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.

Why does the Stock Market and the Economy do so well under Democrats and so poorly under Republicans? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
The S&P 500 has averaged an annual gain of 11.2% under Democratic presidents since 1945, compared to just 6.9% under Republicans.

A $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 in 1948 would have grown to approximately $1.2 million by 2023 if invested only during Democratic presidencies,
compared to around $312,000 if invested only during Republican administrations.

Total job growth has averaged 2.5% annually during Democratic administrations, while it is barely over 1% annually during Republican administrations.
Applied to today’s total workforce, this would imply nearly 2.4 million more jobs created every year under Democratic administrations.

Families in the bottom 20% of the income distribution experience 188% faster income growth during Democratic administrations.

More fun facts:
Current % Below 52-Week High
Tesla: -20%
Bitcoin: -32%
Fartcoin: -90% (Fart coin has outperformed Trump coin!)
Trump Coin: -91%
Melania Coin: -99%

So far Trump has given us:
The most October layoffs since 2003
The most Q4 layoffs since 2008
The most YTD layoffs since 2020
The least YTD hiring since 2011
The least holiday seasonal hiring since 2012
And the National Debt Is Up $1 Trillion in just two months! Prosperity!

Lastly the "Buffett Indicator" (Mr.Buffetts favorite Market valuation tool) is currently at the most overvalued level in history! Looking good!
