I'm only politically biased when it comes to my money. Trump was a mouth-breathing chimp but I've never made more money than I did during his presidency. And that's not just from trading stocks. I'm admittedly selfish and dont care, all I care about is my family and my bank account.

You’ve also never invested during another presidency. :-)


And clearly you don’t know stock market gains with either party. It largely doesn’t matter who’s in power to “provide” strong bull runs (I also am selfish and don't care who is president and care more about my bank account).

I said it wasn't just about trading stocks, try to keep up. I made a hell of a lot more under Trump than his predecessor as well.

Lower taxes on the rich, record low unemployment and efforts made to keep jobs in America = stock market pumps. Talk of any tax hikes - ESPECIALLY raising the capital gains tax, killing projects that increases unemployment/raises fuel prices = stock market dump. This isn't as complicated as you're trying to make it. But I know, you're the economy expert and stock market GOD so you do you.

Now do Trump's numbers pre-pandemic. None of that shit takes into account horrible things that happened to the country during their tenures. W's economy that Clinton left was rolling too until 9/11...and he was probably the worst President of my lifetime.

I figured you’d try to argue with basic math and facts. :-)

I’m just trying to get you off your dumbass political soap box in the investing thread.

I’ll make money under Trump and Biden, regardless of my political views.
[Reply]

So terrorist attacks, natural disasters and pandemics dont skew the numbers at all?



I'll make money from both as well, but not near as much as I could if the current regime didn't want to tax the ever-loving hell out of us.

The way they calculate the gains durimg a presidency is misleading.

Since the stock market is a leading indicator, every term to look at should from election day to election day.

Thats a better judge

Fuck, had no idea you were a 1%er?!

Weird that you get your stock info from Reddit if you’re rich though.
[Reply]

Stock Market God?!?!?!

Thank you so much!

But honestly, I’m just trying to help people and share info in this thread. I’ve gotten some good tips from some of you as well. I think any political commentary is useless and shouldn’t be put in this thread.
[Reply]

Fair enough.
[Reply]

I know they don't always mean anything, but if the day plays out like futures are indicating my ass-rape prediction after Joe's SOTU is going to be dead wrong. I'll happily eat my crow if I'm making money.
[Reply]

It will be a green kind of day.
[Reply]

Starting off with rape.
[Reply]

Market can’t decide which way to go.

If today doesn’t finish green then tomorrow should be....still in this bull market after all.
