The Reality of the Trump Economy

The DJIA went from 7,000 points to 19,000 points under Obama, that is a gain of 12,000 points. You don't know your stuff. Obama cleaned up the mess that Bush43 and Dick Cheney left behind. Originally Posted by adav8s28

In post #98 the user said there was very little movement in stocks under Obama. The statement was false, so I fixed it for him. How can a movement of 12,000 points be little? My Roth IRA is doing fine and on target, thanks.

and Obama was the worst historically of any 2 term prez in the GDP/economic growth ever. stop lying about Bushie. it's a false premise.
“The Reagan-Bush years,have exalted private gain over public obligation, special interests over the common good, wealth and fame over work and family. The 1980s ushered in a Gilded Age of greed and selfishness, of irresponsibility and excess, and of neglect.”

Yeah I remember the glow of Reagan for about 3 years. Then I got to watch the economy tank with the so called "trickle down economics". We all know what's going to happen Originally Posted by themystic

How much difference does the president make to stock market performance? Usually not much. He doesn't have some kind of magic wand he can wave that will boost corporate earnings, decrease interest rates, or increase multiples investors pay for stocks. Trump came the closest to magic wand waving when he lowered the corporate income tax rate, which was long overdo and a move favored by Obama when he was president. That increased after tax corporate earnings, which do have a strong effect on share prices.

As to Obama cleaning up Bush and Cheney's mess, why do you say that? Economic growth under Obama was anemic and the national debt continued to explode. Obama and Geithner didn't handle the recession any differently than Bush and Paulson were previously. If you're referring to the mess in Iraq and Afghanistan created by Bush and Cheney, Obama took his own sweet time in "cleaning" that up and didn't do a very good job.

The DJIA increased from 7949 to 19,827 under Obama. So it would grow more under Trump than Obama if it keeps up its current rate of increase. Is that likely to happen? IMHO, hell no, I don't think it will be anywhere close to 63000. Obama had the "advantage" of taking office when share prices were extremely depressed, while Trump started in more normal times.

Anyway, who won the Super Bowl has a much stronger effect on share prices than who's president.

Mystic, I didn't say it did. Economic growth, wage growth, and employment growth are more important. However, I suspect that your figures do not include stocks held by pension and other retirement funds. Add that to the "less than 50% of Americans" who own stocks directly (not by virtue of retirement funds) and it's significant.

To the extent that higher share prices reflect higher corporate earnings, which should correlate with a better economy (e.g. higher wages, more jobs, more investment in the private sector), they're good for all.
