Trump and his team are playing 3D chess while y'all are simpering about the 401Ks from your highly paid do-nothing jobs. Trump just may win a Nobel Prize after all.

Baby boomers feel like they’re entitled to 20% a year every year. Easily the worst generation ever.
Nice blanket statement - we’re talking gen x bruh. Boomers have long been retired. But keep think what tic tok tells you to.

Wait. So Trump kept bragging about stock market performance during his first term. After he realizes he did something wrong, he is crushing it on purpose now? Someone needs to investigate if a POtUS can and should crush market on purpose so he can get a good deal to refinance. What about go bankruptcy? Will that win him more prizes?

To their credit, they created the best generation - Gen X.
Our oldest members are 60, and we have yet to produce a U.S. president, which means we can't be blamed for screwing up the country.
We are slackers, and largely not woke!
Gen Xer here. This is true.

Calm down bruh. Don’t worry, in a few short years they’ll all be gone and you’ll be the boomer. At least you’ll have your tic tok.

That doesn't make it better. It just proves he is evil as well as stupid.

If you are anywhere near retirement you should be protected from short term fluctuations like this.
If you're 60 and have all of your money in stocks you're doing it wrong.

Exactly. Bunch of static-thinking morans around here. Also, why do we act like other countries haven’t been tariffing us for years? Is it pure ignorance, or dishonestly?

If you were planning on retiring soon, you SHOULD have already rolled 3-5 years of expense dollars out of stocks and into a safe haven account, like money market account. Then for next 3-5 years if you need to withdraw from your 401k/IRA, you take it out of cash, not selling stocks.

Looks like your 5 decade 9-5er is going to turn into a 6 decade 9-5er. Maybe. Relax, your little 401k will be fine.

Wait a minute… you mean the tough-talking douche from the north is now ready to DROP ALL TARIFFS, including the ones they’ve had in place for YEARS?? Hmm… it’s almost like this was Trump’s plan all along.

Actual headlines right now on Fox Business:
- -Hard-hit American industry embraces tariffs: Trump ‘threw us a lifeline’
- -US business leaders back Trump's remedy for 'very sick' economy
- -New study exposes how blue state's policies are causing high gas prices
- -Master Negotiator: President Trump's tariffs force countries to adopt fair trade
- -Video: Global tariffs should have been levied three decades ago
- -Hitting the ground running: Trump is just getting started with global tariffs, Rep Byron Donalds says
I mean, I get that Fox News is pure fantasy/entertainment, but shouldn't a supposed "business" network have some grounding in reality? Just what kind of investor or business person is getting their information from here?

I always upgrade my iPhone to the newest model as soon as it is released, but with the price increase due to the tariffs, I might be forced to skip a generation.
Any suggestions on how I can cope with this??? I'm really feeling depressed.

The OP is talking about his 401k, not his Robinhood Stonk account. And you get loaded with upvotes for this comment.

The market now is where it was in June 2024. Was his 401K devastated last Summer? Of course not. He’s being a drama queen.
Corrections always come hard. This is not an accident. It’s to shake out stock from weak holders so insiders can grab them at a discount.

Yeah I wonder how they were posting in 2022 when the market had a 25% correction (remember, back when the administration redefined the word “recession”- LOL)?
Anywho- educate yourselves, you FOOLS.

This is exactly what a propaganda machine is supposed to do. All the headlines have been previewed and approved by the White House before Fox can publish them. GOP is simply copying nazi and communist party strategies.
