mikeman Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 The stock market performance has enabled me to retire earlier than I thought I could, thank you Donald Trump. General Electric is undervalued and I am going to buy-up all I can if it goes down to $10.00.Oh boy, watch out.GE used to be a huge co making hundreds or thousands of things, then they decided to "focus on what we do well", and they've been going downhill since.. That's always the sign of the beginning of the end IMO, Ford is now doing the same thing with their idiotic idea to stop making cars. They foolishly get greedy and think "you know, we're making 10K+ per truck, why should we spend billions on car mfg when we only make $200 per car?". Some day trucks will be in a down cycle and they'll be screwed. To get back on topic, it's been wonderful 2 yrs in the market, I must admit I'm thinking of pulling back, I think, now much longer can it go on? Of course I thought that a couple hundred grand ago, probably no need right now to out think myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the idiot can do nearly as well for them during his time. it tripled because it was prob cut in half and then you kept putting money in. I did see a headline that something like 45% of people aren't aware that the stock market has been rising, with like 20% of people thinking the market has actually declined the last few years, it just shows how stupid people are, and why voting is a bad thing.

You are an idiot. Truly embarrassing reading logic like this. You should have had every dollar invested at the time, but of course you didn't because..... "it couldn't help but go up"..... is not true. I could give a fukk about Obama or Trump, but just amazing to read such idiotic statements.

Always the wrong move. Stay the course. As i recall my 401k was about 130K before the crash and bottomed in the mid 60's(remember that feeling?), when I retired last year it was about 330K, so I guess I could say it quintupled, zero credit goes to obama however. Trump has shown just how easy it is if you stick to your guns and do the right thing, it's amazing, remember all the idiotic talk before the election about Trumps economic talk?..."what's he going to do, wave a magic wand"..."the best growth we can hope for is about 2%"..."we're at full employment"...""you cant just rip up trade agreements", it goes on and on, everything the libs and the media said has been proven wrong. These are the best economic and all around times of our lives, you guys better enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your good is bad/bad is good viewpoint is fairly common among people that would rather not face reality. That reality is going to be a cold slap in the face when blacks and others who have seen their lives improve, vote to re-elect trump in unprecedented numbers.
