Wait, you think the DOW Jones is reflective of the U.S. economy?

When I first read the thread title, my first thought was that DOW might have been a new brand of bread.

And you think the 78% of the people who are now living paycheck to paycheck under Biden really give a **** about how high the market goes?  What they'll see is that gas prices have risen almost 20 cents a gallon in the past month alone, inflation is up another 3.5%, food prices are up another 2.2%, the median home rental cost rose between 1.6% and 2.1% in the last month, and health insurance costs have shot up 3.03% in the last month, all while credit card debt and credit card delinquencies increased to record highs, despite people having to pay record high interest rates on those cards.

So keep playing with your cash register while stupidly believing Biden's **** economy is getting better!

There were plenty of people living paycheck to paycheck under Trump. The conservative response back then was to get another job and pull yourself up by your boot straps. Did something change?

Something did change, people got dumber! 
Note this was from 2019 and probably gotten worse since then due to inflation.

2019 Modern Wealth SurveyFOMO fuels American spendingMore than a third of Americans admit their spending habits have been influenced by images and experiences shared by their friends on social media and confess they spend more than they can afford to avoid missing out on the fun, according to Schwab’s 2019 Modern Wealth Index Survey, an annual examination of how 1,000 Americans think about saving, spending, investing and wealth. Survey respondents place blame on social media platforms and not people—they rank social media as the biggest “bad” influence when it comes to how they manage their money, while they put friends and family at the top of “good” influences. According to the survey, three in five Americans pay more attention to how their friends spend compared to how they save, with an equal number saying they’re at a loss to understand how their friends are able to afford the expensive vacations and trendy restaurant meals they portray on social media.

While poor people will more than likely always be poor, everyone else needs to take a hard look in the mirror.

You only make money buying low selling high what are you unloading?

You are correct King, it's just a number on a piece of paper and the number is growing under Biden's crappy economy. With a little luck, those retirement funds won't be touched for another decade.

I loath political code speak those believing they are part of a royal we mentality saying that ****. Life is an eternal adapt or become extinct moment every rotation of the planet, so every human is living pay check to paycheck by just adapting as displaced ancestrally occupying time this rotation.

Truth is so miss guiding ancestries every generation gap from actual time evolving this rotation. It is done on purpose, design, organized social consensus directed by orchestrate chaos against those not buying into any reality supporting humanity's dream state of mind tomorrow will be better than yesterday if everyone alive today believes life is too difficult to navigate space with their own brain adapting to the social whether obey or else environment here.

Good luck finding where I said that. I was merely celebrating the new market highs.

A while back I said if it hits 5400, go all in on puts. There’s a reason I bought 1 put on IWM at 205, as I suspected it wasn’t over quite yet. It will be in the money closer to the end of this year.

My “bounce is over” should extend to now. IWM should not break past 210, the most recent high.

In 2020 under Trump, the percentage of people reporting that they lived paycheck to paycheck was 61%.
Today under Biden, after less than 4 years, that percentage shot up to 78%, thanks to your hero.
And making it worse, under Trump the average credit card interest rate was 14.73%.
This month under Biden, that average credit card interest rate has skyrocketed to 2.16%, an all-time high.
In Jan. 2021, the last month Trump was in office, the total amount of US credit card debt was $770 billion.
Today, thanks to your idiot, that total is now $1.113 TRILLION, another new record.
And the result?  Credit card payment delinquency rate has also set record highs in each category, those that are 30, 60, and 90 days late.

THAT is what changed, fool!
And yet you're SO proud of the rise in the stock market under your buffoon despite the fact that the bottom 50% of U.S. adults hold only 1% of all stocks.

Come on man, you know that "inside" you are doing the happy dance over the markets.

You have a link to that 78% currently living paycheck to paycheck? I must have missed it.

I always appreciate your posts, informative with numbers to back up statements. You probably haven't noticed but I have posted quite a few articles on the financial status of average Americans. It's a sad state and inflation hasn't helped a bit.

One good thing that has transpired over the last few years is Republicans actually giving a **** over the little people. That was not the case a short few years ago.

Concerning support for Biden. Unfortunately CP **** canned 6000 posts from my digest and you would see that I've carried water for conservatives for many years. I've stepped back and taken a more neutral position. The **** show currently going on in the House is just an example of why. I won't vote for Biden or Trump.

Your post was mostly benign...but thats all it takes.
