Why have Republicans stopped bragging about the stock market?

[Rightguide]

Thanks for the breaking news. Who are you, Louis Rukeyser?

Nope, Rightguide...the most informed poster at any given time. We know you're sad.

I’m gonna bet the stock market hits 30,000 on Trump’s re election if not before then.

Regardless of what reality is polls going into the election are going to show whoever the Democrat candidate is leading. The stock market will tank before the election on fears of whichever socialist getting into office.

Snip:


Right before Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, President Trump proclaimed:

“It’ll be fantastic for the middle-income people and for jobs, most of all ... I think we could go to 4%, 5% or even 6% [GDP growth], ultimately. We are back. We are really going to start to rock.”

A year later, it’s very clear that the tax cuts boosted gross domestic product and jobs a bit — and just for one year. Its effects are fading as U.S. GDP growth appears likely to weaken in 2019. The only thing that “rocked” were corporate profits and the stock market. And we’re facing trillion-dollar deficits as far as the eye can see.

Snip:

Buyback bonanza
So where is all that money going? Where else? Share buybacks, which hit a record $1.1 trillion in 2018. Companies actually spent more on buybacks than on capital investments in 2018’s first half, and remember, capex weakened as the year went on. Buybacks shrink the number of shares, boosting earnings per share and eventually, the stock price. That helps all shareholders, of course, but especially corporate executives, more than half of whose total compensation is in stock.

And what happened to all the trillions of dollars the president promised corporations would bring back to the U.S.A. from overseas? That, too, has turned out to be a bust — the amount dropped 50% in the third quarter after starting out strong in the first half of 2018. See a pattern here?

I haven’t seen a poll yet that was accurate. Personally, I think they’re a bunch of BS. They certainly were wrong in 2016 trying to downplay him winning.

It'll be a combination of push polling, deliberately inaccurate modeling and the intimidation of Trump supporters by the actually fascistic left.

They always do that but in this case it backfired on them because it's suppress the vote for Clinton because people didn't think they needed to bother after all there was a 95% chance she was going to win.

True enough.

That almost sounds like a symptom of erectile dysfunction. You know, I was curious to see which states had the highest ED. Strangely, they’re almost entirely Left leaning states.

The market was near all time highs at like 26,800ish. The market plants its feet with profit-taking and so with three days of minor retrenchment so small that it wasn't even actually worth reporting on. The only reason they did is that they were hoping to cause enough small investors to panic to tane the market strictly so they can have something to blame on Trump.. the assholes in the so-called media were trying to cause Market Panic. It didn't work. Really took the bait on those idiotic news stories and gloated about a 3-day stock market decline.

Just it was absolutely nothing to cause a market decline the market itself ignored those idiots trying to cause a market panic and the market pushed through the previous high.

The whole cycle of stock market reporting trying to create or destroy markets is pretty stupid. They did the opposite during the Obama years every time it went up 12 points they were saying things like the market is up today for the fourth straight day in heavy trading. As if 12 points means anything. It's not even a blip on a rounding error.

Those so-called reporters aren't nearly as powerful as they fantasize that they are. There is so much money tied up in institutional investors as well as being traded by algorithms that don't read the papers, and are incapable of irrational panic.

The real question here is why are Democrats afraid of a soaring stock market?

Because they just spent eight years during the malaise of the Obama economy telling us that that was The New Normal.

Is Obama back to taking credit for the current stock market highs yet?

Can you imagine how bad that entire economy would have been if not for 80 BILLION a month in cake money and fracking hadn't taken off?

I imagine a bad stock market is good for Democrats in some sick, twisted way. In their fucked up minds, it’s redistribution of wealth.

Why has Rory lost all interest in the stock market?

I would think he would be jubilant today, the DJIA was DOWN at the close of trading almost 24 points!!

Down 23.53 points to close at only 27,335.63.

Is he hiding because in midday trading it hit yet another new record high? Surely closing down for the day makes up for that?

The Dow is up barely over 9,000 points during the doldrums of the Trump economy. That's barely one third of the entire value of the market and it took nearly three whole years since Hillary's ignominious defeat to "accomplish" that piddling feat.

Investors thst did not listen to that wise, Nobel prize recipient in economics Paul "The Hack" Kugman's economic advice earned less than 50% on their money at merely 49%

There is a lot for our resident economic guru, Rory to celebrate. Why lose all interest now?

Don’t forget we’re in the middle of a “trade war”

Hi everyone. How are you today?

 

[RoryN]

Are "Republicans" (AKA everyone not Rory) still bragging about "the stock market?"

Not today so far, for some reason, AJ who never posts in my threads.
