re: The Number of People Over 40 Giving Birth Surpasses Teens for the First Time
Posted by Cajun75 on 4/28/25 at 1:59 pm
After having been married for the past 30 years, I am pleased to say that my wife has never had to work an outside job, so I can absolutely say the need for two incomes is not absolute, especially when you're having to turn around and pay the outrageous fees mentioned in this thread for childcare. Our kids were all homeschooled as well and are now in or graduated from college with good degrees and high ACT scores. I don't think having kids after 40 is ideal since you're more of a grandparent by then.

I think people can be honest and say the dow going down 1000 points 4 times since the tariff announcement when its only gone down 1000 points 11 times in history (now) is definitely concerning
You do realize that using "points" rather than "percentage" is extremely misleading?? 1,000 points on 40,000 at current levels of the Dow is only 2.5%, while 1,000 points on 10,000 Dow is 10%. As the Dow grows, 1,000 points becomes a smaller and much more common occurence. It's becoming more and more obvious, that there are way too many uninformed people in the market these days and it's probably time that the tree be shaken to remove a lot of these folks.

What's up with you, RohanGonzales?? You can't do a simple check to verify this before you post a rebuttal to my assertion regarding the last two S&P calendar years?? Two other posters have verified 20+% in '23 and '24 before I even had a chance to respond. Again, those of you who have sky-high expectations of the stock market and short-time horizons should not have one penny invested in it.

How is this setting you back 5 years? The S&P is still up 2.8% over the last year.
Because I think a lot of people especially newcomers to the market had the naive thought that their investments were going to gain 20% each and every year like the S&P did the last two calendar years.

MOST of the people with anti-Trump posts on this board regarding the market should obviously not be in the market at all. If you're depending on the stock market for part of your current income or you are close to retirement you should be in safer investments.

Just like Kamala, she does herself no favors by opening her mouth.

Zeh and her
Guess they throw out the part of the bible where Paul says women need to keep silent in the church, and one of the main requirements of a Bishop or pastor is to be the HUSBAND of one WIFE which I think disqualifies her.

Easy for all of us to talk a big game when its not our families on the line.
If that's the case for her, she should resign her position if she can't truly vote her beliefs due to fear.

re: Newsmax IPO up 735% Monday, another 179% Tuesday; down 77% Wednesday

Yep....unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to trade my IPO shares with my brokerage for another week as that's the projected transfer date to my brokerage. :wah:
re: NewsMax opened yesterday at their IPO of $14 share.
Posted by Cajun75 on 4/1/25 at 9:39 am
Looks like it spiked all the way up to $190 before now coming back down. I got in the IPO at $10, but now have to wait for my shares to be transferred to my brokerage to sell.... :wah:
re: Are y'all averaging down right now? if so what are you buying
Posted by Cajun75 on 3/31/25 at 1:59 pm
Yeah, never envisioned it doing that today.....almost didn't buy but managed to purchase 100 shares on the IPO. Transferring to my Schwab account so it'll probably go back down before I can trade on it, LOL.
