S&P 500 touches record high as furious rally continues

[dobieg]

How many of you who pulled your money out of the market because you were sure Trump would tank the economy are still sitting on the sidelines?

I remember many of you laughing when I suggested we'd see new record highs by the fall. I was wrong. It happened much earlier. The only question for myself is how many wheelbarrows I'll need for all this money I'm making.

The S&P 500 (^GSPC) added 0.6% and was on pace to close at its first record high since February. The benchmark index touched a new record intraday high just after the open.

The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) also moved up around 0.6%, touching a record intra-session high and pacing for its own record close. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) added 0.9%, or over 300 points.

You mean after all these months it's just starting to crawl back to where it was when Biden left office? LOL OK.

BTW, has the price of milk come down yet?

What's the CPI and PCE been the past 3 months?

I know, all the liberal predictions of gloom and doom are falling by the wayside.

Markets go up and down. When they go up you gloat, when they go down you whine. Human nature.

Here I am in my senior years, financially secure, with all the money I need to be comfortable and well taken care off in my old age, and yet...................... I NEVER once played in any markets.

Imagine that!

I don't recall you giving that advice to some here who were shorting the market a few months back with the likes of SPXU and SQQQ. I remember I strongly advised against it on numerous occasions.

Lord have mercy. And if it crashes next month, or even next year, should we revisit THIS thread?

Is this all you have to offer, is ANY chance to tie ANYTHING to putting down the "liberals?" Gawd, the small-minded and boastful attitudes of insecure Righties who will abandon their own threads if their boasting blows up on them.

Nothing wrong with celebrating, but one attack by Iran, or one failed trade deal, or one bank failure and POW, another market crash. I am not predicting that but there are worrying signs:

If this is what gives you the jollies, I guess it gives you the jollies. I get my jollies in other ways. Just sayin'

If you can please post any market advice I gave at any time, I would appreciate it. The exact quote would be nice. I never played the market. I have done fine without it. Now can we move on or do you want to flog a dead horse and make accusations you can't back up some more?

I'm active on here whether markets are up or down.


And yes I will gladly gloat after the months of smarmy liberals whining about the markets and everything else under the sun. I do very much enjoy it.

Man it's almost like Trump backed off his Liberation Day tariff demands once the market started crashing.

I thought about it when the market was tanking and you all said we deserved it.

Nuff said?

You gave no advice back then when some could have used it but you sure are quick to jump in to minimize the current market uptrends.

What are you running a victory lap over? Retailers are warning we're going to see the results of trump's tariffs this summer. Certain projects are already constrained and prices have been increased. It's hilarious that you guys declare victory every time the stock market creeps back up nowhere near the level it was under Biden. Then again, if Republicans knew anything about economics they wouldn't have taken a hammer to the middle class with trickle down.

What advice did I just give? JAYSUS.

Markets go up and down. When they go up you gloat, when they go down you whine. Human nature.

Where is the advice? I stated an obvious observation.

I NEVER once played in any markets.

Hmmmm, I never told anyone NOT to play the markets, I just stated that I never did.

Lord have mercy. And if it crashes next month, or even next year, should we revisit THIS thread?

A question. Was THAT giving advice. It was a question.

Nothing wrong with celebrating, but one attack by Iran, or one failed trade deal, or one bank failure and POW, another market crash. I am not predicting that but there are worrying signs:

Again, no advice given.

Now, I already asked........

Now can we move on or do you want to flog a dead horse?

Every exchange we have ever had is the same, you HAVE TO HAVE the last word no matter how silly it makes you sound. SO once again, it's yours, as clearly you need to get the last lick in. Cheers.

I'm glad its back up there. I do give credit to Trump and his policies for focusing on difficult systemic issues long term issues rather than Biden's short term band-aid fixes of throwing taxpayers dollars at every downtrodden industry or person.

Prices are even higher than when Biden left. Stock market is just starting to crawl back up to where it was when he left. WINNING!!!

Connections with Trump's inner circle could help quite a bit too, I am sure.

Obviously, he's been bragging about it himself.
But it didn't require a lot to realize that things will eventually turn around and that after the S&P had dropped by over 1,000 points it's a good time to start buying.
"Never bet against America" as they say.

Well, at least there's consistency in the MAGAverse over celebrating conditions improving once this administration's policies retreat.

I don't have too many cards to play in that we're in the market for the long term and that's been our plan for most of the last decade, when we gradually got more and more bold with our investment strategy. Our investment goal now is basically our kid's inheritance.

But I am very aware when we have even short down periods and I view them as buying opportunities. When we have extra money available, we most definitely take advantage of those opportunities to add a little.

I spent some time checking out our various accounts last night and it was nothing but fun. Gosh, things are really positive right now.

 

[TobyOne]

Where are all the threads from the "experts" who cheered when the markets were down? Scurried away like cockroaches. I hope they sold at the bottom.

I diverted a lot of my investments in the market from lower risk to higher risk when I figured we're nearing the turning point (When S&P dropped below 5,000 points), to make the eventual comeback worth more. I lost a lot of it initially which was quite scary but then I made a hell of a lot more than I even hoped to. I'm now back at my usual strategy, just with a lot of gains.

The market is basically now just barely clawing back to where it was when Biden left office.

And yet it was horrible then, but really positive right now? How do you get that to make any sense?

when the markets go down, you gloat..... right?
