How has your 401K, IRA, investments been doing under Obama?

[kalm]

Unfortunately, the 50 million who don't HAVE 401k's anymore because of 20% unemployed would like to have a word with you.

More income inequality - the rich get richer, and the poor get left behind. Where's kalm when you need him? Maybe we can start getting 401k's banned or at least tax the earnings right now. Can't let income get anymore inequal. The horror.

You're trying too hard there sporto.

[GannonFan]

More income inequality - the rich get richer, and the poor get left behind.

So you are saying that is bad??? Most are CONKS aren't they?

I'm not saying income inequality is bad, I was pointing out that others on these boards do say that income inequality is bad. Don't know if most of those that benefit are conks, there are plenty of rich donks out there too that are benefitting from a stock market surge.

That is, unless you think donks are idiots, as you said the only people who haven't taken advantage of the surge in stocks are. Do you think donks are idiots then?

[AZGrizFan]

Never mind. If I have to spell it out for you, it's an exercise in futility.

Nah.....more like you are talking out your *ss.

Obamacare
Dodd-Frank
Benghazi debacle
IRS scandal
Arab Spring
Guantanamo still open
Afghanistan deaths continue
Russia now the world leader
Isreal despises us
Iran going to get the bomb
Egypt in civil war
Syria in civil war
Iraq in collapse
"Red Line"
Edward Snowden
Unemployment and feeble job growth
Expanding government
Zero budgets in 5 years
1st government shutdown in 17 years (ok, maybe this is a good thing)
...and the list could go on and on and on....
But hey, he did kill Bin Laden (personally, I'm sure) and he got a Nobel Peace Prize. So there is THAT.

Great, when you calculate exactly what is too much then let us know so those with more can stop making any more money. Double check your work before you come out with the magic number please.

Nope......but I would say that more rich people are CONKS and more middle class (does that even exist anymore?) are DONKS. I do agree with you that anyone with a retirement account/stock investments that hasn't done well over the past 5 years is an idiot.

But how do you come to that conclusion? Just based on a guess? Didn't Obama win big in '08 due to his support from the part of the electorate that was college-educated (and therefore more likely to have money)? Even you espouse on this message board about how so much support for the GOP (conks) comes from the rural, and poor, South, while the Democrats (donks) enjoy the support of the upwardly mobile and affluent East and West Coasters. So what gives, the dumb folk in the South are also filthy rich in addition to being simply filthy? And the latte drinking, Starbucks-obsessed progressives of the urban centers in the North are actually panhandling for their coffee money? What gives?

Every objective person on the planet knows Putin just handed Obama his balls in a jar over Syria. We have been usurped. The fall is complete. Thanks, Obama.

[Baldy]

Let's face it.......as many conservatives preach, it really IS up to the individual to make wise choices in their lives and that includes investments. So tell me CONKS........how are your investments doing since Obama's election back in 2008??? If you tell me that they are doing bad........then you are obviously an idiot when it comes to investing.

Poor jeff needs a lesson in basic economic principles, STAT.

Wall Street feeds on cheap and easy money. 0% interest rates and quantitative easing will take the stock market to places it has never been before, but it is certainly no way to build an economy. It will try as long as it can, but the government can't keep interest rates near zero and print money into oblivion. One day it will have to end, and when it does, the stock market is going to explode in a way that will make what happened in 2007-2008 look like a church bake sale.

Last week, all the so-called 'experts' were saying that the government was going to start tapering on QE. I knew there was no way possible they could because of the implications on the stock market. When it was announced they weren't tapering, the DJIA took off causing all the "stock market is doing great" morons (like you) to snap another one off to Bernanke and Obama. BUT the value of the dollar on the currency markets took a colossal dump. The DJIA has returned to value somewhat, but against most of the major currencies, the dollar is still taking it in the nuts.

You heard it here first, jeff....all this shit is on Obama, Bernanke, and the Fed. When your +300% turns into -90% or worse, remember what I just told you.

Smart, and keep shorting the dollar every chance you get.
