JDHillFan Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) Over the last year there were some posters here that were very enthused with stock market performance. Who could blame them? It was quite good and anyone with a 401k did very well. We had: Frankish showing his S&P excitement with an emphatic “not.bad.at.all” Roundy giving us “my stocks are going to the mooooon” Tibs - “this market ❤️” Redhawk - “maga this, Susan Collins that” Anyway, it’s time to see how much better President Brandon did than the horrible orange man that preceded him. Let’s have a look: https://www.axios.com/2025/01/19/biden-trump-stock-market-gains President Biden will leave office having presided over a very strong stock market, but not quite as strong as either of his two predecessors. The big picture: The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite all gained more during Trump's first term than during Biden's. By the numbers: The S&P 500 gained 66.5% under Trump and 57.9% under Biden. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 56.8% under Trump and 40.2% under Biden. The Nasdaq composite gained a whopping 137.5% under Trump, and 47.1% under Biden. Please don’t shoot the messenger. The data is what it is. Edited February 1 by JDHillFan 2

It's really been pretty good under both, and back with Obama, and before the 2008 crash, it had been fine with the Bozos Clinton and Bush W. If Trump keeps with this tariff stupidity, he might not rank very well after all is said and done. Hopefully good sense prevails 1

T master Posted February 1 Posted February 1 1 hour ago, Trump_is_Mentally_fit said: Which president said made this incredibly ignorant statement? “Tariffs don’t cause inflation. They cause success,” the president said. 1) Biden 2) Trump Well if any of you yahoo's injected any common sense at all it your thought pattern (which we know you don't) you might realize that he is trying to have us buy American made products ! And possibly have those companies that because of greed have have moved their manufacturing to China & allowed them to take over manufacturing and own our economy . How soon we forget what happened during the pandemic when every one was afraid they wouldn't be able to wipe their own A** because of a toilet paper shortage, i know of at least 3 paper plants that have been shut down in Ga. right off of I-75 that just maybe use to produce paper products but not any more . This country use to be able to stand on it's own 2 feet and no matter what happened else where we knew we didn't need any one to take care of our own but due to American (Laziness) entitlement mentality & greedy companies now that have went else where instead of here on American soil which has hurt our labor force and our economic independence . But what the hell as long as we can sit on our a** and collect our welfare checks it's all good because we know the Federal gov't would never let us go with out because they can just print more money and pay for us all including any of those that want to come here illegally and get free stuff too - right ? If they made those collecting gov't assistance have to do anything for what they receive and have jobs here that they could go to to get off public assistance instead of making a life of living off the gov't "Free bees" things might be a bit different but it's not . I know plenty of small towns that are flat A** broke where i grew up Lockport use to be a city that had plenty of work for those that lived there and now doesn't have the money to keep up the roads but by god Walmart built a brand new store on transit to sell Chinese made goods to all of those that don't have a job any more so they can go there with their free gov't money to support the Chinese economy . The collective American mind set today in a huge part of a lot of people - is give me my EBT card, my welfare check, my free health care, my free cell phone, pay for my housing, and electric, water, and internet just because I'M AN AMERICAN AND I DESERVE IT JUST BECAUSE I'M AMERICAN !!! Use to be health care was a perk, cell phones and internet was a luxury item, but no more EVERY BODY GETS A TROPHY ... So if he is at least trying to bring jobs and production back here i'll pay a bit more for what i use to buy American ! I always try to look for American made when i shop any way and i have sworn off Walmart too and try to shop elsewhere if at all possible, because i am a Old School American that has a little True American pride left unlike many others ... 1

B-Man Posted Thursday at 08:52 PM Posted Thursday at 08:52 PM I look forward to the mea culpas when the market inevitably rises Oh who am I kidding, they’ll just scamper away and hide 😆
Bray Wyatt Posted Thursday at 08:55 PM Posted Thursday at 08:55 PM This is such a nothing burger at this point, there is uncertainty with all the tariffs etc. and people do not like that in investing. Once the dust settles on everything in a few months everything will be back fine.

Wouldn't it be nice to know when he decides to "change his mind" about tariffs and such?? Somebody's making a mint...wonder who? 1
