When examined over long stretches, stocks stand atop the pedestal in terms of annualized return, relative to all other asset classes. But this doesn't mean the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI -1.33%), S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.13%), and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC -0.13%) move from Point A to B in a straight line. Stock market corrections, bear markets, and even crashes are normal, healthy, and inevitable aspects of investing on Wall Street.

Few (if any) Wall Street money managers trust in the U.S. economy and the stock market more than Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A 0.82%) (BRK.B 0.39%) CEO Warren Buffett. The affably dubbed "Oracle of Omaha" has delivered a stunning cumulative return of 6,325,426% for Berkshire's Class A shares (BRK.A) since becoming CEO six decades ago.

For most retirees, Social Security provides an indispensable source of income. Even though the average retired-worker benefit check was a modest $1,980.86 in February, this payout has been necessary to help beneficiaries make ends meet. Since 2002, pollster Gallup has been conducting annual surveys to gauge how reliant retirees are on the income they receive from America's leading social program.

Over the last two months, Wall Street has offered investors a not-so-subtle reminder that stocks do, in fact, move in both directions. Since the benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.13%) peaked on Feb. 19, the famous Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI -1.33%), S&P 500, and growth stock-oriented Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC -0.13%) have respectively lost 12.3%, 14%, and 18.8% of their value, as of the closing bell on April 17.

In February, more than 52 million retired-worker beneficiaries took home an average Social Security check of $1,980.86. While this is a relatively modest payout, it nevertheless keeps more people out of poverty than any other government program. According to an analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Social Security lifted 22 million people above the federal poverty line in 2023, 16.3 million of whom were aged 65 and over.

Simply amazing that "naked shorts" are holding down $GME w/ *checks notes* 519 FTDs You'll get the dumbest excuses about swaps, overseas FTDs, or "ETF manipulation" (that's courtesy of A-1 dip$hit @smokinthemeats), but you'll never get a fact that backs up their 🐴💩crime claim https://t.co/eK46BWUUS9
Ask yourself how unbelievably stupid someone would have to be to think $XRT is being used to short GME, which makes up 1.5% or less of XRT when ~ 250M GME shares can be borrowed. Then ask yourself why Low-IQ Chaz would lie about dark pool activity to cover his losses in $GME ?
Ask yourself, why would a hairdresser blatantly lie about something like this? 🤣🤣🤣 $gme $amc $bbbyq $btc $spy #thesyndicate https://t.co/E3OzSG9oeu
$MULN down to 6 cents… But don’t worry folks, the BAM Model is long. I’m sure that’ll fix it… @BAMinvestor https://t.co/OtMMvIcXyC
