It doesn't and I did not say it did.  I did NOT say if you Didn't have a portfolio it would reinforce my  assumptions about you.  I said it would  reinforce what YOU yourself incorrectly said or assumed were my assumptions. 

Yes, my wife and I do have a small portfolio of stocks, bonds, CD's and real estate. Some are regular investments and some are IRA and SEP IRA's.  Even with our considerable withdrawals for purchases and travel and with interest rates on the CD's being well below an average of 2%, the portfolio value has more than doubled since Obama took office.  Now I do not claim Obama should be given much or any of the credit, but it does demonstrate things are not nearly as bad, at least fiscally, during the terms of Mr Obama as you would have us believe!
