Well folks I believe the time has come for me to ghost this bit of paradise for a while.

UNO is right. I don’t have anyone at home to say, “Hey babe! Check this out! The boys have gone batshit again.’

No. She’s gone.

No. I’m not made of sterner stuff.

Someone should tell kid the stock market is a "leading indicator" of economic health not a lagging one.


But what happens now?

On October 30th, the DJIA closed at 26,502.

After no "October Surprise" against Biden, the stocks climbed, finishing at 28,323 a week later.
Nov. 13th, 29,480.
Nov. 20th, 29,263.
Nov. 27th, 29,910.
Dec. 4th,   30,218.
Dec. 11th, 30,046.
Dec. 18th, 30,179.
Dec. 24th, 30,200.
Dec. 31st, 30,606.
Jan. 8th,   31,098.
Jan 15th,  30,814.

Going into tomorrow: 30,931.

Biggest post-election bump in a good while.

Honestly, I think they're nuts, but "where do we go from here" seems to be further up, based on current data.

In case Josh is asleep

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/18/health/covid-cases-decline/index.html

Evidently, you are asleep:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/19/politics/biden-team-covid/index.html

They know that the Trump team has not told them everything and they are anxious about what they do not know.

I've observed the recent decline - commented on it, as a matter of fact, before we saw it. It's in the IHME model, Kid.

I am skeptical of it. That's what I said. There is no reason for it, at this stage.

Well. Unless Joe Biden becomes Obama redux.
Which is entirely possible.

The stock market run up was about the same under the failed socialist cocksucker Obama as it was under the great paragon of capitalism Donald Trump.

Obama gets points for creating more jobs than existed when he took office while trump leaves us with fewer jobs than there were when he started all the bullshit about him actually being President.

Obama also left us in much better shape Both with our budget and our debt.

It’s a lot like comparing the performance of the stock market overall to the performance of anything run by the trump organization.
