I second the notion that it'll be rough until the election.

If D.J.T. is re-elected, we'll have to hear about COVID for as long as CNN thinks it has legs, but everybody knows we're pretty close to a vaccine.

If Biden is elected, our tax and trade policies will go to crap, but I don't think there will be a crash, just six years of stagnation like we had under Obama (after he "led us out of the recession"), with the media telling us how great it is the entire time. The worst thing is, we will spend lots of money defending institutions and policies that promote crashes like we did with the '08-'10 bailouts.

I've got a pretty big chunk in a 401K. All mutual funds. I've also got about $1,800 in a RobinHood account I started about 6 months ago. I had always wanted to play the market (like, since I was 13), so I finally started dabbling. I've traded around and have some margin trades floating around out there, but nothing TOO risky, it's been up as high as $2,150 a week ago. Down to about $1,850 today. LOTS of upside (like double-triple my portfolio), if we ever get dug out of this. Gonna be a wild ride.

I entered in to it with the understanding (even with my 401K's) that stock and commodity markets are functionally somewhere between a Ponzi Scheme and Blackjack with better research. But Social Security isn't a sure thing either..............

No kidding, bro. My liberal brother is one. What an ass clown.

But, now he's actually talking a little Trump to my little brother. Probably because he's worried and doesn't want to have his ass handed to him in the form of huge taxes by Shoot Em in the Leg Joe. Might stress the budget at his Redneck Beach crib and all.

I placed an order for FZROX today with a little extra cash. 401(k) has been left alone.

I believe the market is expressing fear that Trump will lose. Ms. Harris scares the market. Anyone that is sure of Trump winning might ought to jump in. I'm down 2.65% today.The only winners I have are Generac and TEVA Pharmaceuticals. Gold, silver, and platinum are all down. GDX was down over 6%.

What is FZROX?

The market frets that the election may not come to a conclusion by Nov. 4. The winner is secondary and the only thing scarier than Kamala is a vacuum.

On top of that, no stimulus till after the election (and even then, maybe not). Airlines and all related industries in the toilet. Couple million gallons a day of jet fuel not being used is killing the energy sector. No wars to keep Aerospace outfits cranking out munitions and parts for.

Plenty for the DOW to be down over besides Slow Joe and the Cameltoe.

I think it's more a reflection of an increased chance of a contested election.

Didn't move your money did you?

Corn, and beans as well, not cattle, Whew!

So, you think you're out of the market?

I jumped out the window! Luckily I was in the basement.

There was a point in time back in history, when people in Venezuela and Cuba were in their 40's and thought they had 20 more years too...

Not every "tank" creates a dead cat bounce.

That's what makes men try to fly without wings.

Both the stock market and the price of gold is being manipulated.

Good point, especially as it relates to the elections.

I hope whitey is fully awake and cognizant on what’s at stake on this election season.

Down over 5% this week, today wasn’t a bad time to buy a little....

Buying opportunity. I added a big chunk to my S&P Vanguard account back in March.

Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Comcast and Twitter report earnings tommorow. Should be interesting.
