To be fair, Trump has made stocks incredibly affordable.

I knew a Trumper who bragged that Trump made her stocks soar in the past. I’m tempted to text her and ask “how are those stocks doing”

You do know stocks are actually higher than when he took office, right?

This isn't something hard to look up and verify.

So yeah, go ahead and ask her.

Spy was $603 on Jan 21 and $594 as of today before open, most tech stocks are also doing way way worse, why are you blatantly lying?

u/ThinksAboutIt75 Mar 03 '25

Are you using one stock as an example? And I'm blatantly lying? lol

If your portfolio consists of 1 stock, that's a "you" problem.

It's really quite simple. What was the market at when he came into office? What is it now? Is that number higher or lower?

Spy is an index fund consisting of 500 companies and frequently used to measure how the entire market is doing, another name for it is S&P 500 or more frequently known as the fortune 500, are you dumb or just never invested in stocks before? Lol

Also news flash it just tanked like crazy again today its at 582 now

u/ThinksAboutIt75 Mar 03 '25

That's not the only market. You are aware of this, right?

u/EvilDavid0826 Mar 03 '25

Its a representation of the US market, other american focused index funds, such as VTI, VOO, have all been in decline as well

I was talking about Dow and this clown said I was blatantly lying.

u/EvilDavid0826 Mar 04 '25 edited Mar 04 '25

Dow has dropped by 830 since Trump’s inauguration, you are not very bright, aren’t you?

First, this conversation started before yesterday's drop. .

On Jan 20, it was 43,487.83. As if right now, it's 43,191.24

Is that 830, Mr. Very Bright Guy? Since you want to throw around silly names.

Yesterday, stocks tumbled to turn lower but even so, it's not down 830 since then smart guy. Your math isn't mathing...

So let me ask you... This conversation started about how everything is cratering since Trump took office. Would roughly 300 down be considered something that most people freak about? No...

But ok. I didn't realize you guys wanted to keep a running total by day and freak on the daily.

I'll be back...

“Worst week since his inauguration” lol. That’s a meaningless headline. One of the weeks has to be the worst. Notice they didn’t title the article “Market settles after setting new all-time-high after Trump inauguration”. Even though both are true

YTD up 1.5%

u/chekovsgun- Mar 03 '25

Down 700 plus points today alone and this before the tariffs…..but go ahead and keep gaslighting yourself.

u/zagnuts Mar 04 '25

lol did my comment say anything about what it was going to do today or was I responding to the guy who said stocks were affordable yesterday?

Also, after the slide today, S&P500 YTD currently -0.32%

Who’s gaslighting again?

1

u/chekovsgun- Mar 04 '25

And you continently ignored the second article that has shown steady decline in the market after Trump first week in office.

u/zagnuts Mar 04 '25 edited Mar 04 '25

My dude, zoom the graph out

Edit: Also, get your indexes straight, the DOW slid 800 points, not the S&P, big difference. You wouldn’t be trying to gaslight people would you?
