Right now I’m down about 15 % from the high.

27% in my case and assured that I would be working for many more years instead of retirement. I was about to pull the trigger on retirement.

Im holding large in SPAXX and IDSXX, but maintain some in some other Fidelity funds that I like when things look good and we have adults in charge. I retired last year, but I haven’t had to dip into my mutual funds yet.

We are to believe that is what the people wanted ... and voted for in 2020.

Well, DUH, I’m so happy Fidelity is there to set us straight with the facts of life.

Whatever would we do without them?

The heads at Fidelity are in private hedge funds...they made money.

That’s why they are called “wage slaves”. Work them until they are dead.

40%-45% allegedly approve of Biden’s handling of the economy and tens of millions wish they could vote Dem now but have to wait for 2024.

48% of Americans have no investments.

Been retired 12 years. Now it’s looking grim. I’m too old/tired to work. Not eligible for anything but SS. 401k dropping like a rock tossed from a plane. And Canada/Globalists pushing for euthanasia for people like me. I feel sorry for the next generation. I’ve lived my life.

Except for those who have no retirement savings. They lost nothing.
Who is going to pay for them in old age?
Those that do have savings!

My stock fell quite a lot last year but is going back up now.
The better news is I do not owe any federal taxes for 2022....

I know that feeling. I can continue to work, but do so in great pain. I’ll go as far as I can, but at some point as I told my wife I’ll say not today.

The progressives and government have turned on the people and are making them slaves of the state. It will not turn out well for either.

Look at the bright side, Biden is fully funding the (bloated) salaries of Ukraines corrupt regime and paying their pensions. After all they steal in office, they’ll be rich and we’ll be impoverished.
