Funny how silent you've been lately until there's bad news to crow about.  You are the poster child for the belief that Democrats love bad news for Americans as long as they think its good news for their candidates.  Bet you're on your knees nightly praying that COVID-19 kills a bunch of Americans, sends the world into depression and kills millions of people because it will hurt Trump, right?  Examine your soul Archie, its a very dark and sad place in desperate need of redemption.

But I would remind you Archie that when Trump took office in January 2016 the Dow was around 19,000.  Even with all these temporary corrections it has still grown over 10% per year during Trump's presidency.  I'll take 10% annual growth in my 401(k) any day, especially when that growth did not occur coming out of a recession where markets are expected to grow faster.  Think about it Archie, markets grow like crazy coming out of a recession and the long-term average is around 7%.  So Trump, even with these temporary corrections does 10% in good years and beats the long-term trends after a 10% correction....simply amazing  Heck, Obama only got 16% and he took over at the end of a recession.  Both Reagan and Clinton blew him away on post-recession performance.  

As for me, I've got $200K in cash and am waiting for the correction to end so I can put that money to work.  Buy the dip.

Dry powder going to work today, prices are great!  There is always a bull market in every crisis!  So dump your travel stocks and internationals and load up on staples and high dividend stocks.   Have you checked yours?  

those wishing for a recession should spend more time rebalancing!

the chances of saving our nation from destruction at the hands of an unstable but power mad maniac in the White House then yes...bring it on.  My losses so far are about $42,000 (I'm sure that is only a fraction of your decline) but l consider it a worthy investment if it is injurious to der Groppenfuherer!

At 75 l am 60% in bonds which are up rather smartly of late!

Now it Trump takes ALL the credit for the upside (which he certainly does) he needs to accept at least a minimal blame on the downside.

New low even for Antifatech - "Hopefully this virus kills lots of people to make Trump look bad ( like they have not been trying to make him look bad for 3+ years now)"

You really do need help, I pity you and those around you.

China releases Bioterror weapon, Its Trumps fault.

Closing the borders and limiting travel is starting to look better and better ( both things that Demonrats have fought for years.  )

Stock up on can goods and ammo. You can see the insanity in the demonrats eyes.  Only way they would be happier is if the virus only target red hats or political views.

I actually didn't think anyone could wish financial misery and death from a pandemic on innocent people and fellow Americans just to get rid of someone they don't like politically.  There is something deeply wrong with you Archie, deeply, seriously and pathetically wrong.  I know I kid Goofy about getting help for his TDS but in your case I am deadly serious.  Someone that thinks like you could easily decide that any means to get rid of Trump is justified.....to the point of trying to assassinate him.  It would not surprise me in the least to read a story about a socialist architect from Atlanta being arrested by the Secret Service. 

You've said a lot of objectionable things in the past Archie but this one gets you back on ignore for me.  You literally don't deserve the oxygen you are wasting or one more second of my time.  Life is too short to have any interaction with evil people like you.  Way too short.

Do not understand risk and how age should determine portfolio balance.  I been cussing my bond shares for minimal return last few years but up 14% overnight.  Stay on top of your portfolios.  Now use some of your profits on TDS treatments!  Lol.

I 

Where did I say I wanted anybody to die to damage Trump?  I said then and I say again, if the current market meltdown scares enough of the high roller investor class and the common folk to just maybe reconsider their dangerous blind obedience to a man, who in my honest opinion is determined destroy the principals upon which this nation stands if given the chance, then it is a sacrifice l am personally willing to gladly make! If you don’t like it shove it!

Now as for sick and twisted, how could anybody that Is anything other than sick and twisted go, as you have, from being a disparager of candidate Trump in 2016 to a Kool Aide swilling Trump azz kisser in 2020?

Now as for Secret Service questions, how come we never had such curiosity by the Secret Service toward at least half this forum, you included, between 2009 and 2017?

I have been investing since the early 80's and since that time, I have seen a number of major chaotic market events: the 1987 market crash, the Dot-Com bubble burst, the 9-11 sell-off, the Great Recession and myriad other substantial corrections that come to mind.  And like most investors, my portfolio has taken a significant hit during the past week.  While these events are always very unsettling, they are inevitable and ultimately healthy for the financial markets, in the LONG run.  In the short term, yeah they suck, but had I not been actively investing for the past nearly 40 years, I wouldn't have anywhere near the assets I have now, and will have even after this correction runs its course, so keeping a healthy perspective is important during these times.  And also remember, they are only paper losses unless you sell!

So sayeth the Oblamer azz kisser and personal water carrier of 8+ years who can find not even a single fib from the pedestal upon which Antifatech placed his savior.
