They’re stealing from the little people.

They also own companies that employ a lot of people, invest, lowering the cost of capital, and spend into the economy, whereas the “lower half” buy smokes and lottery tickets.

My 401k dropped by 25% in the first pandemic month. It has, since, recovered somewhat. It is now down about 5% from the pre-pandemic amounts. This means that this month I have made an HUGE “profit.”

This article is irrelevant to anything except, the “rich people bad” narrative. Hey, hippies! Poor people do not employ you. Rich people do. If you want the economy to move, enjoy your iPhones and Starbucks’ coffee, the inevitable evil is some rich guy is profiting off that. Oh, and a host of retirement funds own Apple and Starbucks stock.

Support Trump or not, his weakness is putting too much emphasis on the stock market as a measure of a good economy

He has not helped the middle class reach the standard of living they enjoyed in the Eighties.

The rich get richer and the poor go broke.

Hmmm, I wonder how much Pelosi’s husband has made off of the crisis so far. I am sure there were many properties that went bankrupt in CA and he just happened to swoop in and buy them up.

If ya are bored, throw in a Senator's name and see how he/she has done vs the S&P.

Pat Roberts, Jeff Flake and few more should have a hedge fund.

emotions are not a means of knowledge

Envy and resentment against achievement are what lefturd loons do

Not surprising. Many of them are part of the global Elite and part of Agenda 21 and probably Pilgrim Project.

Notice the “23 days” puts us in the recovery of a major stock market decline. If they had their starting point be Jan 1, they would have shown a significant decline.
