Yeah all because I think this thing has been done poorly.

Lucky strikes =/= doing something about it
Actually taking Kharg Island is absolutely something that Iran can do something about. There is a reason we haven’t even tried to do it yet.

:lol: that’s not true at all.

I'm well aware of the patterns and 4 year cycles it goes through.
How many rolling 5 year cycles has it underperformed SP500?

:lol:, I’ve got 3% of my NW in crypto, mostly BTC. It used to be 5% of my NW. I’m not rooting against it.
I’m sure you totally expected it to underperform stocks over a 5 year stretch back in 2021…
Bitcoin has underperformed S&P500 over the last 5 years now - is it dead dead?

Over half of current supply was bought at a loss at these prices.
What’s the point of 3-4x more volatility with less than market-level returns?

This wasn’t a shitty decision. The shitty decision was trying to get tariffs done under this clause. There was a better, iron clad way to do it that Trump ignored.

The fact that you are adamant that Powell and the Fed have botched it since 2022 is how I know they did well.
Stock market at record highs, and according to Trump the economy is booming and inflation is of no concern, yet we need Powell to leave?
History will look back fondly on how the Powell Fed handled interest rates from 2022 onward. They will not look fondly on how they handled rates in 2021.

re: Buy in now before it is too late! Trump says the "stock market is going to boom"

Oh the Trump put is alive and well. He’s shown throughout his 2nd presidency that if the market throws enough of a fit - particularly the bond market - he will walk back whatever policy he is pursuing that is causing the pullback.

Specific fund pricing is not the market index. Fund holdings are weighted even in total market funds. Invidia makes up more than 6% of VTSAX, so fund performance is weighted toward certain individual stock performances. Funds are not an even sweep of an index. Same for FSKAX
How do you think the S&P500 works?
Regardless, I agree with your overall sentiment. Small and medium sized companies are outperforming and lifting the “total” market.
Now do houses…
ETA - but yeah, commodities like fuel and aluminum haven’t kept up with inflation over long runs (as in since 1980). Pretty nice example of technology driving down costs over time.

The S&P Index is up 5% YTD. That’s the broadcast measure of health of the Financial Markets. I’m sure it will be up by at least 20 % by year’s end. Our financial future looks great.
The S&P500 is up 1.7% YTD. 20% for the year would be a tough hill to climb with valuations but I’d love to see it.

He's obviously bullshitting about thinking he was a Red Cross doctor. But that doesn't make what he posted blasphemous. People should be wondering why he's trying to draw attention to the Red Cross.
Pray tell… :popcorn:
Thank God Trump thought he was just a member of the Red Cross or else this would have really upset all this anti-woke Catholics.
