A Simple Comparison [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-04-21  

For the three month period between Biden’s inauguration and April 21, 2021, the S&P 500 index was up a little over 4%, which averages to about 12% a year. Not a bad return.

In the three month period of this year since Trump’s inauguration, the S&P 500 index was down nearly 14%, which averages to about -56% for the year. Very scary.

I think it’s an easy economical choice of where you’d like to be. Calm, good growth vs. complete chaos.

That 14% is coming out of your 401(k), your IRA, and pretty much any stock investments you might own. Had enough?
