There's always the niche markets.

Is it me our what? I cannot see this NEW HISTORIC stock market that Biden is claiming where the DOW and NASDAQ are up record amounts. Under Trump my socks soared, my IRA too. When the pandemic came it all came crashing down and like most I bought a lot of devalued stocks, I believe it was around 2021 the stock market came back and everything went back up. probably from everyone buying stocks at bargain basement prices and the economy coming back on line. so at some point probably around early 2022 my equities accounts and IRA went back down. My equities accounts ( stocks) came roaring back for a few months after the Republicans took the house. My equity accounts were up around 30%, cool!! Then when back down and are down now, most are 1/3 to 1/2 of what they were under Trump. oh some are doing real good like Visa, McDonalds, alphabet (google)..etc. not seeing this historic growth. How do they measure the growth? is it in 52 week periods? or quarters ? or what. If stocks go down 50% then eventually comes up 20% do they say yeah stocks are up 20%. i would think my IRA would show this too. My IRA is back where it was about in 2019. for now i filling this historic stock market growth right next to the historic 81 million votes.
