Fortunately, there are more success stories than one. The market is doing better under Trump than Obaminable ... like 2x's plus. The problem yesterday is: concerns that Congress will not pass a tax cut plan. So the POTUS only affects the markets with announced plans, but unlike Obaminable Trump wants Congress to kiss the deals he wants unless it is wholly within his authority to do so.
Trump is a businessman. Obaminable was a government employee. Originally Posted by LexusLover

So within a 10 month period, under Obama the DJIA went up 60%. In Trump's first 10 months in office, the DJIA went up 18%. That's math even a lying, ignorant, redneck, hillbilly should be able to understand.

This is Trump's singularly greatest accomplishment, speedy. It's one we as citizens of this Republic can savor for the rest of our lives, speedy. And in comparison, speedy, your opinion means zilch.

12 months later, Trump would probably still win the 2016 election

[E]ven as Trump's disapproval rating has reached a new high of 59 percent, he has still got enough of a base to win reelection if there were a rematch today ... if he wound up facing the same historically unpopular Democratic nominee that he did in 2016 ... hildebeest's numbers appear to have gotten even worse in the year since her election loss; a poll last week showed that she is viewed even more unfavorably than Trump is.

Very few people, Republican or Democrat, would argue that Hillary Clinton was the best nominee for the Democratic party in 2016. Sanders no better. Hard to believe that in the 8 years Obama was in office a more creditable candidate than Hillary Clinton could not be found to run for POTUS on the Democratic side. So we have Donald Trump, who in 10 months has no major legislative victories. Oh well. The U.S. will survive.

It took Obama, Reid and Pelosi 18 months to fuckup our health care system. But GDP is up, unemployment down, border crossings down, regulations lifted, and the Califate is almost destroyed. And a new conservative judge on the Supreme Court along with 100 federal judges he’s going to appoint. And then there’s this:

So you double the dollars and thus reduce the dollars value by half.

10 + 10 x 10/2 = 100

or

20 x 5 = 100

What part of that do you not understand?

Of course, like everything else he claims to understand, he gets it wrong.

The actual relationship is (crudely) expressed as M x V = P x Q.

where M = money supply
V = velocity of money (turnover)
P = price level
Q = economic output

I won't bore everyone with a full exposition, but the bottom line is - yes, you can increase the money supply (M) without necessarily or unduly pushing up prices (P) if the monetary expansion is offset by a decline in velocity (V). This is precisely what happened in recent years. Many economists expected the Fed's actions to result in a burst of inflation. They were wrong because the rate at which money turns over in the economy fell to 60-year lows.

Now go ask your friend Captain Midnight for a quick tutorial in monetarism!

So your Defense Stocks are booming because the government is pouring our tax dollars in them.

That is like waging (sic) on the death of our soldiers. The more war and dead soldiers, the more money you will make on your Defense Stocks.

I hope you are proud of yourself. Originally Posted by WTF

The Defense Industry SAVES lives by building the best weapons systems to protect our soldiers and deter enemies from attacking us. Additionally it provides jobs to many people. Originally Posted by gnadfly

He is doing exactly what he obscenely accuses you of - praying for "more Dead American soldiers" and "wagering" with their lives.

Of course. It makes perfect sense that the biggest looming worry for the market is the reversal of what got us here in the first place. Originally Posted by WTF

And as I already told you in another thread, the Federal Reserve ended quantitative easing 3 years ago. Since then, this policy that you call "printing more money" has been partially reversed as the Fed's $4 trillion bond portfolio matures and/or is sold off. So what you deem "the biggest looming worry for the (stock) market" is in fact already occurring - and it hasn't put the slightest damper on the party!
