1.6 Trillion Bucks added to Stock Market Value

[TheOldSchool]

Oh and the company behind most of the growth since Trump's election? Goldman Sachs. The perks of having 3 executives in the incoming President's cabinet I suppose. Pay to play baby.

Geeez. Get to Costco today to get another 5 gallon drum of Preparation H for your butt hurt.

"Butthurt?" Did we timewarp to 2013?

 

[miketx]

Man, that's just great. Trump is great, Trump is good, now we pray he bless this food.

Mine were cold hard economic facts. Yours is just a weak amateurish attempt to change FACTS into a faith that can be ridiculed. Poor try, even for you.

What is true is that labor force participation and full time employment is so dismal now that rising UE due to discouraged and underemployed worker seeking employment could easily last 18-24 months. Similar oddities from Obama and Ds Soviet style storming of the plan for the past 8 years will bring seemingly bad news to light for years to come.

Republicans control Congress...Why haven't they done anything about Labor Participation Rate?

Why haven't you?

Man, that's just great. Trump is great, Trump is good, now we pray he bless this food.

Mine were cold hard economic facts. Yours is just a weak amateurish attempt to change FACTS into a faith that can be ridiculed. Poor try, even for you.

What is true is that labor force participation and full time employment is so dismal now that rising UE due to discouraged and underemployed worker seeking employment could easily last 18-24 months. Similar oddities from Obama and Ds Soviet style storming of the plan for the past 8 years will bring seemingly bad news to light for years to come.

Republicans control Congress...Why haven't they done anything about Labor Participation Rate?

By that same logic, you admit that Republicans are responsible for most of the market gains under the Obama obstruction. Thank you for playing.

ROFLMAO

The Market would have done much better under Hillary.....everyone knows the market does better under a Democrat than a Republican

Bush: Dow at start 10750...Dow at end 8150 LOSS of 2600

Obama Dow at start 8150....Dow today 19960 GAIN of 11,810

And certain individuals will attempt to crash it after he is in office just as they did do at the end of Bush's presidency.

While that is what is always sold as a cause only the 1905 crash is compatible with that model because the Rockerfellers and Morgans were going after the same railroad at the same time. The 1837 crash was caused by Jackson thinking he could find his butt with both hands when it came to banking but the boogie man model simply does not have a good fit with reality. Permanent Plateau of Prosperity thinking is the normal cause of crashes as it was 2003-5. While people did profit from the crash by the time AIG got out of the market the crash was just a matter of time, 3.5 years of time because US real estate represents roughly half a quadrillion in wealth.
