Trump approval plummets to levels seen in midterm wipeout

[Meister]

Sorry if I’m skeptical of people on the internet making big claims about their investment brilliance when those claims are pretty outlandish.

Making a 4-7% dividend return annually, especially in bad years, it’s not realistic. It’s even less realistic to claim you’re making average 5-7% returns.

Your claims are just not very believable.

Dividends usually don't waver, unless there is a serious problem in the company and they
have to cut dividends. Kinder Morgan and Ford are examples of this.
5-7% growth in the company is not unrealistic, sometimes it's 1-2% growth, other times it can be 10-12% growth. Year over year it works out to the 5-7%. Not unrealistic at all....especially when investing in the blue chip stocks. They are large well
established companies. Coke, Chevron, JPMorgan type of companies.

You don't have any idea that you are paying for your fund manager.

You assume the worst worst worst for everything he does, and then when it doesn't happen you will be on the next panic topic of the week.

And like a good wibble SJW lemming you ignore my other point.

"I spend all my time defending Trump"

Yes, it's a constant.

Kind of shows you how pathetic the Biden/Democrat years were when he left office with 37% approval numbers to Trump's current 43% and the democrat party currently has a 27% approval rating, doesn't it?

Trump was in the honeymoon period (ie first 100 days)

Trump holds the worst approval rates at this stage of presidency than any president in history...

Can we also say that Trump's average approval ratings during first term was worse than Biden...

Defending his positions that I agree with.

Leftists are unable to comprehend people can think differently than they do.

5-7% growth is totally realistic, unless you're also expecting 4-7% dividend returns over the long term. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

You're just talking shit because you ran out of rational responses.

You have no idea what your opportunity cost is. You're too lazy to do it yourself.

Or maybe too scared.

I pay people to do things I don't have the time or inclination to do.

So everyone who has a 401k is an idiot in your book?

VTI has an expense ratio of 0.03%. It's nothing compared to the 1% people pay wealth managers for poorer performance.

You forgot to acknowledge that Democrats currently only have a 21% approval number.

I have a 401k but I don't pay anyone to manage anything.

Why do you think it takes a lot of time to do?

Replace inclination with intelligence and maybe you have a point.

Dude, management fees are included in any 401k. You really think people do things for free?

Employers would pay any management fees in a 401k, but paying someone to tell you what to invest in is just fucking stupid.

Or a good use of money vs. a person's own time.

You must be one of those rich trust fund people that can take the time to make their own mayo and ketchup and sneer at people using store brands.

This isn't a dead cat bounce, the market found its bottom and moved off of it.

We shall see on that one.

You have no idea how much it costs so how can you claim it’s a good use of money?

I do my own investing. You’re the one trying to brag that you pay someone to do it for you because you just can’t possibly be bothered to do the work yourself, not realizing it takes a minuscule amount of time.

I don't pay anything beyond what the 401k and the funds charge me or my company for their services.

Dude, scratch off lottery tickets are not "investing"

First you said you pay people to do it for you, then you say you don’t pay them anything.

Are you lying or are you clueless?
