Is It Trump's Stock Market Yet?

[togor]

It sure was last summer, when he couldn't tweet about it often enough.

Actually there is a fair case to be made that between his tariff actions and bashing of select stocks via Twitter, POTUS is dabbling heavily in the market, with other people's money! Personally I'm OK with a correction as I've felt stocks were overvalued for some time due to the long Obama bull market. But stocks are also a leading indicator. Let's see where we are in a month or two or three.

On top of the world baby , on top of the world !

The market is bullish because the feds kept the interest rate artificially low in order to be able to pay the interest on the national debt. Yeah, I'll lay that at Obama's feet, he created more debt than all the other administrations combined.

[togor]

pcox you forgot that you no longer care about the debt or the budget deficit now that Obama has been replaced by this other guy.

[pcox]

How do you know what I care about?

[Roadkingtrax]

Probably never will be based on his excessive need for foreign investors.

I'll rephrase....the Republican leadership and Trump have suggested to those who follow them that deficits are no longer important, say when cutting taxes or spending on the military, except when they are, say when cutting Medicare. How much of that resonates with you personally--you're right, you haven't said. But how Trump, Ryan, etc. would like you to see it is clear. That's what I was speaking to.

The same way he knows what Trump is thinking just from seeing him on TV. The same way he knows that Republicans are the reason Clevelands faggot prostitutes are making money. The same way that he knows Trump was elected because Putin rigged the election. Trump is a criminal that colluded with the Russians. HEADLINE, Mueller says Trump is not being investigated for a crime!. That has to be a outright lie from Mueller because torot says he is and torot knows everything!

Good morning, Red.

Nobody can know what Trump is thinking inside that fevered cantaloupe of his, but I am willing to attempt a predictive model, because, well, why not. If I'm right I'm right, and if I'm wrong I'm wrong, right there where you can see it. I predicted the DACAs were screwed long ago, and they are. As for Mueller, he's just doing his job. Manafort is clearly dirty, as was Flynn, and Trump is still under scrutiny for possible obstruction of justice, with Mueller pointing to a political remedy as opposed to a criminal one. It's always entertaining to watch you move the goal posts around regarding expectations for the Mueller investigation.

Exactly and you have yet to be right about anything to do with politics. You have predicted all kinds of things about Trump and now you are 0 out of 1,000 tries.

But this is about the stock market and it's lousy showing during Trump's term. When Obama was elected in Nov, 2008 the country was in what he called the "Bush depression," and the Dow was 8943. In his first term he fixed the Bush depression and the Dow jumped 3,800 points to 12,815. In his second term he fixed the military, the deficit, the healthcare system and both the Iran and No. Korean problem and the Dow skyrocketed 5,000 points to 17,788 when that moron Trump was elected and the Dow has dropped how much??? Obama and your BFF Hillary claimed the Dow would drop by 6,000 points if he was elected. Well today the dow (after record losses in March) stands at 24,490, up a measly 6,700 in the 16 months since the election.

I'm sure you are hoping and praying for the dow to crash to the 9,000 point and the economy shrink by 50% (just like you are praying more kids to die in school shootings). That is your wet dream but sorry Charlie, if Trump could just get a little help from Congress and the Dow were to continue at a mere 50% of the increase in the last year, by the time Trump leaves office the Dow will be looking at a 45,000 to 50,000 level. And is this Trump's market? Hell yes! Will there be ups and downs? Yes there always are. Could a nuclear war in the Mideast change things? Of course. Could a No. Korean nuclear attack anywhere on the earth screw things up? Of course. Have you ever been right about anything? Hell no!

I remember well how the Dow Jones Industrial Avg crashed in 2008 when our muslim in chief got placed into office and how it took off when Trump got elected.

Glad I got in while the getting was good in 2008. In my lifetime, not likely to ever again see such a good run. Nothing but good for anyone who got in. May bottom tomorrow for all I know. Chicken Little advisors may just be right. But, for the last 10 years they've been wrong. Have to just sit tight and see what happens. One thing is for sure. If you are not in it, you can't make any money with it. And it has been a sure fire money maker for the last ten years. Really made the difference for my retirement. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

[togor]

Well Red there are the predictions that I actually make, which are close to non-existent on this forum because I'm not stupid, and there are the ones that you claim I make which are too numerous to count. So in the future you may need to clarify type of prediction, so that your readers understand if you're referring to things I actually said, or to things that you say I said which may or may not have actual bearing on actual things I said but are more likely than not pure products of your fevered imagination and nothing close to something I said much less ever would say.

Two things I did predict are that DACAs will get screwed by Trump, and that a lack of divestment/disclosure is going to create headaches for Trump while in office. On Russia stuff I have striven to resist temptation to get ahead of the story, but in moments of weakness I did allow that I thought there was more to the story than the blanket denials coming out of the DC and NY Trump Tower offices, and on that I appear right. Tell me Manafort is clean. Go ahead, say it.

[RED]

No, Manafort is a jerk that probably broke laws over his activity in the Ukraine 10 years befor he ever met Trump.. What has that to do with Russia, Trump, or the election? Why is Mueller even looking at that? Mueller just got his first huge conviction and sentence... some dude got 30 days in the pen for (again) stuff he did in the Ukraine.

Oh, I get it anybody that has ever committed a crime anywhere and ever worked for Trump is proof Trump is a criminal. You are freaking pathetic. The entire Mueller investigation is a illegal witch hunt Headed by Obama appointees that are still in the Government.
