    I am one of those that trades stocks and watches inflation data. I believe the economy will get worse before the election. So I am moving my money accordingly.

    April was brutal. In election years, April and May tend to be down. However, it is starting to come back but then it will correct again later this summer, most likely September.

    Not too smart to base your investment decisions on your political biases.

    Who said I did? The facts are inflation is not coming down as quickly as the Fed wants. Interest rates are not coming down in June as expected. That seems highly unlikely now.

    I am mostly a day trader. I couldn’t care less which direction the market goes. I make money whether the market goes up or down. More volatility makes me more money.

    nothing sez I'm Smart! like intentionally trading the most informationally efficient mkt in the world.

    Speaking of which, I recently met a PhD in electrical engineering. She was doing research in optimal placement of solar panels. She took that knowledge & used it to trade electricity futures & made a fortune & she isn't even 40.

    p.s. How many turtlenecks do you own?

    That’s outdated. I wear mostly jeans and T-Shirts. My clothes don’t match my car and house. ;)

    Guess it depends on how much you earn. Inflation is out of control. Overall prices are up 20%, rent is up 21%, food is up 21%, and electricity is up 28%. So I guess it depends on if you can afford those increases.

    LOL ... We are in April and we are down 2% from it's record high ... how very, very "brutal" ... You must not have been around for Bush or Trump if you think 2% is "brutal"...

    It was brutal when I lost more money than most people earn in 5 years. I overexposed myself as I didn’t expect Israel and Iran to start throwing middles at each other, and other news that hit my holdings. I will recover just fine though.

    I don't think any of these paid for "protests" playing out all over the country is helping Biden. Along with the other economic bad news... he's still cooked come November.

    It’s going to be amusing if he has historically low approval and wins anyways lol.

    Yeah, amusing, but also very unlikely to happen. CNN has Trump +6 today. I guess the strategy of holding the former POTUS hostage in a cold Manhattan courtroom isn’t working too well.
