Dow: 19,732.40, -72.32, (-0.37%)

Nasdaq: 5,540.08, -15.57, (-0.28%)

Just in case anyone was wondering.
I am trusting business insider on these numbers.
Please post if you have different numbers from these.

Of course the big change is from October or so.

1. I do a regular exercise

where I look forward to current value and back to value having the same number of days from inauguration. While the S&P500 has grown 10.4% vs. 7.6% under Obama during the same period, the values keep moving closer together. When they cross another Trump talking point goes up in smoke.

If you compare dates after 2009 and 2017 inauguration days, you see a dramatic difference of course. Obama's performance is much greater.

2. interesting exercise.

The Obama growth was steady and consistent. He brought back what business likes - consistency and no drama.
