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

[mikegriffith1]

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 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.

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.

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.

No, nothing to do with Clinton. The market was happy because they got a president who likes rich people at the expense of average folks.

You are also overlooking the fact that the market has been essentially flat for most of two years, and that it has dropped at near record setting velocity for the last few days.

[Harpy Eagle]

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%.

LOL! You're the one playing with numbers. You're counting the recession stock numbers, when the market had nowhere to go but up and after it had lost a huge amount of points. So **of course** when the moderate recovery came along, you saw a sharp rise in the stock market, which accounts for the large percentage of increase that you misleadingly cited.

I'm talking about performance *after* the market regained stability. Trump inherited a stable stock market that had been growing very modestly for the previous three years, but days after he was elected, the market took off, and, again, stock market growth in Trump's first 33 months has been more then three times better than its growth during the 35 months leading up to the election.

 

[mikegriffith1]

You liberals play this same old game when confronted with just how well the stock market has performed under Trump: You take the Great Recession low as your starting point, when the stock market had lost 54% of its value compared to the previous high in October 2007, when the DJIA had dropped to below 7,000 points. Yeah, **of course,** even a modest recovery such as Obama's is going to produce a "huge" increase from a six-year low!

How about we talk about market performance during **normal times**? Again, let's repeat the facts: Days--just days--after Trump was elected, the stock market began to rise markedly, and during Trump's 33 months in office the market's rise has been more than three times greater that the rise during Obama's 35 months leading up to election day. The increase under Trump has been 7,385 points vs. Obama's increase of just 1,756 points in his last 35 months before election day.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

LOL! You're the one playing with numbers. You're counting the recession stock numbers, when the market had nowhere to go but up and after it had lost a huge amount of points. So **of course** when the moderate recovery came along, you saw a sharp rise in the stock market, which accounts for the large percentage of increase that you misleadingly cited.

I'm talking about performance *after* the market regained stability. Trump inherited a stable stock market that had been growing very modestly for the previous three years, but days after he was elected, the market took off, and, again, stock market growth in Trump's first 33 months has been more then three times better than its growth during the 35 months leading up to the election.

So you decided when the market was stable. You are a partisan. The last President to have a great effect on the economy was Ronald Reagan. Neither Obama or Trump have had a great effect on the economy. That is why Bush was the last President to have 3%+ growth and Clinton was the last to have 4% growth and neither had anything to do with it.

Foul! Unfair use of accurate data.
