Stock Market under Trump (1 Viewer)

This would be really bad timing for Trump. I’m guessing 50% of his campaign is surrounding how well everyone’s portfolio is doing. 

 
It’s going to truly be a sight to see when everyone tries to sell at the same time. 

I will be helping the popcorn industry for sure.

Pretty diabolical how the Chinese let that bug out just in time for the pandemic close to election time, isn't it?

They really want Trump out of here.

Look at the first year of Trumps presidency - down market. Not until year 2ish did it start turning.

I have a feeling the hedge fund folks will get out and be OK, leaving the every day investor holding the bag. When the time comes of course.

Not sure if this was already covered, but what % of the US population has any money in the stock market?  I believe it is about 55%. Is this the barometer of success for our economy?

And like me,  much of it is for retirement and doesn’t do anything for me today.

Still plenty of time to swing up again before November. It’s only February. 
 

If the US GDP and stock market prices are still affected in November, it’s not going to be because of the corona virus.  Or we have lots more to worry about than an election. 

 
Economy facts during Trump's admin. I'm not an expert.  Figures lie and liars figure. It seems the employment number gets debated regularly. I believe the others are true 'enough':

300,000 fewer 'good' jobs.   $34B costs to consumers (adjusted, so more accurate). $9B less in ag exports. Farm bankruptcies at peak since 2011.  

(paraphrasing Denzel Washington in Philadelphia) Can someone explain this to me, like I'm a 6 year old?

Do you feel it will break that?

I'd guess after a bounce off of it. I'll really be watching what Adam Mancini says. He thinks if it goes below 3335, it can go 70-80 points lower. That was a post from Thursday. We haven't had a big selloff in over a year.

You get that I asked a question about whether there was news that caused a stock market move, right? And all the rest of this was made up in your head?

He's rollin'...leave him be or we might get a lecture on how the market would be under 10K if Hillary were President.

Gotta love the “Independents” that always root against the market and anything Trump as well. So unbiased and Independent. 😂

The people rooting against the market are either short the market or they don't like Trump and don't have much invested.  Nobody's rooting for their nest egg to be depleted no matter how much they dislike Trump.

Idk if this is “the” one. It’s possible. There might still be time to get your nest egg in something safer. I won’t take any joy out of seeing lots of people lose big. I have tried to get people to at least entertain the idea of taking profits for awhile and been bullied in here by a lot of people. 

In the end we all have to just live with our own investment decisions. 

 
Just sad to see the regular cheerleaders spend years rooting against the market only because of Trump, now you get a deadly virus to give a pullback.....congrats? Pretty sad.

Everyone knows when you are at all time highs and in an election year with a socialist candidate it could be a good time to take profits/be conservative, after being wrong for years and acting like sage advice is being giving is comical but more so sad given the circumstance you are rallying behind. SAD. 

Good read for those of you that aren't into the partisan fear mongering.

A.  Nobody is cheering for the market to go down...that is not only a myth...its a baseless accusation meant solely to get a reaction out of people on a message boarad.

B.  I see the excuses already ready...everything good is Trump (forget where things were when he took office) and everything bad has an excuse...socialist...virus...all that.  Never mind how deep in debt we went to fund the tax cuts that barely spurred the market at all and did nothing for GDP growth.

Its natural to get a bit nervous...because of anything in the market is bad even this early...its not good for Trump.  its his only "accomplishment" as of now.

Pretty sad response, equating a deadly virus as bad for Trump. A break might be good for you, I'll go ahead and stick with advice from Warren Buffet instead of your typical partisan untruths.

I didn't say anything about the Virus...I stated the market going down is bad for him.  That is the truth...its his one accomplishment he can point to (and he can't really answer about where it was going when he took office).

But of course...as a response to that...I get a post from you about me instead of what I actually said.

Nothing I stated was untrue...
