Some people like getting screwed


I think there are a lot of people out there that like watching other people get screwed. It levels things out. Brings those people down to their level.

The boomers did what they were bred to do, be spoiled greedy arrogant assholes only benefiting themselves. They were the kids of the greatest generation and got everything handed to them on a silver platter, what did anyone expect? For them to all of a sudden think of others?

Dude, this is time to buy. Millennials getting into stocks on the cheap will make big reward in years to come.


That is my mentality. These events really help those who are further away from retirement. I, selfishly, want this to last a little while so I can get more and more money into the market at this downturn. A millennial should be much more worried about the gains 20 years from now than right now and market drops like this are when you can maximize those future gains.

Isn't that why many boomers are working to 70+? They didn't save a dime in their 20s and 30s and they had little to zero debt from college to pay off.

What liquidity does a millennial have right now to throw at stocks? I imagine most are more worried about rent in the coming months.

Never said it was generational buying opportunities but late March the opportunity was equivalent to 2016 levels. I would rather buy when the DJIA is at 23,000 than 30,000. If this is a once in a generation economic downturn as the OP quoted then it will drop further and last much longer. 20%ish off of ATHs is not a once in a generation event.

9/11 and Katrina were the fault of Boomers?
