Trump bashers, have you done a year-end wealth analysis? Do you even have any wealth to analyze?

Question

In the past 6+ months my personal wealth has increased by 7.5% (47,000) which I consider fantastic, given the ravages of the virus.  In the next six months, I will be happy if I do not end up in the minus category.  You people made a huge mistake.

? · Answer

So 6 months ago you had $627,000 ??  {Possible if your house is skyrocketing up, or you made some lucky stock picks.}  Unknown at this time if the voters "made a mistake."

The DOW was up almost 2000 points this year.
However......From 1/1 through 11/4, it was down over 500 points.  All of the gain has happened since 11/4.

So, the entire year's gain happened after people realized that Trump was no longer going to be President.

unrelated to personal finance. And trump does not get the credit for your wealth.  I voted for him but I can move on. He is not going to overturn the election based on a small number of fraudulent votes.

Normally, I would consider 7.5% "fantastic".
In 2019, my stock investments grew 32% and in 2020 about 28%.
About 50% of my "wealth" is in real estate which has been stable in my area.

Have you do a life expectancy analysis?

The fact that you're still alive is enough reason to be happy -- but those who aren't, while they may also have had a wealth increase, are not happy; they are dead.
