This thread is 15 pages long and almost two years old and I don't understand any of it.

Carry on, smart people.

Two years old and the market as a whole today is exactly where it was when this was opened lol.

The large caps are higher so S&P500 is a measly 8% higher but the NYSE composite unchanged.

A bubble in trouble.

B_J, we're all riding the money train thanks to Obama! It's really simple, just pm me your bank account info and I'll set the whole thing up for you!

Thanks Obama!

Yeah? The Dow was at 16478 that day. It is up exactly 8.162% since then. Exactly like I said. I just gave the S&P as an example but the dow is also large caps, in case you were not aware. Like I said, the BROAD market is exactly where it was. And even 8% is a real measly return in 2 years.

For a guy who claims to make a living playing with numbers, your math isn't all that great. The day I posted this thread the Dow was at 16,479.88, it closed on Friday at 17,823. Using my abacus, that comes out to a +1345 since this thread was started. So yeah, the Dow is up over 1300 points. Please obtain an abacus.

[OriZ 3,157]

My goodness I didn't think it would be so difficult to explain such simple math.

1345/16478*100 = 8.1%.

But nevermind carry on....

+8% is not exactly where it was two years ago. Exactly where it was a year ago would be 16478, not 17,823.

I hear cheese curd futures are the big buy of the day in VT.

Funny because in August it was in the mid 15000's. That's where I bought in. Thanks Obama!

Gotta ride that coaster, plenty of dips and plenty of rises. That's good you got in at the right time.

You DO realize there's more to this market than the Dow, right?

The NASDAQ was at 4,167.18 when I started this thread and today it's at 5,104.92, also up 8%.

The S&P 500 is also up almost 9% from 1,842.02 when I started this thread to 2,089.17 as of today.

Thanks Obama!!

Again, large caps...

small caps are DOWN.

Broad market unchanged.

Sounds like you're having font problems. Are you on a hand phone?

Here is math anyone can understand:

In March 2009, the DOW hit 6,550...

Since Obama took office in 2009, the Dow has averaged a 12% increase per year!

As a comparison we can look to the 8 Bush years from 2001 t0 2008 in which the Dow averaged a -7.12% decrease per year. Yes that's a negative 7.12%.
