Tbh Wall Street can fuckin off. They helped create this mess. If this ship is going down, let's make sure none of the assholes find a seat on a life boat.

All of everyone’s retirement accounts are invested in the market. So it’s not just those assholes who get fucked by this.

In fact, those assholes will be fine. WE won’t.

Maybe it will force Americans to do something against that? If no one has any retirement, there's bound to be a lot of public outcry. There's nothing to lose if you have nothing.

Lucky me, I don't have any retirement investments!

You think they aren't already profiting off of the downturn?

What's interesting to me is that the "shape" of the line still matches the global line pretty well so there are some "fundamental" aspects that still affect markets, but overall we're in a nosedive for "some reason."

This is what happens when your president is a used car salesman.

Any Americans tired of winning yet?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

I can’t handle being any greater.

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago

I am so tired of winning, I’d love alternatives.

Denmark, if you’re listening… I have an idea.

Here in the US, I transfered most of my 403(b) investments into European, Asian, and "emerging market" funds, so I'm happy to be doing my part.

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 day ago

Fuck, that’s a good idea.

Thank you.

I did the same with my IRA. I was in VOO but moved to VGK and some short term bonds. So far I've saved myself a good amount of money.

I like the little hopeful bump before the inauguration.
