This Is How You Lose the Tariff War

Wrong.

China has not invaded Taiwan because they are afraid (and rightfully so) of military retaliation against them by other powerful nations. The United States, UK, other EU members, Japan, Australia, and more would revenge fuck China in the ass if they invaded Taiwan. That hasn’t changed.

Try again, fear mongering loser.

In ClydeR's defense, he's scared shitless of literally everything.

What is happening right now is exactly why I have always viewed 401ks as problematic for the employees. This just proves my point.

My state has a retirement plan. The money that I put into it has lost 20% of its value since last week. It's a good thing I'm not relying on it right now. Imagine all the people who had planned on retiring this week? All the people who are drawing on it currently?

The working class are getting savaged by the elites on a massive scale right now.

You sound like someone who sells the dip and buys the tip.

I plan to retire early, but still have another 15 years or so until that is possible. For those people, which is most, dips in the market and even full blown recessions are to be expected, normal, and you can ride the recovery wave to even greater gains over time. It’s a long term investment strategy and money is made through the power of compounding interest over time.

For those that are in retirement now or plan to retire soon, if they are a savy investor & risk adverse (as you should be as you get older and build wealth) they should have migrated a big chunk of their portfolio to treasury bonds and other safe bets. You trade lower returns for lower risk. Guess what? When the stock market goes down…treasury bonds, commodities like gold, and other safe assets don’t lose their value.

You realize that after you retire, your 401K can still grow and will recover along with the rest of the market, right? The only real people who are really in trouble are the financially illiterate and scared people who sell at the low and stay out of the market because some talking head told them too.

If anyone is planning on retiring in the next few years and is still massively invested in the stock market they need to seek financial guidance immediately. The closer you get to retirement the less you should have in stocks.

Even insufferable Eagles & delusional Cowboys fans can both figure out the most elementary concepts of longterm investment strategy. There is hope for the working man.

So these elites... you think they aren't in the stock market? Where do you think they keep their money?

You sound like someone who sells the dip and buys the tip.

He also sounds like someone that would enjoy a group of men putting their tip in his dip.
