Typically, I’m a selective buyer in situations like this. It’s one of the reasons I was able to retire very early, and live off investments for the last 10+ years.

Not right now. His behavior and its effects for longer term uncertainty have me on hold. Not long after his 150 days are up, we’ll have mid-terms to add another level of uncertainty.

I’ll just watch and hold for a bit. Not a seller. Just not a buyer.

@Reagan will be in soon to tell you what you should expect/do

I’ll pass. If I retired way early, not sure the best advice is to take advice from someone who didn’t. lol

Steady as she goes, of course. I was just seconding your statement that business doesn’t like uncertainty.

DOW down 660 on uncertainty created by the Chaos-in-Chief.

Didn't the Dow and S&P hit all time highs?  As always -- nothing goes up in a straight line.

So does Trump get credit for the Dow being less than 44,000 on Inauguration Day to where it is now?

Or are you simply a hypocritical hack that only chimes in when the market drops?

And you’re one of the financial geniuses that claimed Trump was going to destroy the markets a year ago.

Lots of articles posted here come from “X”. Like has already been said, if you can’t disprove it, then go cry somewhere else.

Amazing the folks that can’t seem to figure out how X works, lol.

You ignore the point. Uncertainty caused a drop. If things stay uncertain the drop will continue. November looms ever larger.

I don’t care to know how it works. Can’t be any harder to figure out than Facebook (don’t do it either), and they have 3.5 billion users last I read. Complicated, it can’t be.

I don’t understand it but I’m going to criticize it.

Spoken like a true democrat.

Why would anyone try to understand a platform that you can hear directly from Congressman and politicians when you can just wait for CNN to tell you what they said😂

We had comments yesterday slamming Trump for markets dropping, didn’t see any kudos for him today. 🙂

For what, making up less than 1/2 of the loss? I take it you’ve bought more then today since you feel so good about it?

You should be worried about long-term issues. EU has delayed signing their trade deal, as have all the rest.

I may not have slammed him for the markets. But, he’s doing a great deal of damage.

The ones who slam for a day swing in the markets up or down, don’t need to be in the market.

Remember, the EU is our largest trading partner. This was a key trade deal.

It was a joke that you didn’t need to get involved in, and I certainly don’t need a lecture on market swings.

If politicians lie as often as most everyone says they do (all parties) why look for what they say online? I’d rather read reporting on what they actually do.

Y’all go back and forth so much, it’s hard to tell.

Do you feel comfortable enough to invest extra in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etf’s, or anything besides fixed income right now?

I ask to see how comfortable you—or anyone else who wants to reply—is in the economy right now.

 I'm still wide open in the stock market at 60 years old - In a couple years I'm going to get more conservative, but history of stock market, it always climbs...I don't understand ETF's - I will invest in them at some point, but as much as I would spend at the Casino

I am still holding. I buy good companies with solid history, and good divvies. ETF’s are just a basket like mutual funds that are treated like stock, so they’re more liquid and don’t have the fees mutual funds typically do.

I was hoping to buy more of one I own already purchased last year (NLR - a side play on AI & nuclear power generation), but they didn’t drop as much as I’d hoped and I also got a little skittish.

NLR is the ticker if interested. We bought about a year ago. It’s done what I’d hoped so far. I think nuclear is a good bet with all the data centers coming online. But, just a guess like the casino. Hopefully, a little better odds.

We obviously have a majority in investments as it’s our income. I move around. But, don’t ever remove except for a monthly check for us to live on.
