Some serious plummeting here from that easy to win trade war.

Almost back down to 25000.

Literally lost 1000 pts in like 4 days. And no one's mentioned a thing here

Eyeballing the trajectory at that time, I would say on track to be higher than it is.

But no matter how much you wanted it, obama wasn't going to be president in 2019. Ya know he didn't even run?

Yup he came in while it was low and tanking. Then it stabilized and began to grow and continue to grow which it is still doing (short of predictable dips... and maybe some flawed thinking/actions).

All that aside I think the point is (at least for me) I don't put all or most credit or blame for market performance on the president unless I see direct actions causing something. It seems some do.... and others put all the credit and none of the blame or vice versa depending on who is in. Those are the neutral logical thinkers.

I also remember the morons in here claiming Obama was going to stay in office after his second term.... the hand wringing was awesome. It was a fact not an opinion.... just like he wasn't born here etc.

Now the other morons are doing the same about Trump.

Don't impeach the slug, vote him out. And if he should win we get what we deserve. Wait another 4 then vote in a Kardashian.

I think we've seen a lot more volatility in the market the past 2 years (maybe I'm wrong, perhaps actually doing a statistical analysis of the variation would prove otherwise... but I don't have the time for the math). This volatility irritates me, because I have a nagging inclination that it's partially intentional.

People can make money off volatility. Lots of money very quickly. And if someone just happened to know what dumb things the president was going to say right before he tweeted them.... they could get in front of a lot of the volatility (not all of it, but there is definitely some tied to his statements).

Maybe I'm wrong (I hope I am)... but it nags at me.

Twice in the last couple years my gut told me to move all my 401K stuff out of the markets thinking the markets would dip, then throw it all back in when it does. Both times I didn't do it and was right. Next time I will be wrong LOL. *sigh*

It took all last year to make up my losses from the year before, but yes I am ahead of the day bammy left.

This might work if the president also had the power to tweet smart things that could improve the market... His Twitter valve is one-way...
