Time for a bust, so if youv got alot in a 401k and stock in anything that generally followz the Dow number, time to cash out.

It's artificially hi and the walez know that Trump iz going to be like Bush on steroidz. The minit wun uv them starts selling, the little guyz will follow and then its a rase for the life boats.

My fee for this advise iz 10%, az usual. Uze Paypal, its fast & eazy.

Don't actually cash out your 401k though. You don't want to pay that early withdrawal penalty. Just put it in one of the safe investments.

And since it's all a crap shoot anyway and you might as well be gambling at Vegas, don't get mad at J0 if he was wrong and you lose out on some big gains. Chances are you were going to have it in there too long and lose them all whenever the next crash happens anyway. And it will eventually happen sooner or later.

We were told that this would never happen under Trump.

We were also told he had no path to 270 either...

It was Main Street who has had the longest slump of growth since the Great Depression.

The markets are up 10% since Trump was elected. It will likely go up another 10% before there's a correction. So now is still a good time to buy if you'd like to make 5%-10% on your money with ETFs in just a few months.

Thanks for pointing out to people that the slang is not the literally accurate statement.

"cashing out" of a high DOW means, in trading jargon, transferring your shares from a Stock-based mutual fund to a more cash-similar fund such as Government bonds or treasuries - preferably a fund which CANNOT lose money (technically, lose dollar value, even though it may in fact devalue slightly). And confirm that it is also a tax-deferred fund, to further avoid penalties.

Hey... no problem.

It's been about 7 years since I had any of my money in the market, but I used to know the rules of the game. Did pretty well there myself, but I didn't see the crash coming in 2008. Luckily when our company was bought out in mid 2007 or so they froze all of our 401k accounts and took forever to transfer them over to the new provider. If that hadn't happened, I probably would have lost 30-50% of what I had in there and I wouldn't have been able to buy my house after I got laid off. Now the house has paid for itself, literally, in the rent I haven't had to pay in the last 5 1/2 years. :)

The market is not a place for me anymore. I walked away a winner.

Just felt the need to point out to people who might not know much about 401k and the market who are a bit panicky that what J0 meant was exactly as you said and not to actually turn it into cash.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Obviously.
We certainly wouldn't want anybody to see a gain of 5% of their worth in only a month, right?
Dow hit 21,169 at the beginning of March. About 5 weeks after this thread's OP.

Going by historical predictive triggers, a drop of 15% from of the all-time high signals the onset of bear.
So, from the current ATH of 21,169, if it gets down (closes) to 18,840 before going higher than 21,169 then it should rebound up about 7-13%, and then go down.
Check April or May 2001 (from high in 2000) and then end of Jan 2008 (from Oct 2007 high) to confirm.

A few minutes ago I heard a news story that the DOW closed at the lowest point since October 2016.

But it's only down to 20,600ish.

WTF??

What exactly does the DOW even mean anyways? When I was earning a good living and made a killing in the market the DOW was only around 14,000 back before Obama was in office. 20,000 is bad now...? lol Sounds like some people are making a ton of money while everyone else just keeps doing worse.

Queue Second to come in here and pull a link blaming Trump for that.

IIRC, it it dsomething like this:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a group of 30 leading companies, in diversified sectors (so not 10 of them like Apple, Dell, IBM, Cisco, Micro$haft, Acer and others all in one industry). When one company is removed from the DJIA, it is clearly announced. GM used to be one forever, but I think they were removed after their bailout.
Anyhow, the DOW was around 877 points around 1986, following the end of the disastrous Carter Economy. The DOW had never been above 2,000 at that point, IIRC. It had been theorized that DOW 4,000 was an impossibility. 4,000 was surpassed around 1994. In 2000, DOW got to almost 12,000 and came back down to 10,000 by August 2001. After 9/11 it dropped to about 7,300ish. By October 2007 it was up to about 14,000 as the Rock-The-Vote Democrat FY2008 Budget took effect. It dropped to about 5,400 around 9 March 2009. it could have rested in November 2008, but Obama kept campaigning about how he was going to destroy the economy, even after the election.

If you have difficulty comprehending the Stock market, try thinking of it as a popularity contest for companies. Except votes are actually dollars. Some companies are funded merely by the irrational belief of their investors. The investors who have placed the most dollars in the market have the most influence in the prices. The stocks (company shares) with the most demand go up in price, those with less popularity lose value.

I'm not. My stock portfolio is up about 18% since Trump was elected. Corporate earnings remain strong, but as we've seen before, things can turn ugly real fast. Best way to protect your investment and your profits is with stop-sell orders. If prices rise you can adjust the threshold upwards. If prices drop, your sell order kicks in and your loss is minimized.

You guys are so full of shit. Your investments my ass. You act as though Trump saved us all. He's riding on Obamas' success. When President Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 7,949.09. As of the end of Obama's term on January 20, 2017, the Dow was 19,732.40

Obama's success? I guess that's one way to look at it.

We already established a few months ago that under 8 years of Obama that corporate profits went up nearly 60% after inflation while the average American take home pay decreased about 40%.

I guess with Obama's success you didn't feel that drop in pay as much if you had a lot in a diversified portfolio.

A majority of us don't look at the DOW as a good benchmark to test a presidents success... at least not alone.

The fact the DOW is still going up and nothing else is really changing is a cause of concern to me.

Obama's "success" - for koolaid drinkers.

On Oct 12, 2007 - just before the Rock The Vote Democraps who took majority of the House had their disastrous first budget take full effect (FY2008) - Dow closed 14,093. Bush had been in office for 6 years.
On Nov 4, 2008 - Election Day - Dow closed at 9,625. A drop of 32% in 13 months that the Rock The Vote Democraps can take credit for.
On Nov 5, 2008 - Black Wednesday, when the results were learned (American voters chose the path of further economic disaster) - Dow closed at 9,139. A drop of 5% in one day which Bobo can take credit for.
By Jan 19, 2009 the impending doom had driven the Dow to 8,279 at close - a drop of another 9.5% since Nov 5 (76 days). Bobo can take credit for this.
On Jan 20, 2009 the Dow dropped another 4% in this single day. A drop of 17.5% since the day of the election. Bobo can take credit for this also.
On Mar 9, 2009 the Dow closed at 6,547. A drop of 21% in Bobo's first 48 days in office. Yep, Obama can take credit for this also. Total of 32% loss since Election Day, matching the loss of a whole year of Democraps in charge (with only Bush43 to reign them in). And a loss of 53% in only 1 year, 4 months since Democraps took control of the Fed Budget.

On November 2, 2010 - Election Day - the Dow closed at 11,188. It had crept up 1,563 points since Obama was elected. Or 16% in 2 years. This is the rate of growth that Bobo could take credit for. Still 2,905 less than before Democraps had taken control of the Federal Budget.
On 27 Jan, 2011 - when the new Congress had taken their seats, discharging the Democrap majorities - Dow closed at 11,989. A gain of 801 points in only 3 months since the election, and only a few weeks in office - despite Bobo still occupying the White House. Can't see Bobo taking credit for the GOP's gains - oops, that's right, Bobo did take credit where not due.

By Jan 20, 2017 - with 6 years of GOP control of Congress, the Dow had gained 76%, despite Bobo still occupying the White House.
By Jun 19, 2017 the Dow achieved 21,535. A gain of 1,803 point and over 9% in only the first 5 months of Trump taking office.

US citizens are in a contest with everyone against everyone. It’s the Grand Melee. It’s a giant dog fight where the big dogs take money from the little dogs. Don’t you wish there was a referee to rule on the fairness of this fight? It is not the President because the Federal government has not been given much power by the Constitution, the Congress, or the Supreme Court to be a referee in this contest, but that doesn’t mean the President and his regulators are completely useless to the economy. Well . . . Bush was helpless. Obama was useful. Check it out:

We know which President started two multi-trillion dollar wars, do we not? "We’ve spent $6 trillion" on the wars in the Middle East.
— Donald Trump on Wednesday, October 26th, 2016 in a rally in Charlotte, N.C.
www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/oct/27/donald-trump/d
id-us-spend-6-trillion-middle-east-wars/
Those are dollars that could have been spent on you, making your life easier.

(On January 26, 2016, the national debt held by the public was $13.62 trillion. Intragovernmental holdings stood at $5.34 trillion for the Medicare Trust Fund and the Social Security Trust Fund. Trump's estimate of $6 trillion for Bush's Wars is a large percent of the total debt.)

You can trace down which President did what to make things better or worse for the National Economy, but Presidents don't typically use their power to fix an individual’s life, to give them a big gift of cash. That is what your local friends are for. And when your friends fail to help you, find better friends.

Yeah, let's check it out. Here is a Libtard version of what I already laid out in the above post. Back before Obama, the U.S. was a global economic leader (amazing how many forget that now), and when the Rock The Vote Democraps put us into a tailspin, the related global economies also suffered. Economies not related to ours did not suffer so much.

And here we have more Libtard spin factory output, almost believable if you have it spoon-fed to you. It lists 6 "Causes" of the Libtard's Rock The Vote Recession. #1 was more Libtard spindoctor gibberish from Democrap Carl Levin, making excuses he hopes you will gobble up. #2 was the FCIC aka the Phil Angelides Report - yes, the same Libtard Democrap Treasurer of CA who wreaked destruction on the CA economy - many have heard of his results as "Gray-out Davis." #3 was the 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act - and yes, the Bubbadent in 1999 was Clinton. #4 is the faulty mortgage practices of Obama's ACORN progect, forcing the economic sector to suffer his racist policies. #5 is a vague generalization of the other listed Libtard excuses. #6 is further actions regarding "Fair Value Accounting" relating to mortgage valuation in an attempted correction to Obama's ACORN practices.

Good thing Jump Out JO left at 20K.

That is a gain of 3,305 since Election Day. Also, Election Day had DOW Volume under 80,000,000. The next day, when results were learned, volume doubled, and started hanging out in that range. On Dec 5 volume doubled again, and hasn't dropped below 100,000,000 since. On Jun 16, 2017 volume was 603,000,000.

Some people don't even remember this. Before Obamination, The U.S. Economy was a world leader. The Dow and other benchmarks of the Stock Market were controlled by the Free World, The Free Market, Free Enterprise.
Under Obamanomics, the Stock Market and economy have become the dog getting wagged by the tail. For years whenever Bobo declared he would destroy the economy the MSM proclaimed that the resulting economic hit (loss of Market value) was because somebody burped in Turkey, or somebody passed wind in Germany, somebody hiccupped in Greece, and such nonsense. It went on for so long that enough investors started to believe the fantasies of the MSM. This was the same MSM that kept telling investors to stay in the market in 2008, the whole year, so they could lose half of their money, their life's savings, their life's work.
Obamanomics has created a surreal view of how market forces work, and denies that actual market forces have any bearing.

"If you're an investor, there are a lot of people to thank for the second-longest bull market run in history. Perhaps after mentioning people like Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and S&P 500 CEOs for the support, it would be wise to bring up someone a little more unexpected: President Obama.

In fact, as far as presidents go, he's been one of the most successful in modern history in supporting the growth of the market according to Bespoke Investment Group.

"The reality, though, is that the stock market has done exceptionally well under President Obama," wrote Bespoke in a note out Thursday.

"The Dow Jones Industrial Average's performance [under Obama] of 120.6% ranks as the sixth best of any US President since 1900, just behind Reagan and comfortably ahead of Truman, who at 74.4% is far behind." "

That's from Business Insider who are not typically big fans of Obama.

Stock predictors are just better guessers than the rest of us, but just barely, and frequently they are wrong. Otherwise it would be easy money. And thank gawd the ones that predicted his taking office would have negative effect were wrong, but don't think for a second they won't turn the other way when the opportunity presents itself. 'Course we won't know because he'll own the press and it will all appear all rosy, like it is in Russia. Maybe we'll hit 30,000 in a couple months! Wheee....

Yup. we have Obama to thank for his great leadership.

He saved us from the failure and disaster that was Bush.

The Senate and House have 12 joint working days before Sept. 29, when the Treasury Department says it would no longer be able to pay all of the government’s bills unless Congress acts. A default would likely set off a major disruption to the world financial system, with a stock market crash.

The White House has lacked a unified message and run into resistance on Capitol Hill.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin met Tuesday morning with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), searching for ways to raise the debt ceiling, but the gathering ended without any progress — or even a clear sense of what the lawmakers need to deliver votes to raise the limit, according to three people briefed on the meeting who insisted on anonymity to speak candidly about the private discussions.

Several hours after the meeting, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders implored Congress to act, illustrating how serious the Trump administration now believes this issue to be. Every bit as serious as Trump's repeal of Obamacare. And that went so very well.

Without bothering to consult with any leadership of the House. How is meeting with Liberal McConnell and whacko Schumer supposed to accomplish anything? McConnell will never do what is in America's best interest, and his only interest is whatever gets him the biggest bribe or kickback, so including Schumer seems counterproductive.

Then you know why Trump should do a 180. But Trump doesn't know that the USA can't do what he did in business: take everything to court as the first step in paying his contractors less than Trump originally agreed to pay. Trump can't borrow for his business from American bankers because of his past trickiness and deceit. He has to go to foreign bankers.

Trump writes: “I figured it was the banks’ problem, not mine. What the hell did I care? I actually told one bank, ‘I told you you shouldn’t have loaned me that money’.”

This problem really has nothing to do with Trump.

My question is why do we even have a debt ceiling if all we're going to do every year is pretend like it means anything as if it's not going to be raised significantly.

Quantitative Easing. Obama's legacy.

If history ever gets over the fact that he was the first black president, it won't remember him very fondly.

It is not that the USA has borrowed too much. The problem is the USA spent too much on bad projects with no return on the investment. The Democrats/Republicans don't agree on what a bad project is.

Funny that you should mention Quantitative Easing. It worked differently than you think. It turned a profit, not a loss:

The Fed’s $3.5T QE purchases have generated almost half a trillion dollars for the US Treasury since 2009
www.aei.org/publication/since-2009-feds-qe-purchases-transferred-almos
t-half-trillion-dollars-treasury-isnt-gigantic-wealth-transfer/

Bottom Line: While the record transfer of almost $100 billion from the Fed to Treasury last year has gotten some media attention, what hasn’t been reported, except by the WSJ today is this: The monetary expansions known as QE1, QE2, and QE3 ended up being a gigantic transfer of wealth from the private sector to the public sector. By “acquiring” almost $3.5 trillion in assets with a “magic checkbook” that were previously held largely by private investors and the private sector, those trillions of dollars in Treasury and MBS securities, along with the billions of dollars in interest income those securities generate, got transferred to the Fed, which has then transferred almost half a trillion dollars in residual interest earnings to the US Treasury in the last six years.

Q: Is that fair/accurate to describe QE1, QE2 and QE3 — as monetary policies that ultimately transferred billions of dollars in private wealth to the US Treasury via the Fed? Or is it more accurate to describe it as printing money to finance the government’s budget deficit disguised to look like monetary policy, since the bond holders got paid for their securities? (Thanks to Jeff Dorfman for help with that second description.)

Update 1: Or here’s how Jon Murphy describes it in an email: “The Fed is just printing money and giving it to the Treasury but ‘laundering’ it through bonds.”

Update 2: Another way to think of the Fed’s $3.5 trillion acquisition of assets through QE1, QE2 and QE3 is to view the Fed as the “world’s largest hedge fund” — see posts by Scott Grannis here and here for details.

Both are a problem. When they've gone hand in hand for so long, I don't see any reason to say one is more of a problem than the other. They're a package deal at this point.

I don't agree with either Republicans or Democrats on what the money is spent on. It's all wrong... just for very different reasons.

The Dodd–Frank Act was enacted in the aftermath of the crisis to "promote the financial stability of the United States" and it did. But on June 8, 2017, the Republican-led House passed the Financial CHOICE Act, which if enacted, would roll back many of the provisions of Dodd–Frank. But the Republicans have already stopped enforcing Dodd-Frank in order to set the stage for the next Financial crisis, which Republicans will say they didn't cause, once it arrives.

They can be hurt a second time:

How Bad Will It Be If We Hit The Debt Ceiling?

The odds of a self-inflicted US debt crisis now look pretty good: hard-line Republicans are eager to hold the economy hostage, Democrats are in no mood to make concessions, and Trump is both spiteful and ignorant. So it looks fairly likely that by October or so there will come a day when the U.S. government stops paying some of its bills, including interest on debt.

How bad will that be? The truth is that we don’t know; but it may be helpful to talk about *why* we don’t know.

Until now, US debt has played a special role in the world economy, because it is — or was — the ultimate safe asset, the thing people can use to secure transactions with no questions about it retaining its value. In a way, the dollar is to other moneys as money is to other assets, and US dollar debt is the form in which dollars are held with ultimate safety.

Taking away that role could be very nasty. One prominent interpretation of the 2008 financial crisis is that it was a “safe asset shortage“: when people realized that those AAA securities engineered from subprime loans weren’t the real thing, they scrambled into an inadequate supply of trill safe stuff. Deprive them of dollar debts as safe assets, and terrible things could happen.

The question then becomes whether an interruption in payments would really knock out the special role of U.S. debt.

Suppose that everyone expected normal payments to resume, with back interest, in a couple of weeks. In that case, even a slight discount on, say, Treasury bills would make them a very good investment — so speculators would basically step in and support the value of U.S. debt despite temporary default. In that case default might not be that big a deal.

The big problem would come if investors see the default as more than a temporary glitch — if they see it as a sign of enduring, critical dysfunction in American governance. In that case they wouldn’t necessarily step in to buy our debt, and their confidence in the whole economic edifice would take a severe hit.

That is up 2,386 since taking office. 6 1/2 months ago.

That is a gain of over 12% so far, and over 22% per annum so far.

For those not so clued on the math concept, that is more than the 8% per year Obama did in his first 2 years - without GOP control of Congress.
And that is more than the 12% per year for Bobo's 6 years with GOP control of Congress, despite Bobo having the absolutely easiest period for economic recuperation. Now Trump is adding on top of already historic highs, a much more difficult feat.

Once upon a time, the boogeymen and naysayers and chicken littles were pointing out the bloated Federal Debt and excessive Democrap spending on Libtard policies and fantasies. Yet they were right.

Somehow, now the Libtards have shifted focus and proclaimed that the Limits to Federal Debt - aka Debt Ceiling - are the impending apocalyptic obstacle which will drive America (and the World) into economic collapse. Apparently Debt Ceiling Increase addiction is worse than crack, coke, horse, or absinthe.

Anybody who is against fiscal control, debt reduction, deficit elimination, spending control is the hero, the goodest of guys.

Perhaps the GOP Congress will forever (and I do mean forever, not just for a week or two) not raise the Debt Ceiling since it is a matter of Republican principle. Then we never again have to speculate about the consequences, since everyone (Democrat, Republican, or neither) would finally know for certain if it crashes the stock market. We already know it would crash the bond market, because who would trade federal bonds that don't pay interest?

Maybe interest payments on treasury bonds would be prioritized, which means there wouldn’t be a default on bonds. Instead, Social Security checks and Medicare payments to doctors could be delayed. Decisions, decisions for poor old Trump.

You've been predicting and cheering for a Dow meltdown since your first post in January.

You've been so WRONG for so long, it's no wonder the ONLY way you can deal with your titanic ignorance is by continuing to be a whiny cunty pisspot.

Nothing is going to happen with North Korea. Nobody there suffers from some sick ideology like Islam, and they're well aware that there is no ROI in starting any shit. No matter what potential consequences that would lead to elsewhere, everybody knows it would end badly for them... including the NK leadership.

Kim's just a tiny little dog with a big bark. He wants attention.

They should open the doors and integrate with South Korea. Then they could enjoy K-Pop and Kim can make the next Gangam Style video and everybody lived happily ever after.

They can be hurt a second time:

How Bad Will It Be If We Hit The Debt Ceiling?

The odds of a self-inflicted US debt crisis now look pretty good: hard-line Republicans are eager to hold the economy hostage, Democrats are in no mood to make concessions, and Trump is both spiteful and ignorant. So it looks fairly likely that by October or so there will come a day when the U.S. government stops paying some of its bills, including interest on debt.

why are you lying?
Are intentionally lying to Fans of Firefly?
Or are you just ignorant enough to regurgitate your spoon fed Libtard fantasies?

The 14th Amendment Section 4 ensures that if the Debt Ceiling is reached, the first payments that will be made will be the debt obligations. The government has a continuous stream of incoming revenues, which easily cover the debt payments. The part that is not before debt obligations is the overbloated wasteful liberal spending, which is why Libtards are apoplectic about the possibility. The government can shut down again and the debt payments will still be made.
The health care Insurance industry can return to it's prior efficencies without the burdensome shackles of Obamacare for a few days, or forever.
Your favorite libtard programs can go on hiatus until a balanced budget gets passed, but the debt payments will still be made.

I know something that will unsteady the market:

The market expects people with incomes greater than $600,000 to get a $145,000 tax cut.

Incomes less than $228,000 get a $1,180 tax cut.

Less than $40,000 get $320. This is where most people live, but they can't move the stock market because they own very little of it.

Less than $25,300 get $130.

If the $600,000 people do NOT get their $145,000 tax cut, they will crash the stock market out of indignation toward Trump.

And that is like the 12% per year for Bobo's 6 years with GOP control of Congress, despite Bobo having the absolutely easiest period for economic recuperation. Now Trump is adding on top of already historic highs, a much more difficult feat.

That's like the gains I was getting before the bottom fell out at my last job. Nice for the people who have jobs with benefits. Doesn't amount to fuck-all for the rest of us though.

I'm not salty though. It's official. I've now lived in this home long enough that if I was paying rent for a decent apartment in the area I would have spent as much on rent as I paid for this house. Every day I live here now I live practically for free, and whatever I make selling the house is a gain.

Life is pretty copacetic.

I wish it was that simple. As homeowners we also have to pay for property tax, home and appliance repairs, and homeowner's insurance. I got whacked this month with $5,000 in bills for a new water heater and a/c unit. Next up is end of year property tax at around $8,000. After that, new carpeting and bathroom vanities. Sometimes I wish I was a renter with no cares in the world.

Well... Sorry to hear about your very, very high property taxes, RL. That's one of the things my parents are fleeing from. They pay somewhere around what you do. At 8,000/year, you're paying the Government as much "rent" to own your home as my apartment back in 2009 was costing me every month.

I've still got plenty of things to do on my house, but I've got the rest of my life to do them. Except for some ant-proofing stuff and a drain-pipe leak from the sump pump I'm going to fix before winter, none of them need to be done tomorrow. If the economy ever gets so bad or something happens that I can't afford my $1,150/year property taxes or the occasional fix around my house when I have almost zero monthly bills then we're all screwed anyway, I guess is my thought.

Paying rent is a very big "care". At least it was for me. After I lost what I thought might be the last good job I'll ever have, the idea of pissing away my savings over time on rent receipts was a nightmare to me. Sure, home ownership can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but I don't regret the choice I made.

That's nice. I'm being taxed for 3 bedrooms, but I've never gotten around to remodeling the basement. Even though the state considers the basement in a tri-level house livable space, I have to argue since if the power goes out or the sump pump fails during a huge storm everything could be flooded again. If I ever make enough money to install a Generac I'll do the basement. Otherwise it's just risky business.

The stock market has tended to drop when just about everyone thinks the good times will never end. Some people think we’re hitting “peak giddiness” now. Consider these stats:

63 percent of Americans believe the stock market will be higher a year from now…This is the highest level ever recorded by the survey…60 percent of market experts are bullish and only 15 percent are bearish…The P/E ratio, a widely watched gauge of how expensive the market is, has topped 21 for the Dow…It was 20 heading into the 1987 crash.
