Osama took over at the end of the great recession of course the stock market went up It was at 8k.Follow-up, for added clarity.![]()
I made some money at the end of his term.
Trump took over and my personal and most everyone else's 401went crazy.
Biden takes over my personal 401k in 2023 and 2024 down exactly 21.2%
Fidelity. Wish I could show you.
Granted my stocks did well
I was smart 2x I bought a ton of stock in 2008 when everyone was selling and 2020 the same.
So looking at my own numbers..
This is just 401k that you can actually track.
2009-2015- my 401k was actually up 16% not bad. Better than I thought.
2016-2020- up 41%
2020-2024- down exactly 12.3%.
less than I thought.
2025- till today up about 33%
Go look at your 401ks my guess is a lot of people are like this.
Also regarding Biden I was in a tax bracket that got destroyed. We are talking 45% + on bonuses.
Under Trump alot of that comes back to me for more investing
