The S&P is down over 1% for the year so far.Combine that with the purchasing power loss due to inflation and you were better off keeping your money in a CD or money market.
Maybe, but which will give you the most gains long term, stocks or CDs? When it comes to investing, it's easy to look back and "know" what would have worked better. However, looking ahead and knowing what will work best it's impossible. That's why people should invest in the stock market long term, preferably buying and holding low cost index funds.
At my age, 'longterm' is an oxymoron.

100% agree. The feds will raise rates in an attempt to stifle Trumps economy to help demoncrats win the 2020 presidential election.Call me a tin hatters, don't care, you all know it's true.

At least Trumps first year in office delivered. Thanks Obama.
Explain this one again. The one's who keep saying this has a hard time backing this. As a matter of fact, they either avoid the question or spin it.
When it comes to investing, long term can be 7 years or longer. I suppose you know you'll be pushing up daisies sooner than that.
He is steering you into a recession LOL. The fucking market just took a huge fucking dump. Let's see how 2019 goes.

It's common sense. A new president doesn't deserve credit or blame for what goes on in their 3-6 months in office. Sometimes even longer. I'll give him credit for not fucking up 2017. But his actions in 2017 are what have us heading toward the edge of the cliff.
Do you realize you didn't give me ONE reason why this is Obama's economy? I'll wait for yours then I'll give you mine.
I don't believe this is Obama's economy now. 2017 was. Now with the tax cut give away and sky rocketing deficits we are seeing the effect on the market and a recession will be soon to follow. Pretty awesome move to pull all the troops out of Syria too, don't you think? Who cares what the military thinks. He trusts his gut more than the generals. Spin that one for us.
