I'm within 1 year of retiring, so I'm a little cautious right now. I pulled a ton of money out of stocks on February 13 over concerns about production and supply networks being disrupted. I'll get back in, but I may wait a little longer to get a better idea of where the bottom is.

Where do you people come up with this bullshite that is so easily fact-checked with hard numbers in real time?

Your assertion is blatantly and transparently false.

Thank you kind sir.

I was hoping to avoid cashing out and burying mason jars in the back yard.

My 401k was started in 1999 and has been growing at a healthy rate.

Is CNN throwing a party over this like they usually do when the markets are down?

I'm sure they have the ticker up.

They only pull it out when it's bad news.

Depends on what he is talking about buying into. Could easily be more than 50%. For example Dollar General has easily more than doubled in price over the past 4 years.

To the OP, seems like a buying opportunity to me.

Im a bit concerned about the short term (or possibly longer) effects we are going to see on our China dependence. A positive spin could if this is really bad as in China taking a dirt nap long run MADE IN USA will be on a serious uptick.

US manufacturing and our own exports demands may skyrocket. Long term there could be a lot of good with that. BS like this just goes to show you globalism dependence is just that...BS. I don't like the idea of us or our economy being dependent on a 2nd/3rd world communist country.

FAGOX has gone up by 42% and paid a dividend totaling over 12% since November 2016. Reinvested dividends pushing you about 8% higher

If the Democrats ever get control of both houses and the Presidency, they’ll be touching your 401k before 20 years.

So you interpret his statement to mean to be applicable to literally any security...so we can just pick one that up 2X over those dates and ascribe it to Trump's election? Come on, man, don't be absurd. You could do that on any date relative to almost any other date in the preceding years at any point over the past 100 years. He obviously meant the DJIA -which the thread is explicitly about.

So now we're up to, what - 62%? In your little fake news world, is that "close to 100%"? You're a fricking idiot.

On 100,000 dollars you would have made around 42,000 dollars without any dividneds

It paid around 40,000 dollars in dividends since the election and reinvesting them with the gain would have gotten you about 200,000 dollars in value

Its not this hard

Im not sure it was obvious that's what he meant...but if so you are correct.

Personally, I've never made this much $$$ in the market. And yes I do attribute that to the Trump administration in conjunction with the economy. My portfolio has nearly doubled.

You need to clean up your language, then. You should "totaling" 12% instead of saying it was annual.

In any event, I love the fact that you picked a security that met your statement AFTER the fact. Why are we talking about growth stocks now instead of the DJIA?

FAGOX is a random index fund I happen to have a large amount of that has been in existence almost since Fidelity themselves

There is nothing random about it

Its only good because for years paper copies were lost and you can fudge a couple tens of thousands dollars off the basis

Last I checked there was almost 70 billion dollars still in it

Supply chain interruptions are for real, and probably aren't fully reflected yet. Otherwise, fundamentals in the US really haven't changed much, so no reason to panic.

It still makes you sigh to see 401K balance likely dip 20 grand in a day like I expect.

It's random in that - in a thread explicitly linked to the DJIA - you mysteriously asserted one would be up 2X on their money since November 2016...only to AFTER THE FACT clarify you meant a growth fund that nobody had ever mentioned and would never have thought of if you hadn't brought it up ex post facto.

Your original statement could also just have been: "I can go cherry pick a security that is up 2X since November 2016 and then ascribe its movement to Trump".

The index fund I am talking about has everything to do with the DJIA

Its probably tracked more with S&P but it has stock in every single company listed on the Industrial.

People have made a significant amount of money the last 3 years

There is no doubt. Serious money.
