The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LurkerMom: Their well funded 401k under the Trump years only to be devastated under a mere two years of Dark Brandon...

When president Biden took office, the DOW closed at 30,930. The DOW closed yesterday at 33,674. That's about an 8% gain.

Or we could use former president Trump's favorite measure of stock market performance and measure Biden's post-election stock market gains: 21%.

Devastating?

Okay.

In addition, the stock market made 123 all-time highs during the Obama years, 126 during the Trump years and 263 during the Clinton presidency.

The annualized return of the DOW was 12.1% and 15.9% for Obama and Clinton, respectively.

For Trump? 11.8%.

If stock market performance is your measure for a successful presidency, you want a democrat in the Oval Office.



LurkerMom: Small town retires do not have a son jetting all over the world making deals to give the 'Big Guy' a ten percent cut.

The lies never end. The gullible never stop swallowing the lies.
