If one were smart enough to know they should invest but too dumb and lazy to put together a balanced portfolio themselves, they could mail-it-in by investing in a total stock market fund. You don't have to be a finance major to appreciate these numbers. Maybe you do actually? Ok, these returns would be considered stellar.
It came very close to being much much worse,they barely averted another explosion that could have destroyed the other 3 reactors.
Yeah, I saw that. Those poor fuckers at the end of the episode. I guess somebody else will be pushing past their corpses next week. Too bad that 400 ruble pension did not go to their families.
Too dumb or lazy?
People who buy Cheerios are too dumb or lazy to just buy the oats and other ingredients and make their own.
Maybe $1? Depends on the index fund's minimum.
Again, that's specific to a fund. All the Vanguard products that I have have zero transaction fees and insanely low expense ratios.
Did you miss that fact that I quoted an index fund above? Do you even invest, bro? It's CLEAR that you don't so tell me; are you too broke or dumb to invest?
Is that what this thread is about? Some sort of contest between presidents? I'm beginning to think it might be. It's not an apples to apples comparison as Obama took office near the bottom of the recession. Those gains were great too. I just dollar-cost-averaged all the way to the bottom and all the way back up. Regardless of one's political bias, you should be putting money in the market.“The U.S. Stock Market
U.S. stocks gained 21% for the first two years of the Trump administration. That translates to a 10% annual return, which is 0.5 percentage points above the long-run average. By comparison, U.S. stocks gained 71.2% in the first two years of the Obama administration, and the 30.8% annualized return bested the historical average by 21.3 percentage points”
Like homebrewer said - it’s knowing exactly where to invest. It’s at this point people engage in insider trading. Trump is not leading a damned thing.

Did you forget that you said index funds were for people too stupid or lazy to put together their own portfolio that mimics the Dow?
How many shares will your broker let you short with your portfolio? Are the $25 monthly in food stamps considered?
Actually Trump has aimed the miracle markets and the booming economy at his own head. His claims don’t match his record and since he is dedicated to outdoing and burying Obama then yes it seems this is what it’s about eh?
I never said index funds were for the stupid and the lazy. I said 'If one were smart enough to know they should invest but too dumb and lazy to put together a balanced portfolio themselves,they could mail-it-in by investing in a total stock market fund.' You don't read so well, do you?
Yeah, every president takes credit for shiz they didn't do, Obama and Trump being great examples. I don't concern myself with that though.
