Why have Republicans stopped bragging about the stock market?

That would be 2008. So yeah, he's succeeded in undoing Obama's legacy. We're back to Dubya.

I dunno we can say that......yet!

But, the Dow has been broadly continuing along the trajectory set during the Obama years, whilst Trump claims success for that.

The next 2 years will be the tell.

Woof!
 
Personally:

October down $5,000
November up $900
December down $8,000

2018 down about $7,000 total.

Almost back to Jan '17 levels. Bump flattened.



Thanks Donnie.

Dumbass.

Goddamned "Helicopter" Ben Bernanke and, next, Janet Yellen left interest rates far too low for far, far too long.

It was inexcusably irresponsible.

Both of 'em were playing politics and kowtowing to their puppet-master (Obama). Both of 'em got out of Dodge— dumping the mess in the incoming Administration's lap. Leaving rates so low for so long inflated the stock market.


In stark contrast, Jerome Powell, is doing the right thing (though rates are still too low in relation to the rate of inflation).

Dow Jones plunges after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin comments on banks

You have to make a pretty stupid comment to drop the markets this much.

I think investors are starting to realize just how bad Trump and his administration are. The kind of sustained chaos that Trump wants is not a friend to the market. It looks like their patience has worn out.

They have realized he is a con.
 
It just dropped below 22,000. Wow.

I'm sure it will bounce back a bit, but holy shit.

I believe it's typical for it to take time for the average American to realize that trickle down tax cuts only fuck them.. seems this realization is being accelerated this time.

I'm sure botanydummy or one of the other idiots will try to spin how the cuts benefit everyone and not just the top percent and corporations.
 
"But the reason our stock market is so successful is because of me. I've always been great with money..." - Trump, November 2017

Today: −653.17 (2.91%). :rolleyes:

You mean the people who are already paying almost all the taxes?

Well DUH.

No....tax cuts only benefit tax payers. Pretty simple.

So Rory doesn't understand how stock markets work either.....not at all shocked.

Mexico will pay for it ... or so I heard.
 

Shit - you just ruined the resident Trump apologist's Christmas. :D

And I'll repeat for all the dummy Trumpers: this thread isn't about how the stock market works (obviously). Big fat hint is in the title. Happy Holidays! :rose:

The stock market just gifted us with its worst Christmas Eve plunge in history - MarketWatch

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-sp-500-is-on-the-verge-of-tumbling-by-the-most-it-has-ever-fallen-on-christmas-eve-2018-12-24

As I said last week, there were nine trading days left in the year. With successive days of 500 point losses we could be back to where things started two years ago.

That is looking even more likely. We're only 2,000 point away from where Obama's stunning stock market rise was handed over to the con artist, and there are four trading days remaining.

People are cutting their losses. Save what they can.
