TRUMP CAN FUND BORDER WALL WITHOUT CONGRESS

Interesting read

That was what Trump opined a few days after proudly claiming the shutdown would be his and a few days before blaming the Dems for the shutdown.

Kiiid, if he could do that, then why has he waited until now to force a showdown by shutdown. Clearly, he doesn't believe he can.

Today, the DJIA dived under 22,000, down to a number last seen on September 8th, 2017.

But it will take two more days like this to get it under 21,000 (close of May 24, 2017) and three more to get it under 20,000. (close of February, 2, 2017.

The day before his inauguration (January 19, 2017) closed at 19,732.40.

Three more days like today would bring us a mere 10 points above that. We have four days before New Year's. Could be close!

Today was a good day - the best day of 2018, back up nearly 1,100 points. Our 4 out of 6 voters are looking good temporarily.

The GOP continues to demonstrate that they are as a party anti-democracy.

800 points below what it was a.week ago. Best day! But it least it gives you something to talk about besides pretending lowering gas prices was because of Trump's energy policies.

I never said that.
But behave as expected.
Notice that oil had a large increase in price, the biggest upsurge in two years, and the overall market still had its best day, EVER.

Market rallied when word came of Trump’s visit to a war zone...

Not sure if a rollercoaster Dow is really the only metric for appraisals of the economy.   Red seems as excited for an upsurge in crude oil prices,  as he was for its earlier plunge.  Bigger picture, when you look at different nations around the world,  is read from metrics like the rate of personal savings and also debt liabilities.  Healthy economies have high rates of the former and lower of the latter.   

Simply going by consumer spending,  around Xmas, can give a deceptive picture.   Short term,  yes,  things look prosperous when people buy stuff, but real prosperity goes beyond the holiday bonus check and shows up as long-term savings,  more home ownership,  and reduction of credit card debt.   

IMO you need to watch those indices and not every paroxysm WS has at the sight of its own shadow.

You might want to do further research. News of the Iraqi trip broke well after the market took off
A more plausible explanation


Today the market’s message is that we have nothing to fear but fear itself,” said Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research. “The recent sell-off reflected fears of an impending recession which were blown away today by Amazon and other retailers reporting a record holiday selling season.

Fundamentally you’ve got good growth here in the States, you have reasonable growth overseas, you’re going to have record earnings in 2019 and possibly in 2020 as well, you’ve got low inflation,” said Scott Wren, senior global equity strategist at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute. He said the market, before Wednesday’s steep rise, had fallen too far and was ready to post gains as a result of the underlying strength of the American economy.

Excuse me ?
My posts were factual on economic happenings.
The following perspectives were not mine.
If you choose to agree with Knicks state your case.

I'd rather laugh at you.

I think posts where he demonstrates his complete inability to recognize a joke are better. Better still when he combines the two.
