CORRECT! When you consider there are two very impactful wars going on, it is unreal that the economy is on fire like it is.
* Gas is under $3 a gallon in my city and state.
* The unemployment rate continues to be super low (and too low even).
* The GDP was just adujsted upward for the 3rd quarter when it was already on fire.
* In the stock market, I am up 16.42% YTD, and the NASDAQ is up an astonishing 37.73% as of this writing YTD.
Anyone who says the economy is bad doesn't know what they are talking about. The only way to make the economy better is to allow more immigrants to come here (fast track that) to fill the open jobs and gain even more tax revenue for our country.
"In the stock market, I am up 16.42% YTD, and the NASDAQ is up an astonishing 37.73% as of this writing YTD."
Flagpole - where are you getting this "16.42% YTD?" Please explain how you came up with this number because I really think you have no clue how to figure that out.
Of course I know how to figure that out.
1) I get out the crystals (I'm assuming you would know this) and put them inside the pyramid.
2) I then dim the lights and shine a light through the pyramid into the crystals (which form a prism) so that the refraction puts a rainbow on the wall.
3) I then measure the rainbow using a pocketwatch as the measuring tool. I assume you are familiar with this method.
4) Once the measure is taken, you multiply that by the number that Insane Dan puts in a Geo Caching location found only if you solve the riddle he adds to the online classifieds.
I mean, DUH! I hope this ends your disbelief in my knowledge.
They're lucky the GoP doesn't weaponize the government and DoJ the way Democrats do.
The Republicans didn''t have hack partisan attorneys general who went after Trump with a vengeance.
I know the cult is strong with you, but Trump was indicted by grand juries made up of citizens. The damning evidence against him in ALL CASES came either from Republicans or people who worked for him at The Trump Organization. This is not a political witch hunt. This is not Democrats going after him. Trump is a criminal who is being held accountable for his crimes. Pull your head out of your ass.

these are people who know trump called for the termination of the Constitution but still trust him to take the oath to defend that very same Constitution.

Again, I will ask you a very simple question ... you beat the "market" 32 of 33 years. The Dow? Again, how can you compare your highly diversified portfolio against a mix of 30 stocks NOT including many of the high-flying ones. MSFT did not even join the Dow until 1999 and it is up like 300,000% since inception. You are comparing a mix of Union Carbide and Sears Roebuck and Goodyear Tire and other conservative stocks against the magnificent 7 and other high-flying ones. . Laughable you would do that.

Grand juries in deep deep blue jurisdictions.
Clinton and Biden are both criminals.
Surely you're no stupid you can't comprehend why people would give Trump a pass after you've demonstrated your double standard so shamelessly.

Another thing - you have said many times you have beaten the market 32 of 33 years (pretty much impossible). Which market?!? The Nasdaq, the S & P, the Dow? I think you have said in the past compared to the Dow, but that is ridiculous to compare your diversified portfolio against one that has only 30 stocks and conservative ones at that. The dow has AAPL and MSFT but doesn't have the rest of the high-flying magnificent 7. You are comparing apples to oranges. How are you basing your YTD? Capital appreciation or capital appreciation plus dividends?
You are one weird dude. You've got the number of years wrong (I mean of course you do). Odd that you aren't sure it's the Dow that I have always referenced...I mean, since you are so concerned about it. Yes, I use the Dow as the measure. Why? I just randomly picked an index when I started to unofficially measure how I did in a given year, and I've just kept with that. Is it apples to oranges? No. Methinks you don't know what that means. Is it a GOOD measure of how I've done in a given year? Not really.
Will I ever tell you if I use just capital appreciation or capital appreciation plus dividends? Nope. Why not? You have already shown on multiple ocassions that you don't understand certain things. When I've given you minutia detail before in the past, you told me how wrong I was about certain mutual funds, and you showed there that you didn't know what you were talking about (eventually proven wrong, of course...and you were WAY off there too).

The cult is strong with you. If Clinton and Biden are criminals, then put together a task force to hold them accountable. I support you doing that. Prove the criminality and then have them held accountable. Go do it in a red state even if you think that matters. Funny that you think I would care if they were proven to be criminals. I'm against criminals. I don't excuse criminal behavior due to political party. Prove the crimes, and I'll cheer them being held accountable.

You get bonus points for a sense of humor.
The fact you think I'm trying to be funny there shows you don't know how to determine what you've made YTD in the stock market.

How could you ever calculate your YTD performance WITHOUT including dividends??? Dividends make up about 35% of the S & P's total return while capital appreciation makes up about 65%. The fact that you don't understand how important dividends are in relation to a portfolio just means this will be my last post with you on this subject. I don't have the time or inclination to train you on this. Best wishes!

I haven't told you if I include them or not. I have not shown a misunderstanding of how important dividends are. Um...what? You have no knowledge with which to train me on anything.

So ... your YTD might be 35% higher? Wow. I want you as my investing guru.

1) I never called the Dow "the market." That was your term.
2) You have the XX of XX years incorrect. Of course you do.
3) You DO realize that I can compare my annual stock returns to ANYTHING, right? I can compare it to the in-fashion length of women's skirts if I want to.
4) So, you need to decide which it is...either my beating the Dow as many years as I have (you have that wrong) is either impossible, or it is so easy that it's not a good measure of anything. Which is it? I submit it's the latter which I have long said, and I find it hilarious that this bothers you so much. Hilarious in a kind of sad way.
I guess the Clintons and the Bidens are just lucky then that they aren't charged with 91 felony counts like Trump is. Sucks to be you on the losing end. You're a fool.
They're lucky the GoP doesn't weaponize the government and DoJ the way Democrats do.
The days and weeks and months and years roll past, and ZERO evidence that Biden has lifted one finger to use the Executive Branch against Trump. No whistleblower, no Deep Throat, no NOTHING.
And it's NEVER coming, and it makes perfect sense to all those NOT in the Trump Cult. He's a criminal POS. As stated many, many, many times here, ZERO corruption (inappropriate influence) is necessary to put Donny Boy in hot water. Duh.
Meanwhile, YOUR guy very explicitly PROMISES to use the Executive Branch against his opponents after he gets YOUR vote.
Anyway, please provide ANY proof that Biden has influenced ANYTHING regarding Trump's indictments here: ________________________________________________

Well some of the DA's openly ran for office with the promise to hunt for a crime to prosecute the scary orange man for. Any decent human being would find that problematic.
And there's ample evidence and whistle blowers attesting to Biden's corruption and weaponization of the government.
