Then why even compare it to the stock market?
If you think people should be investing in guns, ammo, and canned food rather than bet on the continuing prosperity of the US economy, then it doesn't sound like you have a very positive outlook on the direction of the USA. Just say that people should buy guns instead of stocks because they'll need to kill their neighbor for food after Trump annihilates the economy if that is what you really think.
i didn't, the other guy did by bringing up that "physical investments", aka fucking buying a thing in real life, were identical to stock investments, as if your items magically vanish when the value goes down the way your money vanished when stock values drop. i just pointed out that it was a bad comparison. you guys are really bad at this, please consider moving to canada and applying for MAID.
 
Convinced someone on Trump's team does things like the Heard & McDonald Islands tariff on purpose specifically as a lightningrod for media and retards to obsess over
Trump could accidentally drop a nuke on Miami and you retards would claim its actually 150iq 5d chess

You are genuinely retarded. Buying Gold as an investment is Identical to buying stocks as an investment, just with generally lower liquidity and lower volatility. Your ownership position in the company doesn't magically vanish either when the value goes down.
When the price of Gold drops, your value in USD drops. Your total amount of Gold owned doesn't drop though.
When the price of NVDA drops, your value in USD drops. Your total amount of shares owned doesn't drop though.
 
I'm already flat fucking broke so none of this effects me lol.
I just hope it's worth it long term. One thing I've been thinking about, is the fact that the US couldn't even do forever wars for Israel anymore. We legit produce jack fucking shit! How are we supposed to bomb brown kids if we don't even have the fucking munitions!
God, am I simping for the MIC right now? lmfao
Just "Make America Make/Manufacture Again" I don't fuckin' know what slogan to use, but it's an idea lol
 
When r/wallstreetbets and /biz/ were pulling a funny they actually froze GME but only for retail traders
I hate this shit and I wish you retards would stop pushing it. The only platform that froze buying GME was Robinhood, a platform by drooling retards for drooling retards, because when a million redditors rushed the app with $1,200 in hand the instant deposit system literally started running out of money.

You could still buy GME on Fidelity or any other normal trading platform, the only reason this rumor persists is because your first day of trading consisted of downloading Robinhood and asking "wen moon?"
 
The US has something close to a third of worldwide household consumption, that is such a strong deterrent to any country not wanting to be slaughtered economically that things will be basically back to normal by July, probably quicker .

there’s talk of EU and Chyna looking to meet tomorrow about trying to increase trade with each other but that’s like two of the most corrupt workers in the warehouse trying to work together and promise they won’t stab each other in the back. If it does last it only justifies how much Europe must suffer for being such backstabbing faggots.

Call it MAMA~.
 
TLDR itt posters too poor to have investments
If you’re day trading, you’re just another idiot gambling. If you’re not, then it doesn’t matter unless you’re retiring tomorrow.

Boomers can afford to have the line go down for once.

I hate boomers too but the US economy is the best on the planet

I’m going to repost this lovely image from earlier:

The average person’s purchasing power is what most people care about, and it has not improved meaningfully since the 80s. Except a spike in 2016 to 2020…

I was too young to really understand what the state of the economy was like under Obama, but I was a teenager under Trump and I remember things being pretty damn solid. Gas was cheap, you could get a Taco Bell Box for $5, etc.
I don't really understand anything about the economy, but Trump steered things well last time so I trust his plan. So far, I've already seen a slight improvement in grocery and gas bills.
