(146,288 posts)-380+ right now, and dropping. Investors are not pleased by the turmoil at the White House and in Congress. Not at all. And then, there's the Syria pullout and Trump paying his dues to Putin.
Not a good day, I think.

(19,064 posts)I'm in aerospace and software engineering. Have one of the old guys here who's beyond a genius and develops software on the side that helps him predict the markets as a hobby. He says 19,500 is the proper value based on his math which takes into account the Shiller Price Earnings ratio heavily, but adds some other factors his software finds for him.
He says we should be at 19,500 right now, but that if little changes the markets might see 17,000 before rebounding. If things pull back we could see much lower.
