It's not just "rich people" who are invested in the Stock Market. When bank interest fell to almost 0%, and some talking about "negative interest" rates, most started investing for retirement in the Stock Market. You may not even be aware of it. It may be a large portion your company retirement funds, union pensions, etc. So, will it ever recover in our lifetime without serious political change, and replacing politicians who don't care about middle America? Or are they deliberately trying to destroy middle America? Many believe so. Many Americans are guilty of ENVY, and don't care. But it affects us all, not just people with a nickel more and are envious of them.

Somebody needs to ask Janet Yellen if inflation is a problem or not. She (and her team) was really asleep at the wheel when everybody else was wondering about how bad inflation was going to be. At least she (sort of) admitted to the miss.

1. The US stock market has bounced back from downturns every single time, and has done so without regard to who happens to be in political office.
2. If you're still accumulating assets for retirement or some other future need, as I am, you should be licking your chops at this golden opportunity to acquire assets that are expected to appreciate in value at today's lower prices.

Carter wanted to live to see a president worse than him. With Biden, that mission has been accomplished.

When hasn't the market knee-jerked when the Fed makes an announcement. My advice is to get out of the market as soon as possible or quit whining.

So, when did it become the job of your President to protect capitalism?

Last I looked, I had lost high 5 figures since your boy has been in. It's probably six figures now.

You'll have to forgive Turkeytop. He has been taught from Canadian schools to his union on to hate Capitalism.

He owns a second home in our country. He's made it.

Just like all those Chicago liberal activists who get out of Dodge when trouble starts. Which is every weekend, and during the 2020 real insurrection riots.

Canada used to be a friendly place several decades ago, Quebec notwithstanding. Now they're taught to hate the US.

TCT would be run out of town on rails if he was a major firm stockbroker for giving that advice.

I don't know any Canadians who hate the US. I spend about half my year in the US. More than Half my income is from the US. We have many dear friends in the US.

Hate?

My prudently-diversified stock/bond portfolio is still in the black under Mr. Biden. Sorry to hear that you screwed the pooch when managing your portfolio.
