Down goes the Dow

on the contrary, you are making a lot of assumptions.

Apple, amazon, and others are way up from their 2017 levels still.

A market consists of knowing what to buy, when to buy it, and when to sell., and when to hold. You are talking about overall indexes, disregarding that some of us may be selective and take profits along the way, etc.

Thanks for the gibberish.

AMZN and AAPL will lead the next decline in the market. “Generals are the last to die.”

For the last 5 years, Igy wept because of those who rejoiced. Now he is rejoicing at those who weep. I guess whatever floats your boat.

No, for five years you constantly harassed me. Now you are attempting to resurrect years of wasted effort. “You reap what you sow” would be more appropriate scripture for you. Posters like you did the real harm, encouraging people to take undue risk. Karma came back to you like a thunderstorm.

Oh, the irony!

Nope, not me. I’ve never offered any advice. Mostly a lurker.

In fact, I did an incredibly stupid thing right before the 2016 election and put all of my 401k into MIPII. As I recall, DOW was just under 18k.

Had coworkers talking about hitting 7 figures while I was still way below that and contributing the max every year. I did have to fight feelings of jealousy. I did move little bits in over time (and all new contributions) so I was about 38% stocks when we started to fall in February.

I didn’t partake much in the big gains the last few years. I have taken a good hit on that 38% portion, but could be worse, and likely will be.

Anyhow, I agree that you were harassed way more than warranted for a long time. And I guess you deserve some level of “I told you so”. Especially if that somehow makes you feel better.

Oh the idiocy.

Harassment was more than an accurate description: posting with my employer’s name, my wife’s name, my son’s name, my picture, stealing my handle, posting that I died...just a few. What kind of person does that? So, yes it makes me feel good. Payback is a bltch.

Of course you’ve never been able to prove any of this. Please seek professional help for your delusions.

Eat every market drop. I pointed out the obvious mistake you made. It is not different this time. Love to see your dopey self eat every post you made the past five years. ?

Again you cannot defend your silly delusion. Your fantasy world is crashing around you.

Detector Dude,

Your stock market fantasy that it was “different this time” blew up in your face.

Sorry to “point out the obvious” mistake of your trolling.

You wasted a lot of time and money. What was it all about Alfie?

You constantly make up stories about other posters here. Your life is just one big lie. I actually feel sorry for you. You desperately need help.

Like it or not, we’re in a pandemic market, and trump is leading the fight. I see dead people, and I realize that’s gallows humor.

“This is all wishful thinking. It’s all part of the delusion. It’s not going to be fine. Because it wasn’t fine before the crisis. We didn’t have a solid economy. We had a bubble. That’s the problem. And the bubble has been pricked. There is no way to go back to where we were. It’s like trying to unscramble an egg. It can’t be done.”
