Con artist has best Republican stock market gains

[someoneyouknow]

So far, in his first year in power, the con artist has ridden the coattails of his predecessor when it comes to the stock market increase. Thus far, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 22.9%. This is the best showing among Republican presidents.

However, you'll note the wording. Republican presidents. Unfortunately for the con artist, former president Obama has bested him in that arena, just as he bested the con artist in the amount of people who attended the first inauguration. At the same time in his presidency, the stock market had soared 31.73% under Obama.

Even worse news for the con artist, he's fourth in the list of stock market rises in the first year of a presidency, behind three other Democratic presidents.

Poor con artist. He can't catch a break. Fewer votes than Hillary Clinton, fewer people at his inauguration than Obama, and a smaller stock market rise, most of which has come from his predecessor.

That's what Repugs are good for...screwing up everything and taking credit from the hard work of Democrats.

And their dittoheads fall for it...EVERYTIME!!

Typical response of the uneducated. Can't refute the facts so the only thing left is name calling.

There's one thing to name call AND have facts to back your ass up, but there is another to just call someone a name because they have lost an argument.

That's what WRONGguide did.

People are bold here, they think they can talk to you like a dog without consequences, let them try that on the streets and their nose would get busted.

Now I can see how people believe that he is vettemen. He asks the same way. Throwing out insults when he is backed to the corner. He just couldn't help it.

A battle of wits never really includes you anyway.

Then you should also be gloating about the military victories that those coattails laid the groundwork for as well as the Clinton victory that those coattails drug into the White House (not to mention the Olympics coming to Chicago). Those coattails also ruled by pen and phone, so they get credit for all of the rollbacks of regulations. Those coattails also get the credit for ending the coattail mandate that forced the middle class to purchase healthcare that they could not afford. And when people have more money in their pockets come February, you can bet, bet the estate on it, that they will be thanking President Coattails for laying the groundwork for their newfound prosperity.

Correct. It is not a felony, just a stupid assumption. The entire article is nothing but a partisan exercise in the fallacy of post hoc ergo propter hoc. It gives you words (opinion) and charts and if you observe carefully, the words are not born out by the charts. The words are telling you. "Here's how you should interpret the charts, because you don't know enough to understand them."

Wrong. The percentage of stock market growth at this point and time in the two presidencies are irrefutable facts.

The right wants to tout the "achievement" of Donald Trump, and ignore that he's under performing compared to the guy they love to hate.

Americans won't see the change to their tax returns until spring 2019 — when they file taxes for 2018. So, no immediate effect -- and by then, after the midterms, it'll be too late to vote out the buggers who robbed them.

Meanwhile, Confusion and chaos ahead as new tax rules take effect. Recall the old Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times." Here we are -- cursed.

I'm getting extremely nervous about the market. It seems artificially high and I doubt it will survive 'Rump. I see '08 (or worse) coming again sooner than later, just like Shrub led us into. I said long ago that I felt it would take 20 years to undo Shrub's damage and here we are, just shy of that 20 year mark.

I just hope I can time it right to hit the crest of the bubble.

So under which president did the market have the highest percentage first year gain if not Obama?

Trump is claiming "unprecedented growth" of the stock market during his first year.
What's your evidence that supports that claim?

lol

Cherry picking at its finest.

Even funnier. So when you pull your money out of the market where are you going to put it?

Fund it's in allows conversion to an annuity. Fixed interest with a slight annual gain. Won't rise (or fall) with the markets.

So, you've not moved it at the same time that you're doing the "Chicken Little?"

It just hit me!
To our Progressive colleagues, when people start seeing more money in their paychecks, remind them that the extra money they are spending is going to China! This is Trump-China collusion! The deal was worked out on his Golf course with the President of China! WE'VE BEEN HAD!!!

I heard this was where all the smart people discuss their portfolios.

Let me get a pen.
So i can jam it in my neck.

No, you have it wrong. The place to discuss portfolios is in that white house down in Washington. That's where the smart person said: “The only reason the stock market is where it is, is because you get free money.”

And then turns around and gives out more free money.

Of course this is the same person who said the recovery was a mirage, the stock market rise was artificial, and that if you raise interest rates, even a little, the market will come crashing down.

You are cherry picking. If you want to be George Washington, take an axe to it.

Remember when Than Negro President was inaugurated and you immediately claimed to have pulled all of your money out of the stock market and invested it in gold (and Glenn Beck's "freedom seeds") because Armageddon was nigh?

....and then 6 years later when the price of gold was in the toilet you told us you never actually got around to selling your mutual funds, that your savvy investment strategery made you tremendous profits? Enough profit so you wouldn't have to work anymore unloading semi trailers in the bitter cold (but you still do).

Your poor squaw will still have to work a few more years though, until you qualify for Medicare. Someone's gotta carry insurance in your teepee.
