Why have Republicans stopped bragging about the stock market?

The real problem is that DonOld CANNOT back off from these tariffs - because that idiot promised the tariffs would be the golden panacea for all of America’s woes…





We. Told. Them. So.

Enjoy the upcoming recession...we'll be in one too!!! lol

U.S. stocks are being trounced by Europe as Trump retreats from Ukraine, focuses on ‘America First’

Shares of the STOXX Europe Total Market Aerospace & Defense Index finished 7.7% higher on Monday at a record $2,253.81, according to Dow Jones Market Data. It has gained 30.3% so far this year. The broader STOXX 600 index rose 10.9% to its own record close Monday.

In the U.S., the S&P 500 index tumbled 1.8%, logging its worst drop in a month, as investors focused on growth concerns and Trump’s threats of additional tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China.

Billionaire hedge fund manager warns of 'economic heart attack' for US economy

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio said on a recent podcast that the U.S. could be headed towards a future "economic heart attack" without government action.

He told Bloomberg’s "Odd Lots" podcast that he wanted to inform policymakers that "there’s a solution here" that’s "doable" to address the government deficit and an impending debt crisis.

"You can lower that deficit to go to 3% of GDP," he explained to the hosts Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway. "Trump’s tax cuts come in, the projected deficit will be about 7.5% of GDP, and you have to cut that to about 3% of GDP because that’ll mean that debts won’t rise relative to incomes, and it will greatly improve the supply and demand."

They were so proud. Trumpy was taking credit for it, and they followed suit.

What changed?



Hee hee!

How's your 401k?

 

[Politruk]

Does the stock market really matter to non-investors? It is not a reliable gauge of economic health, is it?

How's your 401k?

View attachment 2507386

Hello Rotadom, the current drop is about 3% and we are still a little ways from a correction...which is usually a drop of 10 to 20 percent. I fully expect a correction this year as the P/E ratios are double of what the average P/E ratios typically run (17 versus 30+). With that said, if you have any cash in a money market keep it there as there may be some real buys in the next 6 months.

He doesn’t care about the “buy and hold” investor, the 401k holder.

He and his buddies thrive on fluctuation. They have the money and expertise to buy and sell on the waves the chaos causes.

If it was news impacting individual issues, there would be insider trading constraints. No such monitoring, no controls available when the entire market moves. Eventually there will be adjustments and regular people with jobs will pay the price.

Frankly, I don’t mind that he wants to fix some things, but these radical shifts in policy without any semblance of a plan is certainly going to make anything good, less likely.

Unlike many, I want him to succeed at several things, but the hate and division, the need to micro manage social policy and the complete lack of any plan makes him impossible to support. Conservatives can do better and as soon as they realize his voice, his spitball no longer resonate with voters, they will drop him like a hot rock. I’m just hoping some sensibility returns before too much damage is done.

The stock market is just another domino that is going to tumble. Tariffs. Inflation. Lower consumer purchasing power. Allies that are now potential adversaries. Adversaries that are now acceptable. And remember, don't look at the stock market. The arsonist at the fire.

Down over 1100 and still dropping.

Who could have anticipated that the markets detest chaos?

Certainly the MAGAts were unaware of this.

An economy that added jobs, rising stock market, dropping interest rates... gone thanks to January 20, 2025. Buckley up. The lunatics are running the place.

Can't imagine that. Nope. Notta. The markets dropping like a fat kid on a see saw. Or someone with a bmi of 47.

Democrats are better for the stock market. It performs better when there is a democratic administration than a republican one and so does the overall economy.
