Every time the DOW drops a point, I think "Take that, Donald Trump!!!!"

Sure, we have money in IRAs and a 401k, but we've been through this before. We just don't look at our holdings for several years, until it gets back to where it was, as it inevitably well. Hopefully, during the term of a Democratic president and congress.

1. I'm with you. I don't worry about the stock market in the short term at all.

I've made a decent amount of money over the years by just holding on to good solid stocks. Slow growth over time; don't worry about the panic and other nonsense that the media tries to push on us.

2. Screw those who are alredy at retirement, right?

3. I've been retired for several years. My income doesn't come from selling stocks regularly.

For years we sold the amount that went over a benchmark and bought bonds or CDs. Now 2/3s is in fixed income.

7. It's not about that

Most people don't, retired or not. But our 401ks are taking hits, which doesn't help. Especially when retirement is getting closer and the time to gain the losses back is getting shorter and shorter.

9. The stock market ALWAYS goes down for one reason or another. I really glad it's on Trump's watch.

4. Please don't

Feel satisfaction against tRump on the backs of those drawing down our IRA's a and investments. The market may recoup eventually but some of us can't wait. Focus your ire elsewhere please. Plenty of places to go.

6. This does not seem like a healthy attitude

The Dow is responding to a major potential threat to the entire world. This is a lot bigger than politics and that orange idiot.

Instead you should be thinking about how to respond if a Covid-19 pandemic does come to pass.

8. I can handle more than one train of thought at once. nt
