AU64 10,122 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Unemployment about 4.1%....at least people will be able to find another job instead of hitting the welfare lines. And nice that my retirement plan grew by almost 20% in the past year after a half dozen years of stagnation. Hoping you had good luck with your investments too.

DKW 86 7,424 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Brick & Mortar Retailers are tanking, who knew? Well, just about everybody. Guvmt Motors losing jobs? I'll be able to sleep at night. Meanwhile, we are adding on to the plant and buying more material than ever. Our orders are way up. Two days ago, I met with the contractors on a new $1M+ Network upgrade. Yesterday, I met with the new fiber provider. Toyota-Mazda adding 4K Jobs in Limestone County. Portfolio hasnt done anything but tread water for 8+ years. Now...WOW is it up. I do not like Big Cheeto, but the obvious has to be said, he is enjoying a robust economic expansion. How much Cheeto had to do with it is very questionable, but he is going to get the credit in the mid-terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that...and of course even folks who make comments on this site like that are probably informed enough to realize that one day or week does not make the market. Back in my working days when our company started the 401k plan I saw people (inexperienced investors) whose first inclinations were buy high and sell low.....get into the market when it's moving up and then with the first downturn they unload....and easy thing to do I guess. And it's still hard to convince some people that the market is not the economy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NolaAuTiger 3,295 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Of course with rising bond yields, people are selling. Individual income seeking investors, like many of us I presume, eventually can't keep up with an over performing market. This is all part of the process. No worries whatsoever. MAGA!!!
