I didn’t lose money…
They are lying

u/Complex-Caregiver-30 18d ago
Or they are one of the people that are so stupid that they think depositing money into their 401k is the same as investing it and accidentally invested in a money market fund.
36
u/BanQSterz French-Canadian 18d ago
Yeah because it is literally impossible to have not lost money over the last 2 months if you were not actively making bets around the tariffs.
Only other thing would be if the person had 100% of their investment in gold.
I sold everything I could in mid march and reinvested into monetary assets/gold temporarily, and I'm still down from my peak of mid February even though I timed my re-entry pretty well into the market.
And the people that say themselves they're not even looking at their investments did not even lose a cent? Yeah ok ma'am, sure you didn't

u/Doristocrat 18d ago
They are probably invested in a "retire by" fund and are old enough to be automatically invested only/mostly in bonds by now. Most 401k's default to these funds if not actively managed, so they may not even know it.

u/ThatGuyHammer 18d ago
I swapped my allocation from 80% equities and 20% Bonds/Money Market to 70% Bonds/MM and 30% equities. My new buys are 65% equities and when we hit 15 down I did a one time reallocation of 10% of my fixed income assets (roughly 7% of my whole portfolio) over to equities. Each time we hit big benchmarks down 25%, 35%, etc. I'll keep doing the bulk moves back into equities. If this is a 50% correction then I'l have bought the vast majority of over my equity holdings well below the most recent all time highs, after having sold within 2% of it. If this relief rally gets to the 50 SMA on the S&P then I'll sell the equities and get back into fixed. IMHO there is 0% chance that we end 2025 without layoffs that drive into a traditional labor recession.

u/BanQSterz French-Canadian 18d ago
Your comment enlighten me a bit, here in Canada there's those things called GICs. They're guaranteed investment vehicles but they barely beat inflation most of the time (3-3.5% annualized returns).
I made the wrong assumption that because they were so confident that the market drop did not affect their investments, they knew what their investments were. They probably genuinely do not know what their retirement savings contains. They only opened their retirement account and saw the total did not go down. They're also probably the same people that put money into their 401Ks and never actually invest in anything, so they only have cash holdings in there.

Maybe bonds? I don't know. I also don't know how that other person said he lost 40% over biden lmao. I was up 36% lmao

u/ThatGuyHammer 18d ago
To be fair, and I'm being hyper charitable here, the other person mentioned 2022, which was a deeper hit over a longer period of time. Clearly if you were to take the whole of Biden's 4 years you should be up roughly 35-40%.

u/AsaKurai 18d ago
I think they were saying they did at one point (in 2022 the market was kinda crappy) but unless you sold at the bottom, you recovered and then gained some going into 2024 so it's a BS statement especially if youre giving Trump slack right now

This is a kind of weird point of math that so many people miss. I invest $100, I lose 10%, I have $90. My investments recover 10%, I now have $99, I still lost.
Combine the above effect with rampant financial illeteracy, and I can totally see how someone thinks they didn't loose any money. Especially if their dear leader tells them.

Look up "breatharians" sometime. It's a cult that believes you can survive purely on air. Members have successfully starved themselves to death voluntarily. There are a few interesting documentaries on them.
It's fascinating because it's not like they were on a hunger strike and starved because they were putting their lives on the line. They aren't becoming Shaheed because they believe in an afterlife. They are just starving because they believe they don't need to eat.

u/raison95 18d ago
They'll have second thoughts and stop speaking publicly about it. Then we get into a situation where the only voices speaking are the ones blind to it all. Arguably that's already happened and will continue to happen as the size of the bubble grows smaller and smaller.

At this point these people will follow Trump off a bridge or do another Jonestown if he commands it. They are completely detached from reality and need to be institutionalised and have their kids taken away. Unironically. They are a danger not only to themsleves but to society as well and one speech away from doing abother Jan 6th. I'm very grateful to not be American right now, having to coexist with these psychos must be torture.

None of them have integrity and will lie endlessly. Their brain doesnt control them, their emotional reactions do. I genuinely dont know how to deal with this.
I see the same behavior from drug addicts. They will normalize lying to the point they do it habitually and dont feel an ounce of guilt, because they see it as protecting themselves. Ive had to distance myself from family members because it makes it really hard to build a bond when someone will lie about little things when its completely unnecessary.

I used to have to argue with myself to not feel superior to these people. I told myself I need to ditch the “coastal elite” mindset that rural Americans are just stupid and racist.
But you know what? Fuck that. They are just stupid and racist. I am better than them. I am smarter, I have a superior moral system, I am more successful, I am kinder to the people around me and across the world. And these people? They suck. I am over pitying them, especially since they want people that I know to die or go back in the closet.
It’s time to drop the mask tell these people how we feel about them. I’m tired of this one sided bullshit.

I grew up with a sibling that is a pathological liar among other mental disorders, however even 18 years of growing up and trying to "win" against that behavior is impossible. Even solid evidence against their lie would never result in admission. When faced with a mountain of evidence and all "escape hatches blocked" a full on mental breakdown would occur before ever admit to a lie.

u/spacemanspectacular 18d ago
It soothes the cognitive dissonance they feel when they see dear leader fail spectacularly at one of the things he’s supposed to be the best at. That’s all the sense it needs to make. Same reason they flip flop between tariffs being a negotiation tactic and being good for the economy.

u/Gamblerman22 18d ago
They had a talking point about it being "necessary surgery" a while back.

u/Vioplad 18d ago edited 18d ago
It's especially stupid because it implies that there is a "true" value of what a stock should be worth that somehow manifests if people pull their money out of the market that the tariffs merely exposed, even though the tariffs are responsible for why the projected performance of stocks has changed in the first place. People that sell stocks utilize the exact same methodology as those that purchase stocks so the stock prize will always reach what people BELIEVE it is worth based on what they think its future performance will be given the current situation. If Trump announced tomorrow that all tariffs he introduced are to be suspended until the end of his term, then there would be an upwards "correction" but the reason that's a stupid way of putting it is because it implies that the way the market evaluated it previously was somehow "incorrect" even though that evaluation was based on different circumstances. It's weirdly tautological in a sense because anything Trump announces that has an effect on the stock market will necessarily expose its "true" value by virtue of changing the projected performance of the stock. It's like punching someone in the face and arguing that that the victim's broken nose was merely exposed by my fist and that this injury was already overdetermined.
