It would take a measure of honesty to admit that the S&P 500 is now higher than it was during the March-April correction that was triggered by the imposition of Trump's tariffs. And the Dow Jone Industrial Average is very close to where it was then. But I've learned to never expect to see honesty from you CZ.

eeb is 100% correct. The 20% decrease you tout now is past history. The market correction was long overdue, and the very temporary drop provided a buying opportunity for astute investors. Precious metals remain much higher than they were under Biden because metals investors understand how Democrats destroyed the dollar via inflation. Essentially, the value of precious metals is the same... but the dollar is worth much less. Another inflationary spiral with Democrats running things. Once again they screwed the people they claim to represent. And many of those people are stupid enough to believe them.

Unfortunately, the March-April correction also provided yet another opportunity for dishonest Democrats like you to twist facts and to post lies. Liberal Democrats like you and DimmyW were crowing about a short term loss on paper that has since been reversed for the vast majority. You lying turds even made the false claim that it was the worst stock market correction since the Great Depression.

If it wasn't for lies and deceit, the Democrat Party would have nothing at all. But fools like you, DimmyW, Princess SKB Stevie, the Nutty Professor, et al, will continue to die on that deceptive hill, and continue to support the Party of Socialism, Open Borders, Lawfare, Political Persecution, False Narratives, Fake News, high taxes, fraud-waste-and-abuse in government, perverted LGBTQ behaviors, defense of pedophiles, and Transgender grooming of children, etc. It is why many life-long Democrats are finally wising up and walking away:
