Stocks, Investing and Retirement Accounts

Should have been more, a lot more, as this is just as some say the slow bandaid rip off method that still isn't enough. Make the dumb hurt. Sorry but yeah real banks, real money, is how it should be not some new age digital currency trying to change what worked for so long obsolete.
 
Janet Yellen's comments were the reason for the dump. She said they are not considering "blanket insurance" for all deposits. Market didn't like that.
 
WTF is going on today?

I meant why is it down so bad today? The announcement of the president running again?

 
I am interested in those that invest. Have you even seen much growth at all this year? Since I have been back into it with all the ups and downs lately, I am basically at a flat line with no growth. Is it just me or has anyone had growth this year? I mean at this rate my money under my mattress would have made the same amount. Are the days of investing over for new investors?

My retirement accounts which are all index funds are up 7.5% year to date. I'm very happy with that in this environment which is not stock friendly.

You need to think in years (decades), not days and months.

I understand that but you probably started years ago, which means you got in cheaper and have had things compound since then. As a new guy coming onto the scene, just starting out. I feel like it's almost impossible with the market these days. It reminds me of the last generation, the new generation will never be able to afford a home. I am starting to feel that was about the market as well.

You won't make money with a doom and gloom attitude. If you don't believe your money will grow years down the line from money invested in the market today, there is no point to it for you. And that's ok. There are other things to invest in though. Find what what you like.
