Stocks actually did better under Obama than tRump.

I guess that is why you will always live in a double wide and not in a mansion.


Example -
I bought a painting at a garage sale for $1 and sold it for $5,001.
vs
I bought a painting at an auction for $1,000,000 and sold it for $1,008,500.


Only a fool would think the million dollar investment was a better investment.


An even bigger fool would think that when someone invests in the market they only can buy 1 share at the current market price and can't invest one cent more or one cent less.
When the market is lower you buy more shares than you can when the market is higher.

If you buy 100 shares at $5 or 1 share at $500 if the $5 share goes to $10 and the $500 share goes to $750 which investment makes you more money? They were both $500 investments.

I guess you'll always work for someone instead of working for yourself.

Example
I bought a painting at $8077 and sold it for $13107 45 months later
vs.
I bought a painting at $19,827 and sold it for $28,335 45 months later

Only a fool would think making just over $5000 is better than making just over $8500

Except for $19,827, I can buy 2.45 paintings at $8077 and make $12,225 which is better than $8,500.

Only a fool would thing making $8,500 is better than making $12,225.

When it comes to investing, one always compares investing the same amount of money to get an accurate understanding of return on investment. But then you are the guy that doesn't understand if you get an account and always get a 10% discount it saves you money over just getting a 2% cash discount on small orders and 10% discount on large orders.

Do your shit stains do more than lie? Do they jump up and down or something?


Are skid marks talking to you? You might need to get professional help.
Call Tighty Whitey Protection and get that skid mark wiped up in no time.

You claimed you lost money in your 401K while everyone else in the market was making money then you called the historical closing numbers for the market fake news.
Maybe the problem is you have your head where your tighty whiteys are supposed to be.

Not when they no longer sell for that.

Only a fool would think you could buy something at $8077 when the going price is $19335.

What little bit of money you keep in your pocket isn't investing. Stop pretending you know how things works.

You do like to prove you know nothing about how investing works. Enjoy your double wide.

Do you need me to send you something in a large Amazon box because you are in arrears on payments on that trailer?


When you invest there is not just one Amazon or Apple stock. There are hundreds of millions or tens of billions. You invest a set amount of money. You calculate your earnings based on the percentage increase not on the increase in price of a single stock or based on the dollar amount that the market went up in a certain time period.

Are you Donald Trump or just one of his cult followers because the only thing you are proving is you don't know the first thing about investing or how to calculate which time periods give you the best return on an investment? At this point, the only question is are you really this stupid? Your next response will give us more evidence of your stupidity.

Since you claim I live in one, which means you would have to know where it is and have direct knowledge of it, why don't you have the guts to personally deliver it if you believe what you say is true?

We know, because you're a lefty, you're a fucking coward. Your next response will give us more proof of it.

Either you are a complete nincompoop or your employer is not making the deposits required by law.

Based on the market performance leading up to Oct of 2016, there is no possible way for a reasonable investment in stocks to have been losing money from 2009 to 2016. There isn't even a single starting point in those 8 years that would have allowed you to be losing money if you didn't start saving from that point on.

What would have happened was in 2008 before Obama became President, you could have seen a 40% drop in your 401K but unless you panicked and got out of the market you would have recovered in within 3 years.

Bingo. We "lost" (on paper) quite a lot when the markets collapsed in 2008. Mr. Owl stayed the course, and bought more stock when the markets were down. By 2017 he had more than doubled his wealth -- stocks, 401(k), CDs, and other investment vehicles. If that clown you were responding to lost money, either he selected poor growth funds, or he needs to fire the manager of his 401(k).
