

What's beating the market? I look for a 5-7% increase, with steady year over year dividend increases.
I'm not greedy and won't chase stocks. I'm a buy and hold with an occasional sell.

Do you honestly not know what it means to “beat the market”?

Just invest in an index fund and you’ll almost certainly get better results.

Give up the ego.

But did you beat S&P500 index over the last 14 years?

I don't even look at the market that way. I'm not out to beat anything.

Just because you aren't smart enough to figure it out doesn't mean others can't figure it out.

Which means you are underperforming S&P500 index

Almost no one beats the market. But somehow all those people seem to be in this thread!

Warren Buffett is basically the only one that has ever consistently done it and none of you fuck ups are him.

Is It True That Almost No One Can Beat the Market?

The stock market is the market for buying and selling stocks. It consists of stock exchanges, indexes, investors, and speculators, to name a few.

You guys arent connecting the dots. The stock market is down because educated investors see that tariffs will destroy the economy. That is the issue. The wealth loss is a side effect of a deteriorated economy. Try being a little smarter please.

Just an opinion, but when enough stock prices have gotten low enough the EXTREME RICH will scoop in & buy low.
When they have enough the tariffs will start going away or change in some major way.

So you do pay someone, huh? Funds aren't free.

Like I said, I have blue chip stocks, and the portfolio is well diversified.
I pay no one. Except for an occasional sell of a stock that is usually a
spin off of another stock that I own.

If you have a broker, it’s because you’re not smart enough to handle your own money.

Playing the market is not the same as trying to beat it.

the person you responded to talked about dividends, people who play the market for the ups and downs, the closest you can come to trying to "beat it" don't care about dividends.

They deal in daily to weekly changes, shorting, and other strategies Soley based on market value and changes in that value.

Rightwing organization, Newsweek, is reporting that Trump's approval has plummeted to the levels that saw the republicans wiped out in 2018. Cites the vastly unpopular tariffs and sky high recession fears.

Looks like Trump will only have another year and a half to totally trash this place.

Donald Trump's strong disapproval rating surges

Trump's approval rating has taken a notable hit, with disapproval numbers now mirroring levels seen during the 2018 midterm elections.

www.newsweek.com

According to pollster Harry Enten, Trump's disapproval rating is currently at a similar level to November 2018, when the Republicans lost the House in the midterms and the Democrats gained 41 seats. At the time, 42 percent disapproved of Trump's job performance, according to Enten's analysis.

Now, that number stands at 43 percent. According to Enten, that could be a bad sign for Trump, who is still more than a year away from the next round of midterm elections.

Newsweek is “rightwing”?


LOL you people are nuts.

Ask me if I care. Along with my 5-7% increase with my principal, I get a
a nice 4-7% dividend even in bad markets. Do the math.

Or you just don't have the time.

My investments are all in my 401k, I check it quarterly to see if I need to start moving funds over from stocks to bonds/money markets/debt vehicles as I get older.

No, I don’t use anyone. I buy broad based index funds. My gains over the long run are almost certainly higher than yours.

DO you really expect anyone to read a word after this opener?

I bet your dick is bigger too, right?

It’s an extremely expensive way to save “time” since those 1% management fees will add up over time and will result in a 20-30% lower portfolio at retirement.

It takes almost no time to buy index funds and rebalance to bonds.

Good for you.

But if you own a fund, somebody is managing that fund, and he/she doesn't do it for free.

The odds that you can beat the market consistently over the long term is minimal, and that’s IF you’re a professional investor with access to information and time to invest in analyzing it.

Big Money makes money, They always have the information needed to do a better job.

Sure you do. A 5-7% rate of return and a 4-7% dividend rate is beyond credibility. Especially over any appreciable amount of time.
