Roughly $11.1 trillion has been wiped away from the U.S. stock market since Jan. 17, the Friday before President Donald Trump took the oath of office and began his second term, according to data from Dow Jones Market Data.

Some $6.6 trillion of that figure was lost on Thursday and Friday alone — the largest two-day wipeout of shareholder value on record, Dow Jones data showed.

    Not exactly sure how one is supposed to transfer one’s 401k to government securities on such a short timescale…

      Trump was elected in November. I had every cent moved out of US stocks by mid December. My tax burden is already less than what I would have lost if I kept them money where it was.

      There was plenty of time if you were paying attention. If you didn’t move your money, unfortunately, that’s on you.

      Edit: SPY puts with 20%. The 40% bonds. 30% forex. 10% cash. But what the fuck do I know. I didn’t make any money and you all know exactly what you’re talking about and I’m full of shit.
