Retirees 'stunned' as market turmoil over tariffs shrinks their 401(k)s

[Truth Detector]

The sky is always falling for the mentally ill leftists, but only when a Republican is in charge. When Democrats fuck everything up, they wallow in it.

Only the most ignorant among us wish for bad things to happen to America. I wish all leftists would just kill themselves.

You FINALLY said something that is true.
IF your dad would have used one or your mother would have swallowed you wouldn't be here to make that post.

And it is still a fact the economy does better when we have a Dem in the W H then when we have a Republican in the W H .

We'll have to wait and see what happens when the US markets open.

Meh.

That’s exactly what’s he’s doing to all of us.

You are not a federal department, Phanty.

They are already filling in the USAID that we have abandon, winning the hearts and minds of the African nations and South American nations.

You are making shit up again, Phanty.

 

[Into the Night]

Lol, that’s not what’s happening. The people in charge have no idea what they are doing.

Trump certainly does...that's why you're squealing like a stuck pig, Phanty.

More mindless chanting. Buzzword fallacies.

for the most part, people count on selling their stock to cash out their value.

Many people count on the dividends from their stock. Most people never fully cash out their stocks, but merely sell small parts to sustain themselves.

People are generally looking to sustain themselves in retirement, not cash completely out. So the question becomes how. If you take out between 2% and 4%, usually the gains in stock value will take care of that amount, and inflation. That way, rather than cashing out, you have ever greater amounts of money in your retirement.

Like Trump who has more money than 5000 people would ever need*, people who don't have money, much less dividends, could care less if those living on savings or dividends lose money.

You are just like any gambler. You only talk about your wins, but never your losses.

I did lose over $4 million yesterday, but have made more money than I lost.

The point is that I have put away over half of my winnings, so whatever happens I will be up from having trump be president. I want to thank you for that.

 

[Walt]

Must suck to be a gambler, betting more than he can afford.

I took out 5% of my money to "bet" it, and have replaced more than that. 5% is not more than I can afford, and I am not even "betting" that anymore.

Advice from a gambler.

I guess there is gambling in any investment. Having said that, had I left everything in the normal stock market, I would have lost quite a bit of money right now. Hedging that investment a little has saved me money.

I am sure. Its easy to claim that after the fact. "Glad you were smart enough to get 95% out before the crash."

What we are seeing with trump supporters is people who have little to nothing wanting to get revenge on those that prospered in America.

That's part of it but notice they admire Trump and Elon for cheating their way to the top of the money heap.

If anything, all of the bullshit over the past two months has proved there's no such thing as the Deep State. If there was, Trump would have been stopped or died of "natural causes".

I only got 5% out, but I invested it in stock options that would do very well when the market went down. So 95% of my money went down like everyone else, but 5% of my money was initially multiplied by 12, and has since been multiplied by a few more. My Roth is about twice what it was before, even with all the market losses.

I put my money where my mouth is, or at least 5% of my money. When trump promised to delay the tariffs against Canada and Mexico for 30 days, everyone acted like he had promised to cancel them. I realized trump was going ahead with them, no matter how much damage it did to America. This insight into trump has helped me a lot.

Worth noting that I was posting about this all while I was doing it, and am continuing to post about it while I do it. I guess you could claim I did not really do it, but you can not claim I did not predict everything correctly, BEFORE IT HAPPENED!!!
