Ok, Libs: Let's, Once Again, Look at the Stock Market Before and After Trump

[Third Party]

Let's look at what has happened since the start of Trump's second year in office, once the romance wore off...in 560 since then this is what the markets have done.


The NASDAQ has grown 8.51%.

The DJI has shrunk by 1.35%

The S&P has grown 1.23%

The SmallCap 2000 has shrunk 6.91%.

Just wait-that's how the market works, young grasshopper.

Anyone with internet access can confirm in a minute or two that Trump did not "inherit a booming stock market"--rather, the stock market took off just days after Trump was elected, and that before then it was rising at a much slower rate under Obama. Starting just days after election day in 2016, the stock market has risen by a whopping 7,385 points, from 18,332 on election day to 25,717 today--in just 2 years and 9 months. In contrast, from December 2013 until election day 2016 under Obama, the stock market rose from 16,576 to 18,332, an increase of only 1,756 points--in 2 years and 11 months. 7,385 in 33 months under Trump vs. 1,756 points in 35 months under Obama. So the stock market's rise under Trump has been more than triple what it was in Obama's last 3 years. Here are the yearly numbers:

Today (8/5/19) -- 25,717

December 2018 -- 23,327

December 2017 -- 24,719

January 2017 -- 19,827

November 9, 2016 -- 18,589

November 2, 2016 -- 18,332

December 2015 -- 17,425

December 2014 -- 17,823

December 2013 -- 16,576

Yet, every time there has been a dip in the stock market under Trump, liberals have run to post threads citing the dip as "proof" that Trump's economic policies are not working! But, of course, when the stock market has quickly recovered after these dips and has continued to rise, the liberals fall silent.

The deregulation crony oversight lobbyists corporation party is on!! Where do you think the bubble of corruption is this time?

What you are doing is playing with numbers. You conveniently forget that Obama took office in Jan 2009. Trump took office in January 2017.

Since Trump took office, the stock market has gone up 26%. These are the growth rates of the stock market under other Presidents.

Barack Obama 8 years ended 19,827 + 149 percent
George W. Bush 8 years ended 7,949 - 25 percent
Bill Clinton 8 years ended 10,578 + 227 percent
George H.W. Bush 4 years ended 3,242 + 45 percent
Ronald Reagan 8 years ended 2,235 + 135 percent

How Trump, Obama compare on the stock market

Also the stock market rise can occur for a reason that has nothing to do with the economy or can be bad for Americans. If the Fed announced it was going to go to zero interest rates, the market would explode. Yet the reason for that would not be good for Americans as it usually signals a struggling economy or a economy that is expected to weaken. If a company lays off workers, the stock price of the company could go up.

And you're ignoring the fact that there was a huge rise in the stock market in the days after Trump was elected. It surely had nothing to do with Obama. It was excitement in the market that Hillary was not going to be president.

No, his numbers are very accurate. You just want to attribute a huge rise that happened while Obama was packing his bags and putting them in the car and ignore the real reason it happened.

If you wish to attribute Obama's numbers to the day Obama got elected like we're doing with Trump, you're welcome to. But since that would not help your narrative, you're pretending like it didn't happen.

Name 1 official act that Trump took between the time he was elected and the time that Trump took office. The stock market did not go up from November to January due to Trump. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Name 1 official act that Trump took between the time he was elected and the time that Trump took office.

scratch his ass, sniff his finger, ride a Democrat market, and take credit for it,

Name one "official act" that Obama took in the same time frame.

I can name one. HIS HILLARY LOST.

Hell name one "official act" that Obama took that had a positive effect on the economy? All he did was double food stamp participation and doubled the national debt with his 10% unemployment. Liberals so love to mention that he FINALLY got unemployment down to what GWB got it down to a year before he left office.

And for this they act like he's is a fucking messiah.

The stock was at a record high when Trump took office.......

Thats because he was elected. His election was what sent the stocks high

Dow closes higher after China blinks
Dow closes higher after China blinks - CNN

New York (CNN Business)The Dow and the broader US stock market rebounded Tuesday, driven by optimism that currency tensions between the United States and China would ease. The Dow (INDU) finished up 312 points, or 1.2%, while the S&P 500 (SPX) closed 1.3% higher. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP), which was hit worst in Monday's selloff, closed up 1.4%......

........Things got worse on Monday evening when the United States, for the first time in years, labeled China a currency manipulator. But now markets are calming down.....

ME: Blam!! Trump labelled the fucker "a currency manipulator" and the bastards backed down. Trump wins again.

Dead Cat Bounce....

Recession is coming, dummy.

Okay, let's do this correctly. Let's annualize Trump's returns. We'll use the ETF SPY as a proxy for the S&P 500:

SPY price on Trump's first day in office: $226.91
SPY price as of this morning: $288.16
Annualized Return: 9.652%

SPY price on Obama's first day in office: $81.57
SPY price on Obama's last day in office: $227.53
Annualized Return: 13.676%

So what is the point of all this, exactly?

The point is, people like you have been totally cool with Trump's Racism, Concentration camps, and generally awful behavior, spewing nonsense that "both sides are just as bad", so long as the Stock Market was doing well.

Now that people are goign to start seeing negative numbers on their returns, maybe not so much.

 

[caddo kid]

The stock was at a record high when Trump took office. Not booming enough though. We needed another bubble

Sigh. . . . Just sigh. . . . Of course, the market was at a "record" when Trump took office--because it began to rise dramatically just days after he was elected. The point is that the market has risen much more rapidly under Trump than it did under Obama. The market's increase has been three times better under Trump than under Obama.

That is an absolutely false claim; actually that is a lie.

During Obama's tenure the DJIA was up 148% = 18.5% a year, on average.

You really need to stop with the lying stuff. That is the same shit Trump does & it's rubbing off on you.

That's because you're not very bright.
Once Trump got elected, businesses immediately began planning for expansion, increasing their inventories.
