S&P 500 falls to -8.5% since Jan 20 with market selloff

The market is still up 30% from two years ago. We’ll see where it lands but I’d be curious to know what bonds have come anywhere close to that performance in two years’ time.

 

They didn’t come close to that but at this point in my life I’m not taking risks like I would have even 10 years ago. The bonds and CDs have been paying 5+% yield and on the bonds I’m getting price appreciation on the bonds as rates come down.

 

bunch of radical leftist commies who hate america. Lock them up!

 

Not to me. It means that optional items are being deferred. Naples isn't the DIY demographic. I had a HOA complaint filed against me when I did a complete brake job on my truck..lol.

 

Trump is going to sign an executive order telling the market it has to go back up

 

Going to be illegal to short patriotic companies.

 

I can get behind this

 

Time for Congress to revise the 1962 Trade Expansion Act. No way that ONE PERSON should dictate tariffs like this guy is doing!

 

Maybe we should go back to this: “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;”
Sincerely
The US Constitution

 

Amen!!

 

from what I read, when it gets in that 5500 range buybacks are going to take the place of capex

what happens to gdp when capex gets cut?

would help create a floor until the gubmnt shutdown blows a hole in that

 

Nothing to worry about, lots of cheap stocks to buy and you can cash in later. I'm sure the same was said in 1929.

 

And to ignore the fact that the Economy was smashed by Covid is disingenuous when trying to talk about market performance under one President compared to another. Regardless of who was POTUS the market was going to do pretty much the same thing regardless IMHO.

FWIW I’m no Trump fan and I think the way he has handled the tariffs this time is idiotic.

 

Just pointing out the obvious that you want to ignore.
