Yes markets are rough now ….but remember Biden‘s worst year saw a 20% loss in the S&P 500

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

Right now during Trump’s first year of his second term, the S&P 500 is at about an 8% loss. Still a long way to go to match Biden’s worst economic year. Facts are facts something the cult left does not like. Remember when you’re talking with radical left-wingers, you’re talking with people who believe that an adult can identify as a toddler or that it’s OK for a kid to get a sex change operation.

Also Trumps first term was economically more successful, at least in the markets compared to Biden.

Give it time …we will be great under Trump.

I made 26 percent last year under Biden
Lost 5 percent just yesterday in Trumps Trade War

Trump is now officially a war time President. Economic war. China just slappedis 34% tariff on all products coming from the USA.

Canada is looking for new partners.

Mexico does business with the rest of the world.

Europe will look elsewhere.

It's like we are the Axis of Evil. Trump is going to economic war with the rest of the world. Maybe now we will just do more business with Russia for the 2 or 3 years it's going to take for us to move production home. And now when we look for materials to build, we have to look inside the USA to buy. That won't be possible, so we are going to pay more because those countries are going to fight back.

What's probably going to happen is trump is going to back off on any products we don't really want to bring back home. I hope. And I hope soon. I'm 100% in support of strategically bringing some vital manufacturing back home. But not EVERYTHING and NOW. What a ******* idiot.

Now we're being told to trust Trump. It's going to take 2 years. But all we see is him on the campaign trail saying two things.

1. I'm going to bring prices down on day one.
2. Tariffs is a beautiful word and won't raise prices.

Either he's a liar or idiot.

It would be nice to say that the rest of the world will just wait for Trump to leave and then we can just rejoin our old partnerships like nothing happened.

The US used to be the worlds most stable democracy. Now, the world can not trust us to keep our word. Trump may eventually leave, but there is a MAGA nut job waiting in the wings

the tariffs are just a negotiating tool .. Trumps style is to shoot for the moon and then settle somewhere in the middle .. in a few months the stock market will boom ! and with already trillions of dollars committed from private companies in the US in the last 2 months the left will be disappointed ... again ..

Yeah, the market dropped 21% during Biden's first year but that was due to the Covid problem that hit its high in the first year of his presidency. Having said that, you omitted the fact that the market dropped 24% under Trump during the beginning of the Covid problem.

What is now happening is this:

The problem with most up close market reports is that they are 90% bullshit of the moment.
The real market analysis doesn't really have a great deal of relevancy until 6 or 8 months after the fact. The built-in bounce is something that more affects the day trading crowd than it does the serious investors.

I am retired and pull money out of my 401k
When the market went up under Biden, I spent the profit
When the market drops under Trump, I am spending principle

That's actually a pretty good rule of thumb to understand the economics of the moment.

If we come out of this with a bear market for a few years it will give me greater confidence in the stock market otherwise this won't have been a correction. This was overdue. There was nothing but speculation driving what otherwise seemed to me to be irrational growth in prices over the last 2-3 years.

Good post, however...

Trump II is not the same as Trump I

Trump II won the popular vote, isn't being impeached on day 1 or hounded by hoax "Russian Collusion" narratives (made up shit by Hillary Clinton)....

Trump II has nothing to lose and wants his legacy to be that he fixed corruption, the border, and unfair trade.

This is going to continue.

In other words, if "boomers' have to take a financial hit in order to bring manufacturing back into this country - well so be it.

Trumps legacy will be that he unnecessarily tanked the economy, destroyed the US global reputation, crippled the government

Worst President ever

Nah, that honor goes to Sloppy Joe Biden and his wide open border for 4 years. Nice try.

Do you believe your own bullshit? Watch this video of Biden's open border and I dare you to say it wasn't open:

Yes, unlike the constant babble from the known Holler Monkey crowd, I hope for the best. Big picture was $2T stolen or wasted annually with no end in site. Something had to be done.

Most other countries had tariffs on USA goods. This plan makes it 10% min tariff (same as lowest), then 1/3 to 1/2 what other countries charge.

Seems like a good first step. I hope it works out (unlike the Board Stain).

Times like this

Now yes….again we are going through a rough situation. But the bottom line is the radical left is trolling this topic. We have had much greater issues during Biden’s first and only term as president. More economic turmoil. We might reach that level or worse under Trumps 2nd term, but we have not yet.

As for stocks or crypto….first something like 45 or 50% of the American people don’t have any stocks. This has long been an issue in America. There have been numerous responses to it like revamping Social Security to have those funds directed to an index fund or something similar…

Second it’s the old wise sayings…..Never put all your eggs in one basket and only invest what you can afford to lose.

I’m down substantially in my crypto investments…also down 50% on my 2x
Leveraged microstragedy…but I’m not selling. Hopefully it corrects within time however long that takes. I’m holding …not going to sell at a loss..

I recently purchased some shares of AMD and super microcomputer as well.
