How is your brokerage different from a retirement account. Is it also not another form of retirement account?

401k / IRA (ie deferred tax retirement). Some of this money also isn’t able to be traded easily intraday
Brokerage — all non-retirement money for a home / etc in future. Cash / ETFs and easily tradable

Kamala sure can’t win now that Powell has set us on a course for a major recession or mild depression

I know that this board is probably high income and tends to be rather aloof but the recession for normal people has been going on since mid 2023. The sound you hear as the market goes up is income inequality

If there is any silver lining to this is that hopefully it will help refocus the election on the economy
Trump wins if that happens

Interesting. I don’t ever think about my brokerage as anything other than long-term savings excess of what can be invested in tax advantaged accounts.

Silver lining? It’s a couple days of down results. Markets need to have down days to be healthy.
These days in August will have zero impact on the Presidential election in November.

Keeping think that
Reagan
Clinton
Obama
All say hello
If you can’t admit that a down economy is detrimental to an incumbent ticket I can’t help you

Why is this political BS on the MTB.
And no shite, a poor economy reflects poorly on the current administration.

Any chance this is intentional, in case Trump wins, to saddle him with bad economy?

Politics and economy/money are intertwined and it’s an election year.
Move this to the political board if you want
Still doesn’t change the facts

Jeff Snyder calls everything post GFC a silent depression. There are now two classes of people, asset owners and tenants.

What a down draft...!!! Its been a bit over due.
In anticipation of a roll over I sold a large amount of my S&P positions on July 19th and took profits. So far that looks like a good move. At the same time I put in a buy order to get back in at a 10% lower price. I'm half way there as of Friday, 8/2. Bought two fixed income at 5.0+% and am buying into Private Equity next week.
Time will tell if I'm doing the right thing.

So we had two pretty bad days with the market and suddenly there are a ton of knew MT posters spouting the doom and gloom stuff.
I'm not surprised.

I think it's probably more the economic indicators than the market.
Rising unemployment, albeit from a low level, comments from companies like Amazon, Delta and McDonald's that the consumer is pulling back, fairly weak manufacturing data.

I put more money in every Tuesday. Like clock work. Even after the last week still up over 20% since January.
Posted on 8/3/24 at 5:18 pm to tigerbacon
Yeah, I'm nearly 100% invested. I don't put money in the market that I'm planning to need in the next 5 years.
