Trump = Winning

[Humble Narcissist]

The chart shows $185,000 - $537,560 for Americans ages 55-64 and $200,000 - $609,230 for Americans ages 65-74.  That's in no way, shape, or form "very little" as you claimed.

$130,000 for Americans in their 30s isn't "very little" either.  It takes time in the market for compound interest to produce wealth.

Your original post said nothing about retirement, but the article you posted as your source does.  How much is enough for retirement depends on so many variables:  Do they also have a pension, an annuity, rental income, social security, what's their lifestyle like, what are their annual expenses, do they live in a low-cost of living area, etc., but that's not the point here.

The point is you claim "most" of those stock holders own "very little", but I'm not seeing that from your source.

You have an over optimistic view of American finances. Most are a couple  of paychecks away from disaster. Don't forget average debt:

Ah, maybe so, maybe so.

The fact that trump claimed he thought he market would correct a possible 25% based on the war in iran and it surprised him directly contradicts your posts though. He has almost no bearing on the market, maybe short term... very short term but even that is becoming uncoupled from his actions as no one trusts him to follow through on anything. The market is very irrational right now and his actions are likely leading to a huge energy crisis if one hasn't already begun. There is an inflection point coming based on reserves that could have some major consequences.
I don't follow politics but I can repeat everything the tv every told me bad about Trump.

Fixed for you little fella.

So you guys have gone from

Not even half the country benefits from the stock market to

Most of those stock holders own very little to

They don't own a lot for retirement

And now it's about the average American debt by age.  What does that have to do with the stock market?

Fixed for you little fella.

Trump is retarded. This is a fact.

Therefore, ipso facto, anything he says can be assumed to be retarded.

Either you're a parrot or I'm a ventriloquist.   

You think trump has any bearing on the stock market?

Long term, not likely.  Short term, absolutely.

You're just repeating to me what I've already told you before.  How is that a contradiction?

The market is very irrational right now

Yeah, so?  This is historically business as usual. In the stock market, irrationality isn't an anomaly.  It is a recurring, fundamental feature of the system.

If you think the current irrationality is a new phenomenon, you are ignoring history.

"The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."  Famed economist John Maynard Keynes

Iran will need to be done successfully and gas prices back down.

The thing is, the Democrats still have no plan, no message, no leadership, and nobody admirable - all dreck.
