Dow closed today at 23,327. This is 13.0% off the Record All-Time High.
Another 1% gain today.


US stocks post worst year in a decade as the S&P 500 falls more than 6% in 2018

Both indexes logged in their biggest annual losses since 2008, when they plunged 38.5 percent and 33.8 percent, respectively. The Nasdaq Composite lost 3.9 percent in 2018, its worst year in a decade, when it dropped 40 percent.

This year also marks the first time ever the S&P 500 posts a decline after rising in the first three quarters.

Duh
Then Duh
And Duh

NEWSFLASH: Markets are responding to the Election. Duh. The Voters chose to have another Rock-The-Vote Recession. Duh. The last time was 2006 Election, when the Markets waited until the Rock-The-Vote Democrap's very first FY Budget went into effect on 1 October 2007. Duh. Hint: 2007 was the last time Markets grew for the first 3 Quarters, then lost in the 4th Calendar Quarter. Duh. Does history repeat itself? Duh. For those who don't understand or mislabel or lie about history, are doomed to repeat it. Duh. This time the Markets didn't wait for 10 months, when their money is at stake and the future is known, as demonstrated by the last Rock-The-Vote Recession. Duh.

You really are the most Duh-llard of Trolls, aren't you?

NEWSFLASH: tomorrow morning, if you look to the East, you could see the Sun rise. Stay tuned tomorrow for BREAKING NEWS about which direction the next morning's event is predicted to occur.

I was thinking of starting one for my niece.

Education funds have been proven to be a pretty good scam. Wisconsin has EdVest, which my mom opened for each of her grandchildren. Perhaps originally having honest intention, the University has corrupted it (they think your money is their money).

If you find an isolated, non-corrupted 529 plan: if it is untaxed, then this reduces the amount of your pay going to the Government - good plan. If it eventually goes to your niece, this is better than Inheritance Taxes.

In the next 10 years, to you trust Lawmakers to not corrupt the rules? You've heard of Lawmakers confiscating Pensions? Corrupting the intent of Social Security?

Yeah. I didn't know much about them. I figured they were like an IRA but you could choose a designee for their schooling.

Then again, I don't really trust that our IRA's or 401k's are going to be there for us in our retirement, let alone the value of the dollar itself.

Do Right, Be Right. :)
