Do we still have strong investor clients who aren't affected by stock market performance?

My point of view is to look back and say, "OK, so I am back to where I was last June".

Big deal.

Just don't get attached to your recent highs, and feel like you "own" them.

If you are up 20%, and you retreat so you are now up 10%, I regard that as being up less, NOT that I have "lost" money.

Yeah, hard to let go of the anchoring bias.

My investment account wishes that guy had been a better shot last year (j/k ). I assume mitchell doesn't have anything in the market.
I like the idea of a smaller Government and less waste but this yahoo is a train wreck.

One of my worries that Trump does not give shit. I know the market at one point will recover, I accumulated nice nest egg and also have terminal cancer that i get treatment and consultation in US. I will sell most of my stocks not any of them at loss .

They're saying on the news we could be headed for a massive, historic stock market crash tomorrow (similar to Black Monday in 1987)

Futures not down as much at the moment.

Buy bce and telus. They have been up the past 3 trading days . Go figure

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

The problem with all this is the more the markets collapse everyday, the less strong Trump's bargaining position becomes when it comes to negotiating the tariffs

Can't wait for the mid-terms

I retired about 10 years ago and depend on my investments for income. They're mostly blue-chip dividend paying stocks that are unlikely to cut their dividend.

Given how over-valued the markets have been, this would have happened this year anyway.

I'm likely going to start purchasing more stocks today and into the month.

So, ya, I'm pretty unaffected.
