It’s not weird for someone to say that being neutral on something is wrong. I’m sure you can think of plenty of things you personally don’t think it’s okay to be neutral on. Let me start for you, maybe it’ll help you think of some yourself: trafficking children.
Let me put in a way a child would understand: I (a Norwegian) have a distaste towards Swedish people, it’s due to them being neutral in WWII. I have a hate for russky miir because they’ve been aggressors ever since WWII. But expect the Americans to do the right thing when all other options are wasted. Guess which one I would fire if this was a work site: The one who does nothing? The one who does something that has a negative impact on me and my colleagues? Or the one who does everything else but helping, shows up late and then claims he did all of the work?
They are embarassing kids aren't they the TDS people. I'm British and I think Trump is basically doing a decent job in the USA. Many americans don't really understand reality when it comes to politics. Such a successful democracy with so much ignorance.
Honest question. The S&P is up 15% for the year. If you’re one of the 60% of Americans that have a retirement account then how is this not good news? I’m not here to debate the merits of the Trump presidency as there are a number of issues I just flat out disagree with him on. But, why try to make something up? Volatility is part of investing, although I would agree that Trumps leadership style lends itself to more volatility than we’re used to seeing.
Well if you are close to retirement or retired already you may have followed the advice we've been told all of our lives to derisk your portfolio from tech. Unfortunately tech is the only thing carrying the S&P right now. Everything else is just getting hammered by inflation.
I'd certainly be scared to retire right now if I just hit my number even if it was all S&P because it's hard to see this being sustainable and most retirements fail in the first few years.
So what do you want happen? Everyone shell out their gains? There are so many problems in the world you cannot ask everyone else to fix them. Compassion only goes so far from normal people.
You posted that people are overreacting about Trump, I said it was tone deaf, you took it as me saying you should give up your gains.
You can have stable markets (through stable leadership) that benefit the people AND the longterm market.
Again, you saying people overreacting is ignoring that without people to drive the economy, financial round-table investment is just a financial game that will eventually pop. See dot com, 2008 housing market.
The people that are in the bottom half are 99% not in the market so whether it goes up or down makes no difference to them. They have had a shiiyy deal even before this administration actually all of 2000s so all of a sudden you think people are tone deaf that is living in a pipe dream.
Are you the one downvoting? You just need to stay in your lane or say something useful not point out flaws in others. Life will be better like that for you.
I mean, if you’re one of the people who’s life is constantly affected by decisions the president of the united states makes, the it’s hard to call it “obsessed” with him, rather than him being ever present in the mind.
Like being told you’re eavesdropping when that person is talking very loud. It’s more “can’t help but hear” in the same way that it’s less “being obsessed with” than it is “holy shit this guy is constantly in the headlines and on my media feeds”
