Not at all. The stock market has averaged about 8% increase every year since it began.


100 million invested in 1950 would be nearly 5 billion today at that rate.

An astute investor that earned 10% for 50 years would have about 12 billion today.

Trump is and always has been a fraud.

Yep, she would probably cover it up with dirt of dead tree leaves.

I would not trust her even if she was my dog!

What we do know about her is that she will play - if you pay. If you don't have money, like most Americans, you are out of luck! The scariest thing about Hillary is that we have found out how little influence most Americans have in their own direction. The Trump candidacy has shown us how the Clintons have ties in all the agencies that are supposed to be the check and balance of our system - they are all linked together! We have nobody on our side.

Should of been more specific . Startups that take venture capital from VC "daddy's"

Take a look here

We can all play this game.

I wouldn't trust Donald Trump alone with my daughter.

I wouldn't trust Donald Trump to tell the truth if his life depended on it.

I wouldn't enter into a contract with him because he has a long history of not holding up his end of the bargain.

I wouldn't be business partners with Donald Trump because he screws people over.

I wouldn't buy anything from Donald Trump because he lies about the products he sells.

I wouldn't invited Donald Trump to a party because I'm afraid he'd insult a guest.

Would you trust Bill around your daughter ?
Even Dems admit Hillary is a liar
Long history of lawsuits? Every big company has a bunch of lawsuits
" screws people over " then why do people continue to do business with him ?? If this was common knowledge they wouldn't do business with him .

Lies about the products he sells ? Ok . You don't have to buy his products they do very very well .

Insult guests ? How ? Would he insult them and call them deplorable like Hillary ?

The difference is, entrepreneurs have to go to the VC guys and convince them they are a good risk. Donnie never had to beg for funding when Daddy was there with his open checkbook, so he never had to prove his worth. And then Daddy bailed him out when he failed. Real entrepreneurs don't have that soft, cushy luxury. So when they fail, like Donald has failed, they go down. Donnie just went to Daddy.

There are people that have rich family members but they still don't want to help them . Also there are lots of people that are handed or inherit money but they aren't able to grow that money or even keep it and squander it .
How do you know Trump didn't have to convince his father ?
