Crashing the economy so the billionaires can buy everything cheap. Crashing the dollar also makes it cheaper for oligarchs in other countries to buy the trump golden visa. This also makes Krasnov’s debts cheaper.

I wouldn't say my investments is a portfolio... But yeah same. I've lost like $250 so far!!! But also at the same time, keep crashing, cuz then when I get paid I can buy more shares for less and then when it all comes back it will be worth stupid amounts!

I do long term investments into managed funds, that do all the hard trading and investment work for me. My understanding of the markets and investments is limited. Feel free to educate me dad

I like you attitude mate. I struggle with reacting with immediate panic to most bad news, but i inevitably rebound into my optimistic Outlook. Comments like yours speed that up. So thank you.

I lost 3 grand yesterday and another 3 today. As long as Elon’s getting richer I didn’t need the money anyway.

I am just happy I lost my savings the last time. Think I’d cry even harder this time…

u/k3ntsmok3_RO Thief 2d ago

why can't you just short it.... it's that easy, lol, i made over 10k the past 2 days shorting your indexes, lol

u/7Hakuna_Matata7 Caucus Knock Off 2d ago

This is our 401k, like our stupid version of a pension. It’s more limited in how you can make changes but it might be possible. I put mine aggressively in stock funds in early 2020 and doubled my entire account that year. But if the stock market falls, I am exposed. Also, 3 grand was yesterday. The fall today was close to double that which means I probably lost 5 grand today. Feeling cucked

u/k3ntsmok3_RO Thief 2d ago

oh, i get it, you are in with the real deal, I trade on a CFDs platform for short-mid investments, so much more convenient nowdays

u/7Hakuna_Matata7 Caucus Knock Off 2d ago

Yeah I tried personally trading with just a small amount because most of us don’t have the money for this but I made enough from GameStop to take my wife on a 2 week trip to Spain and France. We slept at family and friends houses but we had plenty. I lost money on solar panels and bio research. That’s when I gave up. But yes our pensions 401k are managed by professionals. I just made adjustments.

u/k3ntsmok3_RO Thief 2d ago

Oh wow, i just looked up for 401k... that's kinda messed up... Normally here we got it by "Pillars":
1st Pillar is the normal pension you pay to the state you're working in(no playing around here on markets, it's just state owned)
2nd Pillar you can choose individual Private Pension where you invest between 1%+(based on your choice to pay from your income) this is also known nowdays as EU pension and is the one having similar path to your 401k....
But, yeah, that seems quite screwed... the orange fucker is really screwing you guys badly...

Everyone can buy it cheap?

u/bremsspuren Barry, 63 2d ago

Everyone can buy it cheap?

Do you have any money?

1

u/Redditauro Enemy of Windmills 1d ago

Everyone who has money, but if you buy it now it may keep falling the next month's, the trick is to know when is it going up and buy it just after that happens, but that information is only for trump's buddies

3

u/bremsspuren Barry, 63 2d ago

This also makes Krasnov’s debts cheaper.

As if he's going to pay them, lol.

America needs heroes! Just take your gun and kill a billionaire, probably you will die anyway, but you'll die a hero!

They're just shooting themselves in the foot to prove they have a spare

I feel like they were aiming for their foot but actually shot their dick off instead and somehow managed to clip the rest of the worlds foot

At least the next guy won't have trouble finding things to improve. God damn.

u/Especialistaman Unemployed waiter 2d ago

Just hope he doesn't try to stay in power/run for another term.

u/Redditauro Enemy of Windmills 1d ago

I have the theory that right now American politics it's like WWF, so they are creating the worst bad guy imaginable, and when trump decided that he can ignore the constitution and try to win the third time then Obama will have an unexpected appearance and he will be the saviour of the world and everyone will be happy or some bullshit like that.

As in finding new land after the third Trump round followed by two Vance rounds?

Just to be fair, if you didn't vote for Mango Mussolini you can have a pass on the idiot part.

Woah, woah, woah. Not so fast, Barry. These are people who didn't even make a sound when Bernie Sanders got stabbed in the back by the DNC. They are as responsible as the other cunts for the predicament they find themselves in today.

u/smashing_velocity Barry, 63 2d ago

Shit, you're right on that one. I rescind the previous offer of pardoning.

u/annoying97 ʇunↃ 2d ago

And don't forget mate they don't have to vote over there so all the idiots that didn't vote are also idiots.

Btw, we have a federal election coming up in may, may the 3rd. Can you let our embassy in London cook snags on the sidewalk as part of our democracy sausage tradition? Thanks.

u/smashing_velocity Barry, 63 2d ago

Re on the sausage: I don't see why not. I'll have an ask around and see what I can do, although sadly I hold very little political power 😞

u/annoying97 ʇunↃ 2d ago

Eh if not we will do what we always do and just cook them out the front door.

Most of them here didn't. We're flogging a dead horse on Reddit.

You know that almost all stocks are owned by the rich? Wall St. is how the rich make money. We are bringing back Main St.

2

u/Redditauro Enemy of Windmills 1d ago

The rich now can buy even more stock while everyone else sells, then they will have more stock when it goes up again. That's how they get to own everything buying when it's low

1

u/JoeyAaron School shooter 1d ago

According to an interview with the US Treasury Secretary, the top 10% of richest Americans own 88% of stocks, the next 40% of richest Americans own 12% of the stock market, and the bottom 50% of poorest Americans own essentially none of the stock market.

Also, normal people own stocks through their 401K plan. They aren't speculating on individual stocks or buying and selling.
