Is your goal to make more money or to get a higher percentage return, given the fact that the entry point of both investments is much different?
Why does Trumplethinskin keep repeating the lie that....

Now, that is a legitimate question so I will answer. My goal is to achieve the largest return on investment possible in term of a percent. Proper asset allocation over TIME will account for the largest possible wealth increase in terms of dollars. The ultimate goal of any investor is to achieve the largest percent of return by keeping one's risk at a minimum while ensuring one's wealth is accumulating over time. In terms of financial analysis, you can't compare two distinct points or raw data and claim there is a relevant and distinguishing measurement by just looking at the end result. Please, don't try to get a certification in any field of accounting or finance or economics with this type of "knowledge" you are espousing.
And I will warn you once even though I won't get into much of an argument on a message board. I rather just mock at those that will argue based on nothing but being stubborn. But you are entering one of my areas of expertise. Stick to whatever you do because you truly suck at this.
You and doc were the ones comparing someone investing in a dow index at 2 completely different price points with 2 completely different risk exposures and comparing simple percentage return. You should probably not lecture me on finance.
It’s all about percentages, not total money earned. I mean, you get in the stock market to look at percentages not fat stacks increasing. The bad thing is I’m not even shitting on Obama. He had a great first year despite all of the rhetoric. He inherited an economy ready to rebound and it did.
Trump took over a stagnant economy where we had 1.8% growth, was told it was the new normal, and proceeded to dispel that myth. The DOW is on a rocket ship and the economy is over 3% and approaching 4%.
I already smashed his stupid idiot laced argument on the “cost” of a tax cut. His latest about maximizing ROI is 100% on the money, assuming it’s a corresponding increase in dollars. As it keeps getting pointed out, it’s not a valid comparison. I making more actual money, if my ROI % was higher, I’d be making more, I get that. However, playing in actual dollars, I’ve seen more overall dollar increase.
Anytime you look simply at a percentage gain alone the larger percentage gain will always be easier when value is lower. If people actually invested money solely on a presidents first year in office they would have had a larger return under Obama. If someone is invested long term, they would make more money in Temps forst year than in Obamas, assuming their investment matched the Dow. In reality most investmebts are not index funds and they will adjust to maximize gains under whatever the current condition of the market is and within the risk parameters stated in the fund.
It's amazing just how much he lives in your head...I think he's sitting back and laughing at all the 'fact checkers' that scramble with everything he says.
Some people care that the socalled prez lies and some don't. You don't seem to or it would concern you.
Hell there were a lot more lies than that hich were never mentioned by moe and others. The tolerance for political lies is indirectly proportional to your political affiliation with a given politician.
Crazy that people were upset that they lost their doctors and paid more money for less services based on a marketing lie.
Since I liked my health care plan and kept it, there was no reason for me to complain. Trump is in a league of his own on telling lies and it's not even close. Trump tells several big whoppers a week, sometimes several/day. It's really something to behold especially the stuff that's so easy to disprove but he just doesn't care.
He quickly dropped out of the discussion. Can't blame him, it's not easy to defend Trump's lying.You know this not to be true. You and I both lost our doctors. You KNOW THIS! Stop your LYING!![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
LIAR! DAMN YOU! You and Moe both know this isn't true. All three of us lost our insurance, or our premiums skyrocketed, and lost our doctors as well. You know it. Just admit it.

Maybe he works for the feds.
I don't know a single person or company that could make such a claim.
Well, at least Biff didn't lie about Mexico paying for that beautiful wall that's already been built on the border.
I haven't met a one. Either deductibles have gone up, employee contributions have gone up, or premiums in general. And god forbid you're not on a business plan and on the exchanges, friends on the exchanges have gone through hell.
Show me in the past when prices of insurances haven't gone up some? Isn't that the norm?
Most of the people we deal with, including our firm, have been in HD HSA plans for years. Very minimal impact. Plus they are great for tax purposes. Make the move today!!
You guys have everyone else on ignore who you claim lie about, ignore, or distorts facts. So why aren't you ignoring yourselves?
Using this logic a 2% tax break on 39.6% top rate is a "giveaway" to the "rich" but a 13% tax break for a 45, 000 dollar a year wage earner from 28% down to 15% is "robbing from the middle class" to "giveaway" money to the "rich". Leftist "new math".
What have I said I am?Prove you are an engineer.....or whatever it is you say you are........opcorn:
