4.1% for 2nd quarter
- Thread starter TarHeelEer
- Start date
There’s nothing to explain. The only way to make that kind of a return with both the DOW and the S&P dipping only to almost recover back to where they were in January is to be a professional trader and do a lot of buying and selling of individual stocks.
Sorry for the delay. There are several versions of this article out there.
The retaliatory tariffs the White House said wouldn’t happen are happening

Wow!
And from June 2017 to June 2018, the national debt grew by 6.8%
Nothing like borrow and spend to stimulate the economy. Republicans becoming Keynesian.
Over the last 12 months the S&P 500 is up about 12%, but you are up 47%?
You are clearly a stable genius!
Let's hope it all works out for the best according to the make it up as you go plan.
No. Dave said he was up 47% this year, ergo January of 2018 is the starting point.
Dave is a known insider trader. He is fully invested in high risk, high return. He had hot tips and unloaded. Nothing grows in your hand but your dick. Hot tips are no good if you don't have the balls to play. Congrats Dave on a very good year.
I do wish I had gone with you, but at my age, I could never recover from a potential loss. You have what it takes to bring the big ones home.

I dont know. I looked at it the other day and that is where it was year to date. I didnt believe it so I looked deeper at it and it was true.
The DOW ans S&P are 2 of how many index funds. There are one or two other avenues to invest.
Hahahaha.
You don’t even understand what the DOW and S&P are. Otherwise, you wouldn’t make such an asanine comment.
You’re awesome.
[laughing][laughing][laughing]
I understand that you are not very smart but you cant invest in the DJIA. You can invest the Dow and S&P index funds if you want your investments to track the DOW and or the S&P Index. Do you understand what an index fund is?
There are several thousand other investment options. There is even Jelly fund that if you put some cash into it you can be like me.
Quite the contrary. Regulations were eliminated or reduced. That's less government! Taxes were cut. That's less power of the government over individual earnings. Investment capital taxes and corporate taxes were cut. That's less government interference in the formation of capital and long range investments which always fuel expansions.
This economy is booming because government is being removed as the giant obstacle it always is on a free economy. Yes spending is still too high, but not because less revenues are coming into the treasury! This economic expansion is simply funding a new round of government spending, which we still have yet to control.
Hopefully Trump and his budget wizards will get this thing under control through much needed reforms and elimination of wasteful spending, but make no mistake, this economy is growing not because of big Government "borrowing and spending" as you characterize, but in spite of it and with less of it through private enterprise and personal income growth as a better alternative.
Keep spinning.

Yes it is, and only the start of the dynamic also underway as a result of less demand on corporate earnings in the form of taxes, and repatriation of investment capital from overseas. As those fundamentals percolate through the economy and result in fresh expansions of private enterprise with even more hiring and commerce, this number will look surprisingly small by the 4th quarter.
