This is the worst year for stock and bond investors since 1969—here’s what to do with your money

They surely would had prevented it.

 

Um... the world economy is the to the US economy.

 

Way too little too late. Should had started way earlier versus allowing for people to claim that inflation was transitory. The increases should have been more than the meager 75 points, especially with the amount of additional spending that was occurring during this inflationary period.

 

Nope HERE it is OUR monetary inflation, OUR tight energy supplies, OUR President helicoptering free money as fast as he can.

 

On this we agree.

 

Agreed. But Trump would have dished out more.

Perhaps government would be less likely to engage in inflationary policies if it were. Perhaps more people would vote for candidates who were more business and growth oriented if it were. And over any 10 year period you would be ahead.

Are you saying Biden is so going to wreak the economy that there is going to be a total stockmarket crash and a loss of all capital? I doubt the special Social Security T-Bills wouldn't be worth much more since they would probably be a contributing cause.

 

I opposed Trump's second stimulus so you won't find cover for Biden who then passed another and even bigger one there but no even a third by Trump had he done one would not have been as near the Biden spending.

 

Democrats call it called equity: when everyone is impoverished, we have succeeded in creating equitable equality.

 

Trump would just give a tax break to the Rich, who will horde it. Have you noticed trickle down hasn't worked?

At least with the stimulus, some poor people will also get it and actually spend it.

 

I'd rather take the Australian approach!!! If you can work, WORK, Funny how freely the Australians are with American money while their own welfare system promotes productivity first

I ran an investment management firm for forty years. My advice is seek an advisor with the background and record of success to construct and manage your portfolio according to your stage in life and your financial situation. Your emotions will cause you harm in doing it yourself.

 

LOL! I have only ever lost money from investing. And that includes Mutual Funds now.

I think that the big stock trading businesses are colluding together to lower the stock market by bulk trading the market lower, and try to scare the Federal Reserve into reversing its high interest rates policy.

 

All the Western governments provided stimuli during Covid. The problem is that money wasn't squirreled away during good times and those countries, particularly the US and to a lesser Australia, are going to unnecessarily suffer as a consequence.

 

If you invested in them long term would wouldn't have and it would have out paced Social Security. The big stock trading business has no interest in which way the market goes as long as people are trading. The FED doesn't gauge it's actions on the stock market it is supposed to gauge it on the economic output of the economy.

 

Trump had our economy growing out of the first stimulus money which would have abated any appreciable inflation. I opposed his 2020 stimulus which was mild but unnecessary and I believe just him trying to preempt Biden from passing one when he took office to try and take some credit. Well it didn't work and Biden having to have SOMETHING for which HE could take credit for getting the economy going passed his even MORE unnecessary hey everyone just stay home and collect more unemployment and child credits and eviction moratoriums and FREE MONEY. At the same time he was reversing Trump era pro-business policies and reinstating anti-business regulations Trump had rescinded and then started his war on our domestic energy production.

OUR economy is in his court and no one else. And he speech today showed he is more interested in passing blame than offering anything to mitigate it. The more we suffer the more he thinks people will vote for him if he can keep blaming others.

 

I don't think so with all the supply chain disruptions. And none of that is the fault of any executive branch.

 

You avoid the point

If it's a Democrat, of course not. Silly us for noticing the war on fossil-fuels and subsequent increase in prices of fuel and thus, everything else................hey look, a squirrel

 

Perhaps in our SecTrans had not taken a 3 month maternity leave, for which he was not entitled, and Biden had actually appointed someone who knew what he was doing and if Biden himself wasn't in the back pocket of the unions the disruption could have been mitigated to some extent.

You know Biden ran and was elected because he said he had a plan for everything. COVID he had a plan. The economy he had a plan. Employment he had a plan. Energy he had a plan. Now with everything so screwed up all I hear from his defenders is that president's can't do anything.
