Stocks and earnings surge, and Iran deal may be imminent: What to watch this week

Main St Americans have 401Ks and pensions. A growing DOW means more real jobs and opportunity.

Roughly 1 in 3 working Americans — about 33% — are not invested in the stock market.​

That’s tens of millions of workers.

Well maybe they should. Isnt that their choice. Its not my fault if they choose not to.

They will vote their pocket book. And of the remainder who are in the market, many of them are small investors.

This does not look good for MAGA at all.

I am certain the legislation they send to Trump is going to enrich us all.

On May 22, 2026, petroleum futures dropped by $6.00 per barrel, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures trading at $104.68 per barrel. This decline reflects ongoing fluctuations in the oil market influenced by various economic factors.

The so-called peace deal has no chance in Hell of being agreed upon by both parties.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Watch Trump’s and his family’s stock holdings skyrocket.

Trump has no stockholdings. They are in a trust by his children. He has no control over them, dumbass!

 

[LeftofLeft]

Watch Trump’s and his family’s stock holdings skyrocket.

As will the stocks held by Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Kerry, Clintons, Gore, Americans holding their own stocks and 401k’s. A rising tide raises all boats.

 

[jacksonlamb]

Trump has no stockholdings. They are in a trust by his children. He has no control over them, dumbass!

He is given a daily briefing and then instructs his brokers.

 

[SweetTea]

And we will see what the market will do tomorrow.

I hope, for my sake, it does well.

But it is not Main Street and no barometer for the average voting person at all.

They are very much related.

 

[SweetTea]

They will vote their pocket book. And of the remainder who are in the market, many of them are small investors.

This does not look good for MAGA at all.

And not good for you since you have money the market. Let me let you in on a little secret. The money made in the market is a big driver for the overall economy. Without big investors, the 60% of people without money invested would likely be out of jobs.

Do you know what insider trading is?

 

[gipper]

Trump has no stockholdings. They are in a trust by his children. He has no control over them, dumbass!

Sure. I’m certain you believe that. Dumbass!

 

[jacksonlamb]

They are very much related.

Not at all. The working man uninvested in the stock market gets nothing out of it.

It is not a measure for tens of millions of workers, for whom Trump does not give a ****.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Do you know what insider trading is?

I’m very familiar with it. Wouldn’t you think a cumulative 16,930 percent return over 37 years by a member of Congress warrant an insider trading investigation??

And for President Trump whose comments move the markets.

 

[LeftofLeft]

And for President Trump whose comments move the markets.

For what President has that never been the case?????

 

[candycorn]

The market is closed for the holiday.

Yeah...you'd figure a high powered stock trader would know this....

So easy to see when blob supporters are lying.

 

[jacksonlamb]

For what President has that never been the case?????

Deliberately with instructions through his kids to his broker to buy low and sell high?

So have my investments. None of which involve the Trump holdings.

CALGARY: Oil prices fell nearly 7 per cent on Monday (May 25) as optimism grew that the United States and Iran were moving closer to a peace deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even though Washington and Tehran played down hopes for an imminent breakthrough.
Brent crude futures LCOc1 were down US$7.24, or almost 7 per cent, at US$96.30 a barrel at 2:29pm ET (Tuesday, 2:29am, Singapore time) and US West Texas Intermediate CLc1 futures were down US$6.30, or 6.5 per cent, at US$90.88.
Trading volumes were light due to the US Memorial Day holiday.
