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

It is a major hurt for a lot of people. For those people who have just enough to retire in the next 2 years and then suddenly see 2 years worth of that money disappear is painful. Then to see that inflation will be coming back on top if it hurts even more.

They're now running around offering unemployed winos and illegal aliens free cigarettes and food coupons to get in the vans and go to the rallies. The media will do its best to make the tiny crowds look 'huge' on the news, herding them around behind the bimbos and fruits they use as Talking Heads these days and babbling for two minutes.

That's great... I'm not seeing any repercussion right to the VA .. The neighbor across the street is an administrator at our Local hospital just a few miles away... I asked her to please keep me posted. Occasionally there are a few protesters and they just invite them in to see if they want to volunteer.... There are always ways for community members to contribute ...This is also autism awareness month....There is a lot going on... Many things
to keep busy with...

In other words, so many things for you to virtue signal about so ppl think you're all that. We know you're not.

Now run along and join the other little Klanners in the sandbox. There's got to be a trans or Black person to throw verbal rocks at. Scoot!

Well my daughter was the head of women's affairs at a large VA hospital in the area , and got a promotion last fall ( before Trump ) and she has told me they have had cuts come down that ARE hurting our VETS and it could get worse if the cuts keep coming.
The VA hospital here has had to cut services.

Wasn't it just a few years ago when the VA was struggling and vets' health care was being delayed due to staffing and budget shortages? And #TRE45ONv2.0 said he'd "fix" it? Sure did, didn't he?

Well the CEO'S of both Auto zone and Walmart came out and said some time ago as soon as they knew for sure Trump was putting his tariffs on they were going to raise prices and pad their bottom line , and also use that money to but more product .
And if you have bought things there you might see that on some products they have.
You can bet Corporations will not only pass the increases on but add a couple percent to them and pad their bottom line and blame it all on the tariffs.

lol now the tards are claiming the tariffs won't really raise prices .... what a hoot, they can't even stick to their own story lines from one post to the next. This board needs to attract some real paleo-liberals and conservatives and lose these dufus Party shills.

Your and Clueless Richie here would love to buy some of these magic ducks I have for sale. You know even less than Richies does about business and markets.

I'm not a business guy, ma'am. I rely on experts to do it for me. If you want to know how to assassinate someone, either covertly or overtly, then I know more about the subject.

Aren't you Canadian? Why do Canucks worry so much about Trump? Is it because, like @volsrocks and @David Jeffrey Spetch, you're Canadian Skinhead?

That's all anybody does on Wall Street, dufus. It's why it's popular, and if you actually knew anything about it, you wouldn't be babbling this idiot shit. And, not every stock goes down, some still go up, and many go down a lot more than the averages do, moron.

LOL. No. That is not what everybody on Wall Street does. Long term investing means buying quality stocks and holding them for years, re-balancing as needed over time. No one holds puts or calls long term. Much of the trading of puts or calls is for hedging. I've done it myself. I've also traded uncovered options. I would guess I was trading iron condors while you were still in diapers since my Schwab account exists because Schwab recently bought TDAmeritrade and years before that TDAmeritrade bought Scottrade. Options are short term plays. Stocks are for long term wealth. Research has shown repeatedly that buying and holding will result in more wealth in the long term than playing the market. For every millionaire from trading options there are 100 people that lost money trading options. For every millionaire buying and holding diversified stocks there are zero people that lost money buying and holding diversified stocks.

As for stocks going down, I still own 300 shares of Lehman Brothers. (I doubt you are familiar with what happened to them.)

Any bloodbath for hedge funds is because they guessed wrong on what options they hold. Are you familiar with GameStop and AMC?

Real investors start companies and run businesses, they don't rent seek on Wall Street and then pretend they're 'investing n stuff'; only idiots try to claim that, dipshit.

It's like you have never heard of a guy named Warren Buffet.
Or is this your way of admitting you aren't a real investor when you say real investors start companies?

Well if you can't even see what Trump has done to this country and our economy in just over 2 months then you have to be really stupid.
Dow down OVER 5000 points, Prices of just about everything you buy are going up, and he has destroyed the confidence our allies and trading partners had in us.
YEP trump is really hurting this country.

Another thing I have an autistic son and we have been involved with Autism awareness month for years now.
Back when he was diagnosed with it the rate was 1 in 27000 kids and now with awareness increasing it is now something like 1 in 35 Kids have it. ( not sure of the exact number but it has gone way way up )

Wishing you much compassion and all that he needs to prosper. I have a g-son on the spectrum. Even before all this deplorable garbage shit hit the fan, his mom and dad have been struggling to procure services for him. He will be five this Sept. and won't start K till next year. So far the only "help" he's gotten is a once a week, one hour play group with a sped teacher. :(
