Stock Market 2022

I have lost money in both my retirement accounts since January 2 of this year.

Bear or Bull, this is a bunch of bull. Stop with all these loses.

How did it do in the 4 years before Biden and how has it done, historically? Is this the only year it has stunk? If so, maybe stop looking at the short term.

When the market took a crap in '08, the manager of the place where I had kept my accounts told me that nobody had seen it coming. I asked why many of my friends did and they pulled out, even though they didn't work in the financial markets, but he didn't have an answer.

It's a global issue. Unemployment rate is considered full employment or almost so.

OK, but how many have stopped looking or collecting unemployment? Saying 'full employment' is BS- look at the drastic increase in homelessness and tell me everyone is working. They use their version of the numbers to paint a rosy picture, just like saying "Inflation isn't a problem". Look at the price increases at a grocery store- yeah, it's a big effing problem.
