The President of the United States is an imbecile.

He only has two options at this point, double down or admit that he was wrong. He’s too arrogant to admit that he was wrong. This isn’t going to end well.

is the dow a metric for this administration?

take a 10 year look at the dow and see what # you think the “end” is.  

definitely some unusual growth as we really did well versus the world coming out covid. 

so there’s a lot of room to keep going down. 

take a look at a trendline from the 1990s until now. smooth the spikes and see where you land. 

when i did it it felt like we will be in the very low 30s and still listening to the blame game

it first broke 30,000 in 2020

I totally understand what you’re saying, but I don’t think the general public are viewing things with such a long term view.  I think the metric that matters for public perception is how much the market has lost since its peak, or since he took office.

it would be helpful if the dow drop off from then is right — but how long has it been since we only had one “public perception”

and i thought “create enough people with a prescribed perception” is how we got here

maybe somebody should ask trump and elon how low a dow is acceptable during this correction and tough times and see what they say. my guess is the answer is “what media are you from?” so they can insult it.

To be clear, I’m not defending that perception.  It’s only my opinion of how I think most people think about the market and how it’s connected to whomever happens to be in the White House.

A ten year view is much healthier.

It will all be better when they're done shooting the moon. All of these problems will go away, magically disappear, it will be beautiful, more beautiful than anything you've ever seen.

Yep.  I’ll be staying close to Times Square next week, so I’ll be sure not to venture out at night <shudder>

Buckwoody Egger

sounds like those cities have become some sort of situation where it’s like the citizens are in a beauty pageant run by the groper in chief?  maybe this was a jealousy complaint. that guy is always warning us about his competition.
