Worst single day dow drop ever :)

Wow. Do you always lie to yourself to make yourself feel better? Is that how you cope instead of offing yourself? I suppose next you are going to lamely attempt that you have not identified yourself as a lawyer also right? Billing out $ 300 an hour? How about the pride in your family owning slaves at one point? Going to try and deny that also? Seems like you are either having mini strokes or just your typical shit or go blind moments.

Are you Trump? You lie and brag as much.

You are a childish jerk. Most people live paycheck to paycheck as anyone with firing neurons can discern from seeing who owns stocks. You are a baby. The stock market is a tool for the wealthy.

95 million Americans are invested in the stock market (40% of workers). Many employers dropped pensions for 401(k), 403(b), and IRA's. The retirement accounts of millions of workers depend on the market's performance. I guess those workers are greedy for wanting a decent retirement.

He is just upset because all of those people will be able to support themselves in retirement and not rely on scraps from the government. He wants company.
 
Its interesting how herd psychology untethered to rationality drives prices of each security. When a broad market indicator goes down, each specific stock takes a hit not on bad news about
the economy or any particular news about that company, but only because people heard that the "market" is going down, so they sell in the expectation that their stock will go down,
a self fulfilling prophesy. I have some AMZN and some COF, nothing but good news, yet they too took a hit. No rational reason for it.

Why do you brag so much anonymously online?
We know you are Sea Captain with a bunch of ships, you have many emplouees who you reward handsomely with bonusses
every year, your brother is a Federal judge, you farm oysters, you served with particlar valor in the military having
witnessed many deaths, and everyone you meet online is in dire straits. Ask me how I know.

You told us.

it's funny, but this reply of yours speaks volumes about what a loser you are, but you are such a loser, you had no idea.

does loser seem harsh? It probably it, but what else should we call it?

people that aren't barely getting by are impacted by market collapses. We are forced into a system based on debt. To beat the system that is based on debt, you can't just open a savings account, they pay less then inflation.

So you invest.

only a loser would suggest that if you aren't living paycheck to paycheck, you are rich.

So you favor higher interest rates, and a slowing of consuming?

So the fact that 401k's and many smaller people would be hurt by this makes you happy? That's pretty sick, bro.

Oil down $6/bbl. That's great for the consumer. Bad for the market. Most don't care about 401k losses gains, if they save hundreds of dollars/month on fuel/heat.

Those accounts will sit and grow for decades. Our boom/bust economic model will cause investments to rise and fall like the tide. The only thing that matters is what the market is doing when you are ready to draw from the account. Obsessing about the fluctuations does nothing to help. Hell...many homeowners were technically millionaires when the inflated market yielded a temporary unrealistic appraisal.

Doesn't matter that they weren't selling their home. There were 'wealthy' for five minutes. Same applies to retirement accounts.

It's simple enough, even for you. All the big boys use automated trading platforms, it's the infamous domino effect in action.

That should lessen the phenomenon I observe. Doesn't seem to.

Oh, and you are a dipshit.

I am not the one lying about being a lawyer, being wealthy and a whole host of other bullshit. Face it PackD, you are a whiny, white, broke liberal who needs others to support him. No reason to be upset about it. You caused it. As well as setting yourself up consistently to get caught in your lies. You do it, no one else.

Don't tell Daesh that her imaginary economic mathematical models struggle to make predictions over waves of irrational human psychology, or she'll call you an Austrian.
 
When checking my stocks each day I was worried the Obama bubble would pop.

At least that bubble popping is out of the way and we should see a stable but growing economy for the rest of Trump's term.

Over the past couple of weeks, my Roth IRA dropped $1200 in value.
