Don't make definitive statements about things that you're only tangentially knowledgeable about.

Many employers have 401(k) plan administrators who re-value their employees' holdings daily and allow the employees to make investment changes any time they want to do so. And I'm not talking about only mega-sized companies. My wife's company with about 500 employees had that kind of flexibility with their 401(k) plan.

Up 50% in first by May 31 in 3rd year of Obama versus 25% for same period of Trump. More than doubled under Obama.

I guess you're just going to ignore that the Dow Jones was up just under 50% last week from its 2016 election day close.

Even with last week's and today's pull back it's still up over 40% since election day.

You're not even trying to be honest.

You guys make no sense... When the market goes up everyone dances around saying Trump is great. When it goes down its not his fault. Can we all agree that the president (of whichever party) often has very little influence over the market, whether it goes up or down?


That’s because we understand markets and corrections.

Depends on if you mean on a daily or weekly basis or as an overall trend. The President has much to do with the overall trend but not as much on the short term basis.

So I don't agree with you.

Hope it wasn't in tech sector. I trust the president's decision making as long as he does not let his pride get in the way. I am a broker and all of the fundamentals look great for a booming market. It is a shame the trade war is dragging us down a bit, but what a position to be in as we are now if you have to have a trade war. Remember if presidents before would have not been retarded we would not be in this position.

Dude... I've been buying like a mofo. Anytime the market corrects itself and you aren't scarfing up stock, you are either dumb or broke. Keep spare cash in savings for moments like these.

If we took the posts when the market is down and add them to those when it is up the Dow would be at 2000.

Why is that?

I will give you back the last week or so if you give me all of the last 2.5 years.

Trump campaigned on making china raise the value of the yuan.

During nk negotiations it appeared trump agreed to stop expecting china to raise value of yuan in return for china sitting on kim.

Today china lowered the value of the yuan.

Do not react to swings in the market. Do not invest in stocks if you can’t afford dips because they will happen. And the market will always swing up again don’t invest what you cannot afford. The stock market isn’t a personal checking account.

Not speaking directly to you. I’m speaking to the idiots on here who think a dip in one day is going to cause wide spread panic. Perhaps amongst the “day traders” who don’t know anything about investing and market strategy. The stock market is a long term strategy. You do not sell when it goes low. You keep it there.
