O....M....G....DJIA Hits 50,000 Another huge win for Trump


citygator said:
Who's celebrating? I am pointing out Trump is terrible for the stock market AND my portfolio. Tariffs were a disaster. War is a disaster. The budget was a disaster.

I may not like republican policies overall but I absolutely HATE the policies that make my investments and business hurt. I can live with not getting my way until he does those things that are destructive to business and the nation.

Trump’s DJIA is up 11% in the past year. Was 14%. Perhaps you have the wrong stocks.

What happened to Mr 50,000 Trump is the best ever poster? Now you are are just handing out participation trophies. You righties crack me up.
 
Once again our strong society and economy chug along quite in spite of the economically illiterate fat rapist.

And once again he finds a way to actively sabotage it.

I remember the good ol' days when Trump was riding Biden's budget and coattails... now we have spiking prices, rising oil, job losses, and a dipping (crashing?) market.

My great uncle always said you can't lose with oil stock. Conventional wisdom has said to not be too heavy in oil, given the 'green energy' nonsense, but we've held firm and have come out ahead of the S&P most years. Thankfully, Trump and this war have put an end to the anti-fossil fuels nonsense for now. EV vehicles are sitting on the lots. Nobody wants the damn things without subsidies. 0bama/Biden centerpiece has come tumbling down as intelligent people predicted it would.

The Dow measurements are obsolete and no longer reflect the real economy, if it ever did. The private stock market is much bigger and much more lucrative, and the peasants aren't invited to play. Then there are those massive trust funds, for people like the Rockefellers, Fords. etc. Nobody had any idea how large they are, because they aren't required to make public their profits and losses or anything else.

Oh, some of them require way more than that chump change. Some brokerages will invite customers to play in that range, true.

This year’s largest stock sale wasn’t on the New York Stock Exchange or its uptown rival, the Nasdaq Stock Market. Instead, it was a $40 billion offering by OpenAI that was available to only the investors handpicked by the firm’s executive team, including Sam Altman himself. Fewer than 50 investors snagged shares.

For most Americans, the universe of stocks they can invest in is rapidly shrinking. The number of public companies in the U.S. is half of its peak in the late 1990s.That’s not a problem for the rich.

The ultrawealthy are able to buy and sell shares of the buzziest private companies via invite-only transactions long before they list their shares on public stock exchanges.


What the 'little people' get to invest in is the scraps and garage sale stuff.
