Talking Obama and my 401(k)!

Howdy Everybody,

I just checked my 401(k) and since 11-05-08 (The day after the election)until 04-17-09 (Friday), my 401(k) has increased 79.0%!!!!!!

Thank you President Obama!!!

Yeah, from 4-1-08 untill 11-04-08 I had a return of -13.4%!

From 4-18-07, the farest the online bit would go back, to 11-04-08, election day, I had a return rate of -14.8%!

From 01-20-09 to 04-17-09 I had a return rate of 33.7%

1.) Did Pres. Obama have anything to do with this?

2.) Did it take several years for all the "Good Stuff" that the Repubs do to finally kick in?

3.) Am I just a heck of a smart guy and outsmarted Wall Street?

4.) I'm just dumb as a rock and I got lucky.

I BS you not. These numbers came straight off my 401(k)'s online statement.

Paul

P.S. Actually what I did was listen to a bunch of guys at work that claim to know how the stock market works but really doesn't have a clue, then I just did the opposite!
