The DOW hit a record high increasing 1200 points in one day blowing the tariff fears all to hell. Trump hating doomsayers who thought Bidens economy was wonderful with 9% inflation and 5.00 dollar gas now look like idiots.

I watched as we crossed the 50,000 mark with delight.

My question is: what precipitated the big jump? I know earnings are strong, but something specific triggered a big rally like that.

IMHO it was that the stock market re-calibrated from being too heavily invested in AI & software to more of a balanced portfolio, and people just bought the dip along with short-sellers covering their down bets...

Still seems quite sudden. But not complaining.

Tech sector AI semiconductors and Trumps econiomic policies

We’ve known that Trump’s economic policies were excellent all along. All of a sudden people woke up one day?

Anyhoo…..it’s all good!

(of course, the libtards are upset.)

The NASDAQ was up bigtime yesterday.

Anyway, the topic is about the DOW.

So the DOW reached record highs, earnings on great - and you’re looking for a negative to focus on?

You must be a leftist. If Trump cured cancer, you’d jump in and say but he hasn’t cured MS.

You're cherry picking the data. The economy is thriving under Trump and the tax cuts haven't kicked in yet

I'm not critiquing the economy, I'm surmising why the DOW is up big, while the NASDAQ is down slightly.

We agree that 2026 should be a good year for the economy, especially after Kevin Warsh takes over the Fed.

OMG. I'm a realist, a technician, a numbers guy. I don't drink Trump's KoolAde.
You are correct that the DOW is up on great earnings.
I'm trying to explain why the NASDAQ is down for January. A fact. It will get back to rally mode eventually, no worries.

Read post #10 again, until you understand it. A one month chart trend means more than a one day short-covering rally.

So in youre mind good is bad and bad is good. Thats the democrat mind that makes excuses for the Biden disaster and complin about Trumps success. Perhaps democrats should stop shutting done the government. Tax cuts kick in next month lets see what happens fir the rest of the year
