You should have made wiser investment choices.
PS - how much have you netted since he took office?

The S&P 500 is down. The Dow is down. Small Caps Index is down. So tell me, what "wiser investment" was I supposed to make?
First quarter of 2018 was a loss as well.
Go back to the kiddy table.
Whine and complain about Trump.
I am not sure. He was going to sue everybody one time. So, I thought he was a lawyer. Then, he was going to kick a guys ass at a Marshall game. So, I was thinking he was a UFC fighter, boxer, or maybe a bouncer.
Well it's the one, surefire way to get him to abandon a thread. Just ask him what he does for a living.
Give him time. He had to go to the ER for his sciatica
I wonder if the cacksucker from hell will donate the money that he's made from the market, if he has made any, which is doubtful, obviously because it's hard to pull any type of retirement plan from McDonald's, to some charitable organization because he don't like the president that gave it to him, and, thus, he shouldn't accept it?
Wrong!
Starting balance at beginning of quarter =$XXX,XXX.
Ending balance at end of quarter =$XXX,XXX minus $40k. It isn’t difficult to understand.
well, shit, thought maybe you had something to bitch about.
$X,XXX,XXX - $78,980
I'm a bit smarter than u, obviously, though, so no worries here.
Good luck, faggit.
It’s a loss. Hahahahahahaha.
Are you pretending to be this dumb?
If you called your bank today and asked for your balance and they told you it was $750,000 and you called tomorrow and asked and they told you your balance was $710,000, you think that would be a loss on paper?
You think it wouldn’t really be a loss since you didn’t sell or “take it out?”
It’s mind boggling how stupid some of you on this forum are.
It’s a paper loss you physically never had the money. You leave it in another quarter and it goes back up therefore no loss
Yes, I had the money. It was mine. That was my balance in my account. You should have one of your idiot friends come to your rescue. You really look bad. This is three times in this thread you have been a complete moron. If I wanted to withdraw every penny, they would have given me $750,000 or $710,000, depending on the time of the withdrawal.
Since big country is supposedly a bank executive, hell, even if he’s just a bank teller, he should be able to explain to you that it is my money and it is real money and not “paper money.”
Yes, he is. And, this chapter is on liberal welfare pieces of s***. You fit.
Actually, it's not your money, it's an unrealized capital gain. It doesn't become your money until you sell the stock, realize the gain and pay the resulting taxes. What's left over is your money.
It's interesting that dherd also didn't understand this concept. Even though he is a world renowned CPA and division I athlete, he argued that cash and stocks were the same when looking at liquidity. Must be some type of liberal block on the brain. Too worried about spending other people's money to understand your own.

It is my money. It is my money in an investment account. If I want to cash out, they give me the account balance at the time.
Did all of you morons attend MU’s business school? Did any of you morons attend MU’s business school.
It must just be an idiot right winger thing. Do you right wingers not invest at all?
You know this ass clown is talking about a 401k and not readily available cash. Hell hes probably exaggerating too
Understanding the Difference Between Paper and Actual Profits
Investors commonly justify poor investment decisions because of paper gains or losses. Consider these three examples:
- Although an investor officially recognizes a transaction when he or she sells the investment security, or covers a short position, many investors believe they haven't lost any money in a sinking investment because they haven't yet sold it. Even though there is no capital loss for tax purposes, there is still a loss in value. Keep in mind that a 25% loss in value on paper still requires a 33.3% gain on the remaining value just to break even. The odds that the investment will make money go down when paper losses mount
You called someone an idiot for calling it a paper loss but they were correct. . .
I suggest you get a savings account. Then, it will be your money and you can take it out and look at the cash.
It’s an actual loss in value...as substantiated by your link. And, that is exactly what your link is cautioning people about; the mindset that it isn’t an actual loss in value.
You said you wanted to get your cash. No chance at loss. Put it in there and go count it.
Stick to the topic of the thread (the last month).
Dow went from 26,562 to 25,317.
S&P went from 2,919 to 2,755.
NASDAQ went from 7,993 to 7,437.
I am on topic.
You want to measure a long term investment account's return by comparing a month's performance vs. 2 years? That's exactly what a moron would do?
Perhaps you should read your portfolio’s performance like you did that chart on coal production. Sucks when that works in reverse for you, doesn’t it?
