An increase of 4,540 since taking office. Which is 23%, or 26.8% APR.

An increase of 5,940 since Election Day. Which is 32.4%, or over 30.5% APR.

Plus, 21% gain since crossing above 20K, when Jump Out JO said to Jump Out.

BTW, that 32% in only 1 year and 3 weeks is double the 16% that Obama and the Democraps allowed in their first 2 years. Like 4x the Rate of gains.

I've got a 401k next year that the company will match 100% of the first 6% of pay. That will be 100% gains just putting the money in there, on top of avoiding 10% tax penalty on anything that goes in as well. I figure between that and an HSA I should shelter most of my income from the lowest tax bracket tax next year. It's all going into safe funds though. I'm getting too old to gamble, and my money is a lot harder earned that it was when I won a lot on the market.


Tax breaks and company matches are the only sure things in the market. Anybody else telling you otherwise is selling you snake oil.

On the way to becoming a millionaire (actually it is $1,066,757), if you invested in Vanguard mutual funds in the last 27 years, there were 6 years when you lost money or barely broke even. 2018 could be another losing year. You never know.

And its not like the orijinal reazon haz to be truly important. All that haz to happen iz investorz start to notis that the wale iz moving, then the smaller fish will follow and in a flash its a stampede, then an avalanche that takes down everything.

A possible trigger just happened. The Senate passed Trump's debt exploder bujet. Hoo cannot see the parallel to Bush jr'z wakadoodle financial poliseez?

Maybe you meant a trigger to skyrocket.
