Well there is your answer. You are talking about once the Fed took over and started lowering rates and you are also including the Trump bump in October 24'. What I am telling you is that if you compare apples, it is not comparable You are saying you made more money over a four year period than over a year and a half period. Well of course you did, especially if you are DCA'ing (adding to your 401k) into a down market. At this point in Biden's term the stock market was tanking.You would have been down on your investments. We went from early 22' to almost the end of 24' before we hit new highs in all of the index's under Biden.

Trump literally hands you gains if you’re paying attention. Buy fear, because his greatest fear is a stock market that’s NOT booming.

My word!!! UGLY!!!!!

So this is what’s happening?
I hope we’re done with it by tomorrow!

When people talk about over-leverage crushing high-growth stocks like Nebius, they are usually referring to a toxic mix of both margin and options. Both tools allow traders to control a massive amount of stock with very little of their own money.
Here is how each one works, and why they turn minor dips into absolute bloodbaths.
HOW MARGIN WORKS
Margin is simply borrowing money from your broker to buy more shares.
* The setup: If you have $10,000, your broker might let you buy $20,000 worth of stock by lending you an extra $10,000.
* The catch: The broker uses your shares as collateral. If the stock goes up, you make double the gains. But if the stock starts dropping, the value of your collateral shrinks.
* The crash: To protect their own money, the broker issues a margin call. They demand you deposit more cash immediately. If you cannot, the broker does not wait; they automatically sell your shares at the current market price to get their loan back. When thousands of traders get margin-called at the same time, it triggers a massive wave of forced selling.
HOW OPTIONS WORK
Options are contracts that let you bet on stock movements for a small fee, called a premium.
* The setup: Instead of buying 100 shares of a stock for $17,000, you might buy a call option for $1,000 that lets you profit if the stock rises.
* The market maker: The large institution that sold you that option is taking on a massive risk if the stock rockets up. To protect themselves, they buy actual shares of the stock as a hedge.
* The crash: If the stock price starts falling, the option becomes less likely to be profitable, and the institution needs less of a hedge. They immediately dump the shares they bought to protect themselves. This institutional selling drives the stock down even faster.
THE SNOWBALL EFFECT
When a high-growth stock drops slightly, it triggers a rapid chain reaction:
* As the price dips, institutions dump the shares they were holding to hedge options.
* This sudden drop triggers margin calls for regular traders.
* Brokers automatically liquidate those traders' shares, driving the price lower.
* The further drop triggers even more margin calls and option unwinding.
This is why growth stock sell-offs feel so incredibly violent. It is rarely just people choosing to sell; it is automated systems forcing them to sell.
