My Portfolio Today

Just got crushed! Dang, where's brain-dead Biden who stumbled around and let the markets do their thing.

Of course my regular monthly investment went in on Tuesday, dang market timing!

   News flash; The stock mkt dropping isnt crashing the economy. 2nd newsflash, exactly a year ago to date the market was at precisely the same place is it today. I dont recall any of you low IQ Democrats screaming at the sky then.

News flash, we were riding the wave of post-war prosperity in 1951, and the Dow closed at $257.  The point isn't the absolute value, it's the relative change.

Where's your evidence that Democrats have a lower IQ than Republicans?

I didn't say anything about the economy, but I understand you only have the talking points your MAGA Facebook posters spoon feed you.

Seriously, David, why do you even try to match intellect with me? Sigh.  I'll help you with investing just like I had to teach you how tariffs work.

On Jan. 2, 2024, the S&P 500 was at 4,472.83, and on April 3, 2024, the S&P 500 was at 5,211.43. So if you had invested money on Jan 2nd, by the time April 3rd rolled around, your money would have grown by 16.5%

On Jan 2, 2025, the S&P500 was at 5,868.55(notice that this number is higher than the April 3, 2024 number, which is good for investors), on April 4, 2025, the S&P500 is at 5,074.08. So if you had invested on Jan 2nd, you would have lost 13.5% of your money.

To make it easy for you to understand, in 2024 it would have been like going to Vegas and winning money(has that ever happened to you?). In 2025, it would have been like going to Vegas and losing money. 

The reason the low-IQ Democrats weren't "screaming at the sky then" is because they were making money.

I'll leave you with this thought, there is a psychological phenomenon called the Dunning-Kruger Effect. It describes how people with limited knowledge tend to overestimate their abilities while those with greater expertise underestimate their knowledge. Which kind of person are you? You show it every day with every post you make.

  You are right - there is no way I could dumb down enough to match my intellect with you. You are a "victim" of what Euripides said -" talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish". 

I completely blew your ignorant post out of the water, crushing your MAGA belief state like the cockroach that it is. 

  All you have done is reaffirm your ignorance - which is considerable. 

I'm off to the casino, I'll let you know whether it's a Biden stock market day or a Trump stock market day. Let's go Brandon!!! Max wants a royal, woop woop!!

Thank goodness I live in the free state of Colorado, adults get to choose to do adult things if they want to.

Good luck in Black Hawk.  Stay warm.
