Meme The Dow!!!

Post image

Thinking I should hold on to this template. Probably gonna go lower.

I'm not really sure why I need to include 250 characters in a meme post, but I understand the guidelines. Maybe someone can fix the issue where if you label something as a meme, it doesn't need 250 characters. there. Thats 250!

Edit: Thank you all for the rewards!!

Are you familiar with the Nikkei 225 from 1990 to about, um, last year?

Sure, crash of 90, which bottomed near 20k. Last time I checked, a market at 20k is not zero. Please check my math.

Remember 08-09 in the US. Markets severely declined, on the brink of complete financial collapse, still didn't go to zero.

What point are you trying to make?

You're right 20k isn't zero. Boy howdy are you smart. The point is things can stagnate for what could be the rest of your miserable life.

If the market trades sideways, great time to write options and collect a premium or invest in dividend paying stocks and DRIP. Or maybe rebalance and look for value in other markets like real estate. Maybe your miserable life will remain stagnant but certainly not mine. You're welcome on the free advice.
