How many days does the Market

[Harpy Eagle]

have to be basically stagnant before it is more than just a "bump in the road" or a correction?

In the first 340 days of the current Admin the DJI grew at a 24.81% rate, which is not great but not bad at all.

On the 340th day of his term Trump signed his first (and only) major legislation.

In the 115 days since then the DJI has grown at a 1.20% rate, and is down for the year.

In those 115 days there has never been more than 3 days in a row where the DJI went up.

The numbers for the NASDAQ, S&P and Russell are all similar.

This is generally known as a period of consolidation, in which the market regroups, treads water, and decides where it wants to go from here.

Nothing unusual about this in the least, especially after a large run-up.

 

[Mac1958]

Here's a typical period of consolidation, this one seven months, from late December 2014 into July 2015:

Let's understand that this rate of return will double your money in just over 3 years 4 months...

Yep, that would have been great. I was very happy with that rate of growth...the 1.20% not as much

I think folks are waiting to see if a protectionist trade shoe drops, or if Trump works out "a deal" that leaves things as they are. And tells the Trumpbots he's a Yuuuge Winner and without them they'd be nothings.

You don't really expect 24% growth from the market, do you?

of course not, but I do expect better than 1.2

Well, there are periods in which the market grows slowly, or not at all, or drops.

Surely you know that.

Is this a serious thread?

No...How could it be. It's just an attempt to bash The Donald for taking
the Stock Market from 18,000 to 26,000 in less than a year. They gotta
cover up that growth.

The market is at 24,465 not 26,000, and it started at 19,827...do try and get your numbers correct.

In the first 474 days of the Trump term the market has a rate of change of 23.38%.

During the first 474 days of the previous Admin the market had a rate of change of 39.85%.

I do not know about you, but I like the second number better.

I do know that, the question was how long does it have to go on before people will acknowledge it is happening.

Did that confuse you?

No, because I provided an example of "consolidation" in post 3, and it didn't appear to help.

Since this is my profession, I thought I could provide some clarity.

Looks like that wasn't the goal of the thread.

Now run along and play...

It's a whiny thread of someone desperate to find something, anything really, to bitch about besides loony conspiracy theories.

Ahh, poor little Mac missed the point of the thread and now he is sad...

I do not want to cover up growth, I love growth..I want more growth and it is my personal opinion that there is more going on that a routine consolidation.

It is not coincidence that the market is lower today than the day that Trump announced his first of many tariffs.

You folks sure are touchy.
