Market Finish This Week

[_Bach]

Market again finished another strong week.

Was up 228 alone today. Investors seem to be focused on the important things this Friday.

Anyone disagree?

Yea, it's kind of bad news. Some time over the next few weeks I need to invest a couple hundred thousand of profit sharing into the 401(k) accounts of my employees, and I'd rather not do it when the market is overvalued.

That statement alone says volumes. Market timers never had the wherewithall to be true investors.

Says the fellow who believes that the market lost ground overall during Obama's time in office.

"Market is up again" was a phrase we all got bored with during 8 years of Obama. Now suddenly you've come to adore it when the black guy is out of office.

Didn't you already establish that when I said I preferred to defer taxes by investing in my 401(k) rather than investing with after-tax dollars like big boys like you do?

(have to make sure, and check w Juliann up front, that I don’t get banned from this thread by using the same language that you live by here but:)

Are you that stupid and ignorant?!?!!

When, under any Obama time in office did companies come out in mass with corporate bonuses and minimum wage hikes, all for the working people, like we’ve just witnessed, in masses, as we’ve all just experienced?!?!? WAY TO MANY TO LIST !!

Have no doubt you want to go back to the Obama days of 1-2% GDP growth ( and please don’t ask me to explain GDP and how it’s growth affects our economy and wages. Just can’t spend as much time Gee as you do!

Wow. Both your market position and expertise must be piss poor if a $1000 bonus from Walmart today (which your company isn’t even offering) beats your portfolio investment earnings from the time span when Obama was in office.

It seems you're just as ignorant about this as you are the stock market. The fact that you actually believe Trump is causing companies to give bonuses "in masses" is proof positive that you're not very familiar with modern corporate America. Companies giving raises and bonuses is something that happens every year with thousands of companies. But your idiot sources don't credit the President for any of that when he's black and Democrat. But much of the stuff Trump is taking credit for, we're now finding out had nothing at all to do with Trump, such as the AT&T bonuses that were negotiated via union, before Trump took office.

As far as the phenomenon of companies giving bonuses, you must have never worked a day during Obama's 8 years because what we're seeing now is just a continuation of the trend that was started well before Trump took office. SO you were either living on the moon, or you were just sitting in front of FOX News all day listening to all the talk about how the economy was on the verge of collapse because of Obama's job stifling tax hikes.

2012: If You Don't Get A Bonus This Year, You're In The Minority, Survey Says: "Nearly three in four employers plan to hand out year-end bonuses in 2012, according to a new survey by Chicago-based outplacement giant Challenger, Gray & Christmas. That’s quite a boost from last year, when only 53% of firms planned to hand out year-end rewards."

2013: Half Of All Employers Will Offer Bonuses
