Trump rally: Stocks put 2017 in the record books

I've never encountered a journalist that produces creditable poetry.

 

So you give Obama credit when the market goes down. What about when it goes up? What if the market went down under Trump? Would you give him credit?

 

record books?

its only #19 out of the top 100 years of DJ growth.

 

But it's "winning" all the same.

Why are you so, so un-American as to not like seeing and/or hearing about America winning?

 

Nice obama did well.

 

I'd venture to guess most the liberals on this site don't have any money tied up in investments. If they have any retirement at all it's a public pension from a job they paid a union boss making 10 times their salary to have.

 

Like to stereotype much?

When I see the investment advice from some of our conservative friends recently, including the ones in this thread, I seriously doubt that they are making big money on the "Trump rally". Why? Because they have been out of the market under Obama, because, you know, Obama was "bad for bsness". They will be the ones buying high and selling low.

 

Dream on...

 

Facts are very messy things when spewing partisan prejudice.

 

Excellent point. I posted a thread on this topic a while ago:

http://www.politicalforum.com/index...s-better-for-the-stock-market-economy.516266/

The bottom line is: If you bet on a GOP president being better for the stock market, you are mistaken, based on history. The best strategy for maximum return is to invest in the market through buy and hold, no matter who the president is.

Some of our resident Trump fans and wanna-be investors should take not of this, it may prevent them from buying high and selling low.

 

Why? I’m simply pointing out the facts.

 

The alt left, at least those on this forum, certainly seem to believe this. Sigh.

LOL

Do you think we would have seen the same degree of recovery under any of the Republican nominees? You could be right, who knows. It's not unreasonable to think part of this recovery was based merely on relief at Obama's departure along with an overwhelming sense of relief that we weren't going to be saddled with four more years of Obama 2.0 in the form of Hillary.

I don't care if he's popular, if he's getting the job done.

I suspect you may be right, based in part on their consistent feigned ignorance about all things economy-related, combined with the insistence that only the 1%ers even own stocks.

 

I hate to break the news to you but performance rating has nothing to do with popularity. It has to do with PERFORMANCE.

 

I believe Kasich would have been a better POTUS than Trump, yes.

 

Fair enough. I kind of favored Rubio. He won the primary in my state, although as an Independent I was not allowed to vote in the primary. No doubt part of the uptick in consumer and investor confidence was simply because consumers and investors were glad to see Obama gone and equally glad to see that he wasn't going to be followed by Obama 2.0 aka Hillary. But I also think a fair share of the uptick in investor and consumer confidence truly goes to Trump and his pro-business pro-America stance.

 

I hate to break the news to you but people vote their wallets and wallets are getting fat since Trump was elected

 

In case you didn't notice, my wallet's been getting fat since 2009.

 

In case you didn't notice Trump's president and will run for a second term as people sing "were in the money the skies are Sunny".

 

He won't last long enough to even consider a second term.

 

You can thank Bush for the recession or maybe your just a poor business owner.

 

Lol how did your investments work out for you when Bush crashed the market lol. Do pensions even exist anymore?

 

Rubio was too young.

No doubt he will try try again later on.

 

you never hold your gods to their own words. Obama said 1-2% growth was the new norm. The party of managed decline can't take credit for an economic boom.

 

The collectivist literally believe that Bush crashed the economy so bad it took Obama 8 years to fix it, and it wasn't till 8 years later, the day after Trump was elected, that the economy began to take off. Businesses said they would never have invested It in America if Hillary would have won. Consumer confidence is high for a reason. If Hillary won the tax cut would have been a tax increase and the coal workers would have been shut down. The country would become a sanctuary country and anyone and everyone could come and go unchecked and unregulated. Utopia...

 

huh?
