You figure Biden's Stock market is good?

[dblack]

Say, how you think your 401Ks are doing, in real life? Sure, they're up about 10% since December, sounds great and all, but the reality is,, the DOW is up as low as 7% since 2021, and that's three years ago.

So with that in mind, the stated (BS) inflation rates for the 2021, 2022, 2023 years are 4.7, 8.0 and 4.1 respectively. Do the math that's 18%, or 18 cents on the dollar. Then figure in some of that 2024 inflation (standing at 3.1, in govt. (BS) terms). So just call it 20 cents on the dollar, close enough to make the points. Nuff said right, 401K (7%-10% increase) lags behind stated (BS) inflation (20% increase).
Suckers , me included.

Check this out too...

The DOW finished December 2019 at 34,874......................Then COVID hit, all bets are off. Say, did you know the DOW increased 65% in 2020 after it had sunk? Pretty good right, I was actualy surprised to see it happen, we can thank govt., big pockets, swindles and globalization. Some left-ish tried to say Biden was responsible for that increase, geeeezuz. Anyway, the DOW has been on the upswing of late, nice (BS). The DOW is currently 39,150. So, it's risen just 12 cents on the dollar (12%) since COVID (Dec. 2019). That's not even 3% a year compounded, CDs get better than that, geeezuz.

Now compare that 12 cents on the dollar for investments to the stated (BS) inflation of 20 cents on the dollar. Heck, we even get to pay taxes on the investments.

That sound like a reflection of the great economy the left tells us this is, all while the grocery store etc. whisper in our ears the govt stated 20% (BS) inflation on the dollar since Dec. 2020 is a load of bullshit?

There's no such thing as "Biden's stock market". Nor "Trump's stock market". Neither has that much control over the economy, and they shouldn't.

Got to buy it in bulk. We just bought a 1/4 cow for the first time. Filled our little box freezer and will last us a year most likely.

Yeah I agree...best way to do it

 

[justoffal]

Whether Biden is responsible or not, he will be blamed at the ballot box. Such is the reality of politics.

Yep..... It's not always correct but it always happens.

 

[Orangecat]

Yep..... It's not always correct but it always happens.

Trump took a hit for Covid, and he had nothing to do with it. All the drones were repeating the nonsense ”his response to it” as the problem.

Biden’s economy is terrible for the working man. We can throw on the astronomical price of a home, rent and the price of a home loan to your points above.

It’s true that Bidenomics did cause the inflation. He messed with oil and that caused everything to cost more. However, if you are in the stock market for the long term including throughout retirement, check this out: since 1926, Republicans controlled the government 13 times. The stock market averaged 14.52%. The Democrats controlled the government 34 times. The stock market average, 14.52%. Keep the goo and your retirement separate with respects to making retirement investments.

Hey Franklin, MOST Americans were ALREADY in a purchased Home before prices went up (trump previously praised himself for higher home prices...huuummmm)

So MOST people aren't purchasing a new home.

How do you conclude Covid was a Trump failure? Define failure?
You are full of hot air. Trump did everything the CDC and Fauci wanted when he wanted it. He removed the FDA's time and testing requirements so the so-called vaccine could be made as fast as possible and distributed as soon as possible around the world. Harris-Biden simply took it over and played political football with Covid spending more money that wasn't necessary causing inflation even greater than it had to. Then, Harris-Biden shut down key oil opportunities and redistributed the oil 180 degrees opposite of what Trump had done that kept oil prices down. The fact is, when Harris-Biden did this, that is what gave OPEC the opportunity along with Venezuela to increase the price of oil. That alone caused inflation to skyrocket as well. It also gave Iran and Russia hundreds of billions of dollars to start up wars again in the middle east as well as Ukraine. Again, what was Trump's failure?

Trump had no vaccines. Biden mandated vaccines, and more died under Biden, even though COVID got weaker.

 

[otto105]

They want you to believe if you’re smart like “them” and you bought a few stocks at the “bottom” you would be rich!

Risk your life on one home O silicon valley led company, put all your life savings on “black” like we the smart people did. In reality we see 4-5% gain per year on average 401K target funds (with 30% bonds) during Obiden 2 is what you got. A big see-saw (chaos like Obiden 1). Down 22% in 2022 to offset any big upswings.

The DOW was 6500 when President Obama took over. It was 19,000+ when he was termed out.

If you failed to invest in that, that is on you.

 

[g5000]

Trump had no vaccines. Biden mandated vaccines, and more died under Biden, even though COVID got weaker.

Every Covid death is on Trump. He allowed the virus to run untracked and untraced, giving it a huge head start.

The vast majority who died under Biden were idiots who refused the vaccine.

Trump opposed tracking and tracing. He called Covid a "Democrat hoax" and then held some rallies, killing Herman Cain in the process.

Then he wanted us to vaccinate with disinfectant! And shine a bright light into our bodies!

"This is the new Democrat hoax!"

February 26, 2020: "And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

February 28: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

"If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.”

"When it gets warm, historically, that has been able to kill the virus." The apathetic fat bastard went golfing in Florida, at taxpayer expense, the very next day.

"I take no responsibility."

"And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too."

"I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning?"

“I had an uncle who went to MIT who is a top professor. Dr. John Trump. A genius. It’s in my blood. I’m smart.”

Nonsense. He restricted travel from China just days after the first US case, and the Dems called him a racist for it.

Fact is, there is no stopping a respiratory virus which mutates quickly and has animal reservoirs. The whole approach of lockdowns and masking and vaccines was nonsense. Protect the vulnerable, and everyone else live normally. It was another flu.

The geniuses did pretty much the exact opposite of what they should have done. Sent old folks to infected centers, shut down gyms and parks, made everyone shop at Walmart. They dragged it out forever.

Neither Trump nor Biden are virologists, and the blame mostly lies with China (or the US NIH funding of the Wuhan Lab), but Biden is a dictator and Fauci enriched himself.

[That will be my last comment here since I've noticed I am way off topic for this thread. Sorry about that. I'll see ya over here.]

 

[g5000]

It's amazing you fools still parrot that horseshit.

In the worst years, influenza kills 50,000, but ordinarily far fewer than that.

It is simply astounding there are people like you parroting Trump's "kung flu". Covid is NOTHING like the flu.

Influenza has an R0 of 1.27. Covid has an R0 of 5.7.


You remind me of bripat9643 and so many others who thought Trump was so awesome that he would not bungle things and would have fewer deaths than Obama had with H1N1.

That's why bripat is in my signature. He was another victim of Fox News propaganda, as are you.

 

[Moonglow]

In real dollars (adjusted for inflation), DJIA increased 44% under Trump

Under Biden, it only increased a total of 6% in 3.5 years!

Trump made us rich. Biden's giving people a pay cut and cancelling people's retirement!
