2022 Investment Performance - Thanks Democrats
« on: January 09, 2023, 10:52:03 pm »
The S&P 500 Index was down 19.44% for 2022.  Thanks Democrats

Nasdaq was down 33.07%.  Thanks Democrats.

My portfolio was up 8/10%, killing the benchmarks.

How did you do?  I was overwhelmingly in cash due to suspicions of Democrat stupidity, validated.

Took some profits early in 2022 and did not buy back in.

Didn't cash lose about 10-15% of it value over 2022?

1. Inflation is under 10% for 2022.
2.  Losses from Nasdaq and other equity markets are compounded by inflation losses.
HELLO!  So Nasdaq investments lost 42% of their value, didn't they.

$91 billion Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX)  was down 28.26% for 2022.
American Funds Growth (AGTHX) was $200 billion.  Down 30.72%.
American Funds (AMCAP)  $88 billion.  Down 28.78%.

I killed them!  Made 8/10ths of a percent.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Starting in January, I bought canned goods--by the case.

I'm not disappointed, as current prices are up as much as 25% over what I paid.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
