This is why Trump will be re-elected.
Economy and all.

one could also look at it like this.....with the stagnant economy, you were able to purchase 'shares' at a reduced price.....therefore, since more 'shares' were purchased, your overall value is greater today due to the larger number of shares purchased over time vs. the number if the market was always slowly rising....
the old adage, "buy on the dips" may be Zero's greatest accomplishment.....
think about it.....we began increasing our debt by crazy amounts starting in the 60s.....the dow was valued at less that 2k in the mid 80s.....where are we at today??? is the spending power of the USD 12x greater than it was in the mid 80s.....
I don't think so....the only reason this shite is happening are incentivized savings plans.....watch what happens when that money starts to get extracted and today's gen doesn't have the ability to refill at the pump.....
another thing to ponder....the dow vs. nasdaq was historically at 5:1.....it's now gaining on 3:1....that's one many don't think about that I view as a negative moving forward....
in addition, the largest amount of growth since the industrial revolution happened after wwII for the next 20 years......guess what the market was doing then......flatter than a pancake....
at some point the shite's going to hit the fan inflating true value.....you'll wish you were dead when that happens....
this is why protecting the USD is all that matters....that's why the market pulled back when the tariff announcement was made....
it dayum sure isn't #tulips.......and that's where we're headed if people don't wake the fokkkkkk up.....
