about 8 months after speculation it would clear 27000...DJIA has been on a roller coaster during Trump's term, after many years of steady upward climb...


Presidents sometimes get too much credit or too much blame for the Dow numbers...in Trump's case, he does seem to be able to move the market up and down with his decisions...biggest positives have been deregulation on big industries and tax cuts for the wealthy and for corporations...biggest negative factor has been his trade decisions, especially with China...

Poetry and irony make strange bedfellows.

but it doesn't take long before irony straightens poetry out

Well... it's hit 25000 again. Does this mean DED wins?

perhaps...if he gets part of the wall built in his section of AZ that Mexico will pay for through immigration tariffs.....

I want my cigars back. 😣

I kinda feel like we should bring this back up to the top. We're getting close to 25,000 again..... 25,500 right now, and with 300-800 point swings the past couple days it could hit 25,000 any day now.

Palama had 8/16.... who knows?

Oh yeah baby! 😮

At some point someone is gonna have to start sending cigars to send, he's gonna have to pay this contest out so many times.... 🙂
