You are ignoring the greatest influence on the stock market during Obama's reign that being Ben Bernanke keeping interest rates near zero. Under Trump, since the economy is robust Powell is raising them. When fixed interest rates get up near 3% money starts to leave the market. Oil prices are crashing also. The trade conflict with China is a big negative on the market, but that is necessary. How else do you stop China from stealing us blind on trade and IP piracy? Keep making meaningless speeches?Trump policy didn't really start taking effect till this year. We can see the result of that.2 years ago intelligent people hoped trump was joking for most of his policy.The problems are clearly trump policy. Same with the huge deficits. And on top of that they are predicting slow growth next year. MAGA.Hmmm, wasn't Obama claiming it was his market a couple weeks ago?
Didn't the market know trump policy 2 years ago, weren't the "huge deficits" known months ago. Predictions...won't even go there.
For at least 20 months they should have realized he wasn't joking.
