And maybe you should check your "facts".
Over half of Americans DO own stocks. That would be a majority. Uofa teaching you how to just make sheit up and post it?
A simple search would have shown you that you were wrong here, instead of getting embarrassed.

The latest available government data, via the Federal Reserve from 2016, shows a relatively small share of American families (14%) are directly invested in individual stocks but a majority (52%) have some market investment mostly from owning retirement accounts such as 401(k)s.

oops

doh!

How many folks do you know in the service or gig economy ya think have 401K's??
Ask your bartender if He/She has one?

I know I don't.

I have to agree with you here. Markets seem to operate independent of who is in office. In 2008-9 the market got hammered.. Obama was elected in late 08.. and the market started to become Bullish about spring of 09.. and that rally is still running like a bull. There were corrections in Aug 2016, Fall of 18, and of course the Co 19 fear thing and it fell a ton. nice comeback though. People need to listen to Warren Buffet. He says to spend time doing your homework, and then find companies that are trading at a discount.. buy ones that pay dividends.. and then hold them forever.. The rest of the cycles are just Drama..

and if you had invested just $4000 in Home Depot in the early 80's, and held on, you could sell the stock for over $290 MILLION, and this is 38 years later. Coca Cola, the dog for 15 years, would still return $300g and pay you $6000 a yr in dividends.. after the 15% US tax... that's your startup times 1.5

Donald will lose income from not having the Secret Service staying at his properties 8000 nights a year.

Isn't that a Beatles song?

I'm not embarrassed. I was wrong. Happened before and it will happen again. I would be embarrassed if I voted twice for the most unqualified, least compassionate, cheating, lying, bullying idiot to ever be POTUS.

what's to explain? whenever he went to Mar-a-lago (or whatever the hell it is called) or anywhere else to play golf, it was always at one of his properties. The secret service had to have accommodations. They stayed at Trump's hotels and Trump charged the government for it.

OK the show is over (or is it?)

Congratulations to Joe Biden for winning the election. May he put the will and well being of the people first,and before any political agenda, and may God give him the wisdom to do the job

There, I said it... and that is the only appropriate response to this whole thing.

and Donald can go back to making some real money, as he did the job for free

SO: I hope y;all are happy now. Let's see how this all shakes down

He was elected to put forth his political agenda. That’s the will of the people.

How did Biden win???














































Bigly! :)
