All he can ever do is copy others. Never had an original thought. Not surprising given his lack of education.

That reminds me of the Trump voter this morning who said that she showed up for early voting in Mesa Az "because Donald Trump told me to"!

What early voting isn't rigged anymore like Donald Trump said it is?

All they can do is copy whatever Donald Trump tells 'em to do...

So then I just have to ask, was your lie purposeful or are you just that ignorant and uninformed?

Lol! The "artistic" peckerwood thinks he know what he's talking about!

"Some investors dreaded what a Joe Biden win would mean for the stock market, but those worries were somewhat unfounded as the S& has returned 51% (roughly a 12% annual return) since his inauguration despite the ongoing inflation fight, the commensurate Fed activity and increasing global conflict. Contrary to popular belief, stock market performance is better under Democratic presidents than Republican ones. In fact, it’s not close."

Let me just embarrass you one more time, and expose your stupidity to the world.  

I'm almost ashamed to expose you for the fool that you are.  I already did prove that the DJIA under Trump went up by 57%, while under Donald Trump's presidency and Joe Biden's gains were only 38%.

So now let me educate the moron that IS You.  

The S& P 500 returned 67% (roughly a 17% annual return) since Donald Trump's inauguration to the end of his 4 year term.

Care to address that fact above, the one showing that During Trump's presidency, the S& P 500 investor gained 5% MORE per year than they gained under Joe Biden?

Are you masochistic or do you simply work hard at being as dumb as you are?  

Hey dummy, the stock market under Biden's watch has had a 50% increase over that of the Trump administration, as per Market Watch.

Does ANYONE want to give up that 50% increase and see the Dow drop back to the 30000 level under Trump from the current level of 43000 under Biden? ANYONE?

Does ANYONE want to see a 13000 drop in the Dow to bring us back onto its level under Trump? 

Does ANYONE with a 410k, most of which are spread across the markets and not focused on a particular sector(roughly half the country & arguably the productive half) want the Dow back to the level under Trump? ANYONE?

If you do, take your financial advice from RICH DAVIS, afterall we all know how well he does in the markets...

I have the charts.  They are factual Charts dumbass.

These are the numbers you GD idiot.

S& P charts are listed by the Month moron:

https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-historical-prices/table/by-month

PER THAT CHART above DB, on February 1, 2017, 12 days AFTER Trump entered office, the S& P had a value of 2329.91

When Trump left office DB, 12 days before Feb. 1, 2021, the S& P 500 had a value of 3883.43

That means the S& P 500 went UP during Trump's Presidency by 3883.43/2329.91, which equals 1.670.

For the math impaired like yourself, that means the percentage went up by 67%.

Now moron, try to keep up, ok.  

When Biden came into office, the value of the S& P on Feb. 1, 2021 was 3883.43

Today, the S& P sits at 5842.47.

Therefore, since Joe Biden came into office the S& P 500 has gone up by 5842.47/3883.43, which equals 1.50, the percentage figure you stated was the figure given by your link. 

So then IF at the beginning of the Trump administration, one would have invested $100,000 into the S& P 500 market and sold it at the end of the Trump administration when he left office, one would have realized a gain in their pocket of $67,000.

IF at the beginning of the Biden administration, one would have invested $100,000 into the S& P 500 market and sold it at this very day one would have realized a gain in their pocket of $50,000.

Hmm... so that same $100,000 invested at the beginning of the Trump admin. would have netted an investor $67,000 profit, but if one had made at the beginning of the Biden admin a $100,000 investment and then sold it today, one would have netted only $50,000.  

So that's a tough question, would I rather have someone come up to me and give me $67,000 or walk up to me and hand me $50,000?   

At least you've cleared up one thing here, you've caused me to understand that any conversation with you will provide me with the knowledge that I am debating an irrational imbecile.  

I harken back to one of my favorite novels Of Mice and Men.  Steinbeck must have channeled you from the future as he based his character Lennie on You.  

There are not words in the English language strong enough to express just how ignorant and stupid you truly are.

You are truly clueless and not surprisingly so since you've never had a 410k in your life or anything akin to it. Individual sectors within the market may be up or down, comparatively speaking, from one administration to the next. But what we're really talking about here, i.e. the overall 50% increase in the Dow and way up from its 30000 level under Trump to its current 43000+ level, is what benefits those with diversified portfolios and most of the 401ks and mutual funds do exactly that while others utilize index funds which reflect overall market performance.
ANYBODY with the above want to go back to a 30000 level under Trump and take 13000 point hit on their portfolio? ANYBODY?

JB: "I suppose Trump or Harris could screw it up badly in the next term,..."

"Trump’s Tariffs Could Push S& 500 Down 10% Next Year, UBS Says"

“We’ve heard from a number of clients that Trump’s former US Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer, has been meeting with investor groups and telling them that Trump could announce 60% Chinese tariffs and 10% across-the-board tariffs shortly after taking office,” wrote the trio of research analysts at the investment bank in a note Friday."

I didn't see and reference to Harris coming close to screwing it up badly unlike Trump...

Nice images Jim(s).

I caught a glimpse of the nucleus and just a bit of the tail in front of my moderately light polluted with a pair of 10 x 40 binoculars last night.  Having venus in the vicinity didn't help but it was still nice to see it.

"On Saturday, FEMA workers had to halt their work in Rutherford County due to reports that National Guard troops saw “armed militia” threatening the workers,"

"Misinformation ‘unlike anything we’ve seen before’"

"Tthe public information officer for Rutherford County, Kerry Giles, told CNN that debunking the rumors “did consume resources that could have been more effectively utilized in the recovery efforts.” Rutherford and surrounding counties have been posting photos and information about aid efforts to combat the misinformation."

Anything to prove Trump right...

"The group was so heavily armed and so violent that the FBI deployed its elite Hostage Rescue Team from Quantico, Virginia, to support the arrests."

"Agents seized an arsenal of illegal guns, “bomb-making components” and dozens of kilograms of fentanyl, methamphetamine and heroin, according to law enforcement officials."

So, who are they?

"According to the U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, the Peckerwoods, a derogatory name historically used against white people, “has as its mission to plan attacks against racial, ethnic, religious minorities.”

"The federal indictment of 68 defendants accused of being members of (or being associated) with a criminal gang driven by race-based hate followed an investigation that led to the seizure of Nazi paraphernalia, including Adolf Hitler posters, and 97 pounds of fentanyl, federal officials said Wednesday. U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada, who announced the charges, called it one of the “largest takedowns in the history of the Department of Justice against a neo-Nazi, white supremacist, violent extremist organization.”

"The details of this multifaceted investigation reveal a significant component of America’s crime problem: hardened, U.S.-born criminals who traffic in the drugs, guns and violence plaguing our country. This contrasts with the fact-free fearmongering fabrications being sold to MAGA believers. It’s not that minorities don’t commit crimes; nor is that migrants never murder or rape. But Trump and Vance want voters to believe our gun, drug and violence problems are being driven by migrants when the opposite is true."

"Take Trump’s claim that Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua took over an entire apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado. It’s a scary story, but it’s not true. Just ask Aurora’s police chief. Facts be damned, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott fell in line with Trump and claimed a hotel in El Paso was taken over by Tren de Aragua, which he declared a foreign terrorist organization. Again, it’s a frightening scenario, but it’s devoid of evidence."

"During the vice presidential debate, Vance claimed the vast majority of illegal guns used in crimes here come from Mexican cartels. The truth is quite different; it’s the U.S. that’s arming Mexican cartels. We have detailed data demonstrating the extent to which American weapons are fueling the violence in Mexico, right down to the make and model of the guns found at crime scenes across the border."

"There’s no clear evidence that migrants commit crimes at any higher rate than U.S.-born citizens. In fact, we’d be hard-pressed to prove that undocumented migrants pose a greater crime threat than those 68 white supremacist gang members who, according to this week’s indictment, were part of a major California criminal enterprise."
