I don’t know. If Elizabeth Warren is the RAT nominee I would expect it to hurt stock prices. If she were to get elected I would expect a HUGE selloff and a market crash. Be careful!
“Buy high.”
They’ll send a limo.
If President Trump wins re-election next year, I will definitely be upping my 401k contribution. If, God forbid, a democrat wins, I’ll be cutting my contribution down to 6%.
I personally prefer the crap table. The chance of winning are ALMOST one in three.
My husband and I enjoy researching and buying our own stocks through Vanguard. We are retired and have nothing better to do and it is fun. For instance, we just bought more MDCO today after it going up over $20+ to $70 in the last two days alone! Better jump in.....analysts say it’s going much higher!
Our return for the year is 33%+ so far on all our stocks!
The trend is your friend, until it’s not.
The turkey loves the trend until Thanksgiving.
I’m diversified in Fidelity and Vanguard. I lose less than the market when it falls and make less when it rises but I make enough to withdraw 4 percent annually for retirement.
My AMD stock went up about $10 this past month.
Today’s price $41.29
I almost sold when as it was meandering around $28 to $34 for much of the year. The trade war is dying down or more predictable for Wall Street. AMD is gaining market share.
There is a more than just a little cherry-picking in that statement.
In late 2018 the S&P dropped almost 20%, hitting a low on December 24.
A lot of the "best year" is just a recovery from that drop.
OTOH, the market is doing quite well and I am happy.
I fear interest rate risk more than market risk...and have for a while.
Volatility is (most likely) not dead. Buy on the dips.
