How good the stock market under Trump really is, in one chart

[Chris]

I think that it is fairly simple to see what is happening in the USA when it comes to the growing stock market.

With the Reduced regulations and Taxation, US business is more competitive. This means they can do more things in the USA.

This is helping employment, wages, and even benefits packages.

Business is really quite simple to see. But when you are so vested in false information, it makes it hard to see the forest through the trees.

Agree, that is a very plausible outcome of deregulation and tax reduction.

With age comes wisdom. For most of us at least, you may be an exception.

Like I said earlier, I can learn, ugly is through and through.

Well prove it then. Learn something.

Then how do you explain the rally under President Obama that this is simply a continuation of?

Dump 6 trillion fake dollars into the economy and the market has to go up. The Obama Rally was based on the perception the government wouldn't allow certain companies to go under. This rally based on the perception that Trump will make it easier to make money and keep it.

Obama gets his due but not Trump's. To you people he's a hero from Day One until, well, now and tomorrow. This stupendous increase is all Trump's. I realize it's something you can bring yourself to admit but people know it. 401's don't lie and bonus' don't lie and paychecks don't lie.

Who was it that said "What's good for General Motors is good for the General Public" or something like that. Anything that allows business to grow will always filter down to the people, unless government steps in the way.

Charles Wilson 1953


During the hearings, when asked if as secretary of defense he could make a decision adverse to the interests of General Motors, Wilson answered affirmatively but added that he could not conceive of such a situation “because for years I thought what was good for the country was good for General Motors and vice versa.”

There was no rally under Obama. It was flaccid.

Nice, don't like the numbers so accuse me of lying.

Have a nice day.

Don't take it too personal, it's all they have to go on. There was a post a couple of days ago that said "liberals argue based upon feelings, conservatives argue based upon facts"...seems like you are the only conservative in this thread, everyone else is arguing based upon their feelings and emotions.

My stock portfolio realized a 20% in 2016. The average gain for me during the Obama era was 5.5%. Coincidence? Happenstance?

Liberals believe their opinions are facts, so your criticism of any conservative is given the credibilty it deserves.

They believe whatever they think, whatever they imagine is factual, or, at least, in a relativistic way, just as important as any facts.
