    You pop up only when you think you have something negative to post about Trump and other Republicans. I’m starting to think of you as “Bad News Pete”.

    You (deliberately?) have no understanding of how the market works.

    If you and your ilk get your way and the Dems are in charge again, you will apparently be taken by surprise by how quickly this country will fall apart. How you cannot see the total unsustainability of Dem policies is crazy.

    Let's rewind back a few months and quite a lot of mistakes made by you where you stated you resented paying MY military retirement. So let's compare investments.

    I invest 21 years of my blood, sweat and tears for a retirement check, like most people. I get that retirement check on the 1st of every month provided I am still breathing. Doesn't matter who's President, if the economy is f*cked like it was under Obama or clicking like it is under Trump. The stock market could go "BOOM!" and *I* still get paid. The US Government and the nation itself has to fail before I don't. Did I mention my medical is unlimited and about 1/10 the cost of yours FOR LIFE? I go to sick call on base and there's not even a co-pay.

    You on the other hand have to get up and check your panties every morning, gambling on your future. One day you're rich, the next you're f*cked.

    So who made the wiser decision? Joke's on YOU, buddy. Have a nice day

    You mean your military welfare? Don't get me wrong, you deserve it, but it's welfare that I am paying. You are welcome

    The stock market on the day Trump signed the tax bill: 24,754. The stock market today, nearly a year later: 24,480.That's a decrease of 1.1% since the tax bill was signed. And in the meantime, the US debt is exploding at an even more unsustainable rate. But ya'll stopped caring about the national debt a long time ago.

    Not welfare, Pete. I entered into an agreement with a corporation that has a retirement plan in return for my services. Same as anyone else. If you don't like the opportunities provided by the US Government, write 'em and tell 'em.

    Was a toss up between that and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, a leftwingnut, corrupt labor union that also offers a retirement plan for life. And I had the "in" with the "good ol' boys" so it wouldn't have been that tough a road. Either way I earned what I have.

    Welfare is unearned. Just another Friday morning fail for you, Pete. You must be used to them by now?

    Over what time period are you showing a recovery?
    Over 1 day, 5 days, 1 month, and 1 year the numbers are low and mostly in the negative.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    All those record stock market highs under President Trump should all just be ignored I guess...

    https://www.thebalance.com/dow-jones...e-1929-3306174

    Still, even setting those records, maybe President Trump should artificially inflate the stock market by pumping $85,000,000,000.00 a month into it like the little lop eared kenyan dog turd obama did. Then people could forget about that too... oh wait... they'd hold that against Trump because he's not a mongrel democrat.

    Actually that isn't so for the year, https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EDJI?p=^DJI

    While the President is far from my cup of tea, he can not actually be credited or blamed for the economy-though they always are.

    I would consider 14451 from 14329 to be low as I mentioned in my post - and certainly not a clear defined ‘recovery’ as has been talked about in this thread.

    Gunny and others on the board have made decisions you and I can't even contemplate. So take your "you're welcome" and shove it up your ass.
