Have You Seen The DOW?

[ElmerMudd]

Hardly shocking, given that Trump has pressing business to take care of and that markets go up and down and up and down and up and down.
Your searing, burning, irrational hatred for Trump once again reveals what a silly, unserious person you are, reacting to every single day's news instead of letting things breathe and realizing that, for instance, under Trump the DOW has skyrocketed.
Oh, no. You must not report that! That might actually give him credit!

Too phucking funny.
Feeble Commie ...

It ky rocketed just as much under Biden. There is very little difference in the economy that Trump inherited in January 2025.
Rich are doing better and those who live pay check to pay check are struggling.

Oh brother. WRONG. Next. I'm not going to start debating with a newbie like I'm in 1st grade. You coming at me with that 1st grade bullshit spin about the GOP being for the working class. I think anyone who's not a moron sees that's a lie.

36% agree with you dummy.

Even guys who love Trump said I need to give it another year or two. Because it's going HORRIBLY right now.

But you've proven you'll defend anything he does just like yo guys did Bush. I remember.

Its short term the economy is strong. This is the time to buy and reinvest dividends. Dont sell and you lose nothing. Stop whining about it

Someone farts they panic.

Oh well.

Gambling problem? Think they have a help line to call.

Boy you sure don't mind it when Republicans waste our tax dollars do ya?

3 F 15 fighter jets shot down by "friendly fire" = $300 million and that doesn't count the ammunition on them.

Trump: US has ‘unlimited’ munitions to fight wars ‘forever’​

Yes and the Trump's get 10% kickback.

Biden had 20 LLC's with $20 million dollars. OMG clutch your pearls.

Reading the stupid posts of a committed Leftist who doesn't have a clue how the real world works.

 

[BackAgain]

Don't you ever get tired of being humiliated by these ridiculous threads two days after you post them?

Clearly, he doesn’t mind being obviously unserious and generally wrong in the way he “thinks.”

 

[Lockback]

He really doesn't have a clue. He's just like a Xerox machine, set up to churn out threads that bash Trump. And that's it. It's all he's got.
Not an original thought. Just spinning hate from a Far Left perspective.

I've been on this site forever and I'm actually considering blocking all the Notsees on this site and you'd be one of them.

Of course I would be.
Because I take you on. I embarrass you. I don't let you get away with your usual line of crap.
I'm certainly not the only one. Dozens here mock you.
So go ahead and silence me, pal. I couldn't care less. You're a Far Left wack job. I'm a normal American. Because you're so warped, you think a normal American is a Nazi. That shows how twisted you are.

Summary of economic/financial effects since US & Israeli strikes on Iran (about 5–6 days ago).

Key near-term market moves

• Oil: Brent and WTI jumped (risk premium on supply via Strait of Hormuz), boosting energy stocks and oil-exporter revenues.
• Safe havens: Gold and Bitcoin rose; sovereign bond yields initially fell (flight-to-safety) then drifted as risk sentiment oscillated.
• Equities: Global stocks were volatile — defense and energy sectors outperformed; travel, leisure, and some cyclical sectors underperformed.
• FX: U.S. dollar strength at times; regional currencies (oil importers) weakened on oil concerns.
• Credit: Risk premia widened briefly for emerging-market sovereign and corporate debt; insurance/reinsurance costs for regional exposure ticked up.

Transmission channels (how effects occur)
1. Oil supply risk → higher oil prices → higher input costs, inflation pressure, terms-of-trade shifts.
2. Risk-off sentiment → lower risky-asset appetite → equity volatility, higher credit spreads.
3. Safe-haven flows → stronger gold, Treasuries (initially), and FX moves.
4. Trade/ship-routing disruption fears → higher shipping/insurance costs and supply-chain stress for some goods.

Winners

• Global oil & gas producers and energy-service companies (short term revenue/price boost).
• Defense and aerospace firms (contract expectations, stock inflows).
• Commodity holders and safe-haven assets (gold, some sovereign bonds, select FX).
• Oil-exporting countries and companies benefiting from higher crude prices.

Losers

• Airlines, travel & leisure, tourism-related businesses (demand/pricing risk and higher fuel costs).
• Import-dependent, oil-importing economies (worse trade balance, inflation).
• Emerging-market sovereigns/corporates with regional exposure (higher borrowing costs, FX pressure).
• Some cyclical equity sectors sensitive to growth/inflation shock.

Likely medium-term implications (conditional)

• If conflict remains limited and market fears subside: effects may be transitory — energy prices and risk premia fall back, equities recover.
• If escalation persists or shipping routes are disrupted: sustained higher oil prices, broader inflation, tighter monetary-policy responses, slower growth, wider credit spreads, and greater fiscal strain for importers.

Practical finance/portfolio considerations

• Short‑term: expect continued volatility; consider rebalancing to reduce concentrated exposure to travel/cyclicals and evaluate hedges for oil or FX risk.
• Medium-term: monitor oil trajectory, shipping/strait security, central-bank commentary on inflation, and regional geopolitical developments; defensive/liquidity buffers remain prudent.

Confidence and caveats
- Current impacts are typical of a geopolitical shock to a key energy region: strong near-term market reactions but path depends on escalation vs de‑escalation. Data and market moves can change rapidly; outcomes hinge on diplomatic/military developments.

YOur reflexive naysaying is... not interesting.

I get it, ORANGE MAN BAD.

I could have told anyone what your response would be, before I read it.

And to you, he can do no wrong.

Remember you said give Trump 2 years on the economy? I'll give him till the midterms no more than that. **** giving him till Jan 2027 after the midterms.

And will we still be in Iran?

March 4 (Reuters) - The impact of the Iran conflict on energy markets will be temporary and a “small price” to pay for U.S. military goals, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Fox News on Wednesday.
U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and the subsequent response by Tehran have widened regional tensions and paralyzed shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting vital Middle East oil and gas flows and sending energy prices higher. Oil prices rose on Thursday in Asia amid growing concern over the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
