-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.

If the market will improve when we take over the House. Seems like it could. Currently, I'm afraid to look at my 401k.

Plus, the money is in a risk averse fund.

This is just another reason to eagerly await a Dem president

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.

Said this before,the Dow was Juiced by adding certain Tech Stocks just to kiss Trump's ass. Take those five high flyers,we would be in or about a 18-19 Dow.
