Why do these keep rising under Trump? How many news highs have been hit? Those hoping for a recession by 2020 are in for a rude awakening.

One thing is for certain...if one of the leftist kooks gets elected, we will head quickly into a recession which they will undoubtedly blame on Trump.

dude that would be the target and the goal.

Obama economy. Again. Previous two dips were Trump economy.

 

[SAYIT]

What??? No recognition of the fact that at 125 months this is America's longest economic expansion ever?

Sure, I will be happy to give Trump credit for the 25% of that 125 months as long as you give Obama credit for the other 75%... you up for that?

Oh, so now you no longer demean our economy as long as The Big "O" gets credit?

BTW, I gave nor do I give any one guy credit for our economy. Contrary to what you have been told, we did build this.

Yanno, our investment markets are not the same as our economy - which has also done well the last 3 years - but they are harbingers of investor belief in our economic future.

Clearly those who bet with their often hard-earned cash are putting their money on Trump 2020.

Yes, that is a good thing. Those with money will push for Trump. Truly anyone with money in the market or who has a job should be pushing for Trump.

It should be noted that over half of American adults are investors but many others - some who rarely if ever participate - are also prospering thanks to our economy. BTW, Moody's latest models show a Trump landslide in 2020.

I disagree. The wealth gap continues to widen. Most Americans are not benefiting from the high stock and real estate market, nor the low interest rates. BTW- it’s not Trumps fault. Most of the blame is due to poor monetary policy.

no, I do not give a fuck who gets credit at all, that is a fools game. I just wanted to see what you were willing to do.

Damn, that might be the smartest thing you have ever posted...where have you been hiding that for so long?

Though I did notice you did not complain about the OP giving Trump credit...

It is very nice to see them rising finally after 600 plus days of stagnation.

Shame it took the Fed lowering the rates even more for this to happen. It shows the underlying weakness to our economy.

It would be nice to top 2014 when there was 38 record highs in one year.

To reach 38 record highs, we would need to be very low again. Is it harder to double your money if you have 1 penny or 10,000 dollars?

Any financial advisor worth his/her salt will advise their clients to move into much more conservative vehicles if a Democrat gets elected. That is all you need to know. The markets will NEVER recover from a Warren presidency if she is able to get the things she is proposing.

No. Record highs are all time highs. The market dropping and recovering doesn't equal a record high.

It actually makes it harder to get to an all time high as you first have to make up all the lost value.

Your logic is faulty. Using this 10,000 you used...is it easier to get to 20,000 starting at the 10,000 or starting at the penny?

When the markets went very low they could not start setting new highs till they got back to where they started from....sort of like if you started with 10,000 and then lost it.

I agree with you about Warren and her winning the White House

LOL. Warren loves Wall Street and they love her. You both got duped by right wing talking points. She is a clone of O. We heard this same bull shit when he got elected, but Wall Street knew O was one of them.

Yes, my analogy was a poor one. Do you believe the markets would be where they are today if Hillary had been elected?

Wall Street was not really that fond of Obama. The markets went up in spite of him, not because of him

 

[SAYIT]

That the Fed's action was prompted by their having - as 1 Fed Prez noted - "overdone" the increases in 2108? That we are sailing into a global economic slowdown headwind which has hurt US exports? That you invariably find reasons to whine about our winning with Trump as POTUS.

Even with the rise in 2018 we we still at historically low rates, that those tiny jumps in 2018 hurt the economy is a concern to anyone with a brain...so you are just SOL

You can always find something to whine about, Chicken Little, but you clearly believe 2019's three, 1/4 point cuts signaled time to panic. It should be noted that after being no more that 1/2% for all of Obama's admin, the fed began increasing rates virtually on the day Trump was elected, making the last 3 yrs of our expansion that much more difficult and impressive. Meanwhile inflation has remained steady and under 2%.

Tell me … were you concerned that near 0% rates fueled our economy during the Obama years?

why are my investments overall around the same as a year ago?

You are in bad investments. My portfolio has risen 11% over the last year.

My analogy is 100% spot on. When a market loses value it has to first make up that value before it can start to hit new highs.

And yes, I think it would be about the same with Hillary. We were stagnant the last 600 plus days due to Trump's stupid ass trade war, I do not think that Hillary would have started such a thing. The split congress (or perhaps the GOP would have held the House had she won) would have stopped her from passing any really stupid new laws

Yes, I was. The rates should have started to go back up by 2014 at the latest.

The rates have been historically low for far too long.

LOL. Where did he go immediately after leaving the WH? Wall Street of course, to make a quick buck. I don’t suppose your corporate news sources told you, but I will. You needn’t thank me.

Tip: watch Blackstone. Solid stock that pays dividends. I bought 3 weeks go and sold yesterday for a 13.7% gain.

I openly admit I fucked up. I sold all my mutual funds assuming the Deep State would undermine the stock market after President Trump won. Devastating. Most was in 401Ks so tax free until withdrawal. 50% appreciation vs 1% or so with CDs sucks, and yet the illiterate Connecticut Revenue morons audited me and it has been almost a year since I provided the info to prove they are wrong and still no answer. Will the DOW go higher if President Trump wins in another landslide? Most likely.

another landslide? He did not win in a landslide in the first election

Really? 304 to 227? That's an asswhippin if I ever saw one.

Then you have never seen one I guess. One of the smallest margins of victory in the EC in our history, out of 56 elections, only 10 have had a smaller margin of victory.
