Stock Market craziness

I have a lot of money invested in the Stock Market. Been doing this since high school. I have stocks, bonds, IRA, and annuities. Over the years, I have done well. I hate Biden. Ever since he became President, the stock market has been volatile. One week, I make some money, The next week, I lose money. The market seems to be bouncing up and down a lot. It is crazy. I wish the market would calm down and just make money steadily. Do you invest money in stocks that pay dividends? Are you patient with bonds cause they take a long time to mature? How are your investments fairing? I am retired so I live off of the interest from my investments? When the market goes down, I lose income. When it goes up, I make income. So far, I have not had to draw down on my principal investment. But the market has truly been scary.

The global economy in general has been volatile. It isn't Biden's fault. COVID, supply chain issues, war in Ukraine, etc.

I agree with you. The global market is not good as a whole.

I agree with NJ Chicaa! We just leave our investments alone. They always bounce back.

Yeah I agree with you, though I have no investments. I hope you never have to draw down.
