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.

Yeah, ok. But the quote you used proves my point.

Bye bye, Uncle Rico.

Nope. The balanced portfolio that I was referring to would have a mix of large, medium, and small cap index funds. Throw in a total stock market fund for stability and an international and a tech fund for fun and you'd be set.

I don't work for free, where should I send your invoice?

Yeah, this stagnant, volatile market is just great. Much better than that steadily gaining market under obama that nearly tripled. Fuck tripling your money, we want stagnation

You cuck

It's laughable that you think the DOW is reflective of the ENTIRE market, implying that no one is making any money, anywhere. I'll bet my nest egg that you weren't a business major. Certainly not finance. Please tell me you at least attended community college, you dependent.

I may not have a PhD from trump university like you do, but I do know that a volatile, stagnant market is way better than when Obama tripled the market, and that is just an inescapable alternative fact of life

I haven't met a business major who was worth a damn.

Mutual funds every month for literally the last 20 years. I buy high, I buy low. I don't even look at the DJIA. I started young and I've still got a few decades of investing to do before I'm required to touch my nest egg.

If you actually do this, you are among the very few who do. Math is pretty simple though. Kick in 5 bucks a day {into no load mutual funds} from age 20 to age 60, and it will turn into $1M. A cup of Starbucks a day or a Million Bucks. You decide.

Exactly! It's not rocket science. It blows my mind that people don't understand the beauty of compound interest.
