5. EarlG, the headline you linked is incorrect. Not your problem, but misleading.

If you follow the links to the article:

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/04/26/bidens-100-day-stock-market-performance-is-the-hottest-going-back-to-the-1950s.html

you see that the 24% is SINCE ELECTION DAY, not since Inauguration. The market jumped up a lot (maybe half of the 24%) between election day and Inauguration Day.

"The S&P 500 has risen 24.1% since Election Day with numbers that easily trounce any of his predecessors."

I found this only because when I checked my S&P account, I saw it had not gone up anywhere near 24% even since January 1, 3 weeks before inauguration day.

However, the graph in the article does compare apples to apples, e.g., Trump's election to his 100th day in office vs. Biden's election to his 100th day in office, so that's fair.

....back in 1988-1998, in the form of a 401k.

Last year by late summer it dropped about 18% thanks to trump's bungling of the "recovery". It's now up 51% from that time, mostly since Biden was elected.

To criticize this president - examples include the made up "meat ban," Mister Potato Head and Dr. Seuss!
