Don't look at your 401K... DOW down 1100+ AGAIN.

Bad day unless you shorted SPY at EOD yesterday...

I had a few puts but sold too early this morning and missed a 25X return.

On the bright side, ****erberg, Musk and Bezos are losing billions today.

Jerome Powell yesterday after FOMC meeting...

"I can't guarantee a soft landing"... possibly "softish".

Jeeze these people are stupid.  Huge indicator of how the economy is, and they mentioned it a LOT when Trump was president, now it's all "meh, no big deal, Biden didn't do it, doesn't affect me ... blah, blah, blah."

I wonder how many of them realize places like insurance companies get some of their proceeds from the market and if it drops, they raise premiums.  Or at least they used to, I don't know about now.

Wargamer primitive acting like they’re winning in the market when the case is they’re either losing big time or they don’t have 2 nickels to rub together to put into the market.

Attn primitives, don’t try this junk. None of you are smarter than any of us. We know you’re lying.

Ad this inflated gain since Joey the pedophile has been in office by $6 trillion in borrowing and $5 trillion in Fed QE injections has been erased.

Absolutely - but why stop at $5000, let's make that $500,000. Those people will be spending thousands upon thousands, the stock will be worth millions...and let's ignore the fact that those millions won't be able to buy anything more than a single coffee.

It has cost my portfolio over $300,000. At this rate a lifetime of saving will be wiped out inside a few years. My wealth advisor exoects there to be a positive correctiin "soon." God I hope so - I am praying the midterm red wave will pull my chestnuts out of the fire.

And I am broadly invested, too!
