Are you kidding? I made a TON of money on 0bama. It was clear to me when he was elected the nation had lost it’s mind and put a Marxist in the White House. I bought at $800 and sold two years later at $1800. (Something like that, it has been a while now.)

not sure what you mean. You said you bought gold when Obama was elected and then you sold it two years later. That was during the financial crisis that started in 2008 - actually before Obama was elected. Obama has now been in office over 6 years.

I was just commenting on what you said about investments tanking under Hillary — well they haven’t under Obama. One can run a chart of Gold vs S&P since 2010 or so. A picture is worth a thousand words. Stocks have done well. Gold has not. Over the last 5 years stocks have an annualized return over 17% a year. Gold has gone down 1% a year over the last 5 years and down 10% a year over the last 3 years. That is all with a marxist in the WH.

I would never invest my money based on politics, idealogy and just who happens to be in the WH. It is far more complicated than that — as you know I am sure.
