I think that Trump better find a few more pegs other than the DOW to hang his hat on.

The DOW increasing is not a good thing for a lot of people in the first place, but it will eventually fall.

I was hoping for some good things to happen when I voted for him, but other than the rich getting richer in the stock market, I don't really see any positive changes.

Going back to calling a terrorist a terrorist and knocking down the SJW crowds, especially at college campuses is a nice holdover, but when the other side votes Oprah in 2020 for president because of backlash the SJW's will destroy the planet.

Enjoy those stock market gains in your portfolio JSF. You're going to be living off of them when you get fired for being a privileged white male and you're replaced with a non-binary person of color who identifies as a Lyger in 2021.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Vanguard’s Chairman Sees Muted Decade for Stocks After Long Rally

d-decade-for-stocks-after-long-rally


F. William McNabb, whose firm oversees about $5 trillion, said long-term investors may benefit by holding balanced portfolios with bonds as well as stocks. McNabb cautioned investors to consider reducing their stock exposure before the nearly 9-year-old rally ends.

“We would expect the next decade to actually be very modest on the equities side in the U.S., a little less so in Europe and a little less so in Asia,” McNabb said in a Bloomberg Television interview that aired Thursday. “But it’s still overall lower than long-term historical averages.”

Stock markets reached a fever pitch in 2017 as the S&P 500 Index hit record highs and the rally has continued this year. The advance, buoyed by low interest rates around the world, economic growth and the U.S. tax overhaul, has sparked concerns that valuations have gotten stretched, spurring some investors to brace for a decline.

“No one can predict what’s going to happen in the next 12 months,” he said. “Having just said that, I’m sure the equity market will continue to skyrocket for the next few months.”

Sure. All those people who warned that 2008 would happen, and why - they can't be taken seriously, just because they knew what they were talking about.
You just go back to your Libtard news and don't worry you pretty little head about the Real World. Your Libtard news will look out for your best interests, just like they did in 2008.

The commercialz bug me the most. They prezent themselvez az trustworthy, careful, conservativ, wize, safe, smart, proper, respectable. They tout a long history, az if that meanz they must know wut they are doing. Guyz with salt & pepper hair in expensiv suits shaking handz in wood paneled fansy offisez.

Its all pure BS, kuz they cant predict the future any better than a palm reader. And, bekuz they are motivated to paint a rozy picture, they are less reliable than throwing a dart at a chart on the wall.

The biggest cheering section for the economy being ON FIRE! in 2008 ... on Bush's watch .... were Republicans who were busy congratulating themselves and each other on the success of the Bush tax cuts. Blaming the "libtard" media is just rewriting history. The REAL blower-of-bubbles was the Fed, who kept interest rates unrealistically low even as private/ government/ corporate/ financial debt zoomed up, and the lack of regulations on financial speculation by the banks. (Regulations had been deconstructed by Bill Clinton along with the GOP in 1999.)

All Bush, Obama, and the Fed did was paper over old debt with more debt. That's not going to last forever.

Looks like the Stock Market is celebrating Trump's First Year in Office, or else the Government Shutdown saving so much wasted Federal funds. Or both. All 3 indices are up, and the Dow was already trading over 26,160 which it has never done before.

Let's take a quick review here.

This is a gain of 1,040 in 8 trading days (25,075 on 4 Jan).

A gain of 1,323 in the 29 days since Tax Reform passed. A gain of 5.3%or 57.2% APR.

And 2,952 in 90 days since Trump's Budget was passed. A gain of 12.3%, or 51.7% APR.

And 6,115 since Dow crossed 20k last 25 Jan. A gain of 30.6% since Jump Off said to stop earning money, or 31.3% APR.

And 6,383 since taking office almost a year ago. A gain of over 32.3%.

And 7,783 since Election Day. A gain of 42.5% or 35.7% APR.
