Those of us who are saving for retirement have been investing all during the run up. If we were investing to get the 50% return that Trump was mocking us for not getting, then the situation would even be more dire.

This is my go to Trump quote. We need campaign ads around it.

Trump: STOCK MARKET AT ALL-TIME HIGH! HOW ARE YOUR 401K’S DOING? 70%, 80%, 90% up? Only 50% up! What are you doing wrong?
