    Stock market achieving ALL TIME HIGHS, 9 consecutive weeks of increases -- investors are BULLISH on the American economy.

    Trump has created the policies (domestic, foreign, fiscal, monetary) to create economic opportunity for all in this economy. Question: Are you wealthmaxxing?



    GOOD DAY

    I do not play the market like some on here, but my pension is of course based on market returns.
    I have always purchased as much gold as I could afford anytime a mini windfall has come my way.
    You never lose on gold. I'm too scared to go full stock guy.
    I did buy my father-in-law 1 share of the Green Bay Packers stock for Christmas ten years ago though.

    My heart is full if:
    My dog and wife love me
    My cocktail glass is full of Tito's
    My bong is filled with some good buddha
    and my house is paid off

    THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT MAKE ME RICH.
    all the rest is window dressing.

    Easy for you to say, when you’ve got a backroom full of gold :D

    That’s a good way to live life… not like any of it really sticks around anyway.

    I am grateful for our strong economy and our nation's commitment to free market principles in building our economy.

    I don't even think about or notice day-to-day expenditures less than ~$500 or so. I rarely even look at the bill when I'm at a grocery store, Costco, or restaurants (other than for tipping purposes). What I love about stores like Walmart, Fiesta, Home Depot, etc is that they cannot change their prices in real time. They don't know if it's a rich person or a poor walking through those doors and as such they must apply a one-price-fits all strategy. I love it!


    GOOD DAY

    The top 10% of Americans own 90% of the equity in the stock market. The median American doesn't give a **** about the stock market when electricity prices are skyrocketing, food and energy prices are seeing substantial increase. Trump currently has the lowest economic approval ratings from any modern president in history which is crazy to think about

    for the education oftraitor george,

    Costco stock is being punished by wall street, down 42 points today, ~~4%
    this giant retailer has been a barometer, as to the economic well-being, for middle class value-seeking consumers !​
