Don’t worry. No one will ask you, seeing as how you have started so many threads that consistently demonstrate your knowledge of markets and finance to be on par with that of a hamster.

It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
Kevin Graham wrote: 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.
2010: According to Businessinsider, Google offers all of its employees $1,000 cash holiday bonus and 2011 Salary increases of at least 10%.
2011: General Motors and Chrysler, which posted much-improved results last year after reorganizing in bankruptcy court in 2009, said Friday that they would pay bonuses to salaried workers in the United States...The bonuses will range from 4 percent to 16 percent of annual pay for 96 percent of G.M.’s white-collar work force, the statement said.
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."
2014: More companies award bonuses: "More companies are offering cash bonuses for the first time in years or are increasing the size of bonuses. Some are back to offering pay raises to start in January. "

by the way Bach, we're still waiting for you to explain how Trump made all of those companies expand, jack up wages and give huge bonuses throughout the Obama years.

Did anyone feel pain in there investment portfolio this month so far?
I had 25% growth in my portfolio this past month. But that was only in an aggressive tech Stock i bought. YTD evretyyhing else was up around 18%. Anyone here see a decline in their retirement portfolio planning this past month?
Seriously: Anyone here want to go back to the Obama economy (other KG)?
Other KG and EA - anyone here complaining about what’s wrong with this economy???
My cumulative return on my pre-Obama investments during the Obama years was over 200% on the stock side. That's phenomenal. That's because he took the presidency when the stock market had crashed and was president during 8 years of recovered growth. The economy Trump has inherited has a strong annualized growth rate in stocks, though I'm fairly certain it has under-performed the annualized average growth under Obama's presidency. Because I do not attribute stock prices to who is president like a uneducated man-child, I don't think this is a demonstration of the superiority of Obama policy, but it does make the challenge a bizarre one. I'd gladly take the market growth of Obama's first year in office or his first year after his reelection over Trump's first year. This is because I can do math.
