    I’m still down six figures. Let me know when Trump’s damage has been corrected and there’s been a slight appreciation on the year.

    And it is still well below where it was Trump took office.
    FYI:
    What Is a Bear Market Rally? What It Is, How It Works, and Example
    Bear market rally refers to a sharp, short-term rebound in share prices amid a longer-term bear market decline. Bear market rallies are treacherous for investors who mistakenly come to believe they mark the end of an extended downturn. As the primary bearish trend reasserts itself, the disappointment of those who bought during a bear market rally helps to drive prices to new lows.

    Keep in mind that Trump's tariffs have yet to actually affect the economy. When prices start increasing and the economy heads toward a recession the market will resume its decline probably well before that actually happens.

    When the markets start roaring again in another month or two the liberal weasels on here will have nothing to say.
    Unfortunately, rooting for the decline of America is apart of their sad socialistic playbook.

    There is a million of these posts from you last year to choose from of you "rooting for the decline of America". And in the cases below the economy was doing well vs now and your predictions flamed out. In fact you are preaching patience now with far worse data in your face. Oh, and I dont think you are supposed to be calling posters "weasels" anymore.

    Is that after he completely drops his big economic plan? How much money have you dumped into the markets to take advantage of your foreknowledge?

    I've lost way more than 4% since in my retirement account your cult leader took office. Knowing that he would be a disaster is the only reason I made money buying up SQQQ

    Honestly the value of the dollar and other indicators are more important to consider than the indices right now imo. But as long as Trump moderates his current craziness the U.S. will be fine, and I assume he will regress back to average.

    I’m kicking myself for not booking 17 hotel nights in Europe earlier.

    There will be long term consequences for the disruption of the supply chain the past few weeks.

    The decline of America is attributable to one person, a former economically ignorant reality television star who managed to con approximately 47% of the electorate to a victory in the 2024 presidential election.

    The market was so over bought and inflated it was ridiculous. You can’t make ridiculous claims like this.

    I am down that as well if we want to look at when the market closed at all time highs. But I am also more in over the past month than I was when I went heavy cash when the market closed at all time highs.

    Lost my 1000 shares of TSLA I bought a little over a month ago today. Was selling covered calls each week. A few weeks of nice sells and a few weeks a small sells. Ended up making over 5% in a 6 weeks which is solid. Also kind of glad to be out of TSLA as plan to move that to the most stable guys that have solid shot term returns on covered calls.

    Have some money to work with next week!

    My accounts say otherwise, but thanks for being a jackass for no reason. You should focus that energy on the individual solely responsible for tanking the market, harming the dollar, increasing China’s soft power, cutting off our access to rare earth metals, etc.

    Forgive him as he's required to defend Trump even if it's to his own detriment
