Dow plunges 665 points as stocks post worst week in 2 years

Only people who don't understand the markets will panic... It directly relates to the increased interest rates. 10 year bonds are now at 2.8% return, there's some people wanting to go in that direction.

which is why only an idiot of a president tries to claim it as a great accomplishment when it rises

Obama NEVER did
 
Did you thank him for the rise, you maggot?

No, but I thanked President Obama from saving the US economy from the Bush Jr. recession and tripling my 401k in just eight years and allowing me to retire five years early, you backwoods hillbilly.

I put my money in real estate because that's what I understand. I have a mutual fund that I keep for the long term so selling isn't a thought. I remember this feeling in '99 and mid aught's that current economic conditions will go on forever. It feels like that when times are good. Been through too many cycles now to know otherwise.

There are going to be massive repercussions as a result of QE. I know you are a Trump supporter but I'd be careful offering him so much credit because there are a lot of things controlling the economy that are out of his control and it will take a turn.

land

they are not making much more of it these days
 
Well, hopefully it doesn't take 30 years or more to unwind.

But as far as understanding inflation as a Democrat do you think there will be no negative repercussions for the years of QE (keeping interest rates at essentially zero)?

There are already massive repercussions.
Ask anyone on a fixed income or any low income earner.
 
they refuse t see the connections


the wealthy want a bust and boon economy

that is why they always insist its NOT GROWING ENOUGH


they want to over rev it to cause a boom and then a bust
 
ROFL @ "inflation'..
what do you think you get when interests rates come into play and more money by more wages is chasing the same goods and services?

Inflation is going to hurt me when I go on SSA in 2 years, but it's the price to pay for a booming economy.

There are an awful lot of people already on fixed incomes yoi greedy selfish shitstain.
 
We just saw eight years of not reaching 3% annual GDP growth once. Not exactly a roaring story for the Keynesians to tell. Look at the great growth in Clinton's second term. That was led by deregulation and supply side capital gains tax cuts.

As far as inflation you can't print money like we did under Bernanke and Yellen and not expect inflation.

I'd rather have < 3% annual GDP growth and > 200% gain in the stock market. My 401k tripled during President Obama's eight years in the White House.
That's all that matters to me. So take your 3% growth and STFU!!!

Isn't real estate investments negatively affected by rising interest rates? I have money in REITs and they've struggled this year.
 
"Stocks fell sharply Friday after a stronger-than-expected jobs report sent interest rates higher."

That's just speculation. I'd like to know where you got that quote. Whenever the market has a large gain or fall, financial gurus try to make sense of it but it's all guesswork. I've also read that the market fell because of the cryptocurrency bubble bursting and investors wanting to take profits.
One could say that a stronger-than-expected jobs report should be positive for the market and higher interest rates would target investors away from bonds and towards stocks.

I guess you're not smart enough to process financial data and make sense of it. I suspect you're not a very successful investor.
Well, you know what they say: "A fool and his money are soon parted".
BWWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!

Yes, low interest rates fueled the early 2000's housing bubble and have done so again today. I buy property that I fix up and manage. I don't buy reit's but yes reit's have struggled here recently
