Big up swing in the stock market?

Trump was out of the country! No tantrum, no tweets, no Trump!

2. Futures are -75 at the moment

So I guess he's back.

3. Well?

That is it!

4. fox news tendency is to talk up greatest 1 day rise in history.

When market goes down they prefer percentage declines which seem less dramatic.


[A 1000 point dj gain at this level, is in percentage terms much less dramatic historically.]

5. Even with today, the Dow is down about 8% on the year.

Not exactly bragworthy, but I expect a twitter self backpat from Orangeanus by the time the sun rises.

6. Dow pretty much went nowhere for the year, before going down lately.

Anything near the 8% loss you quote, should be enough to awaken some when they get their year end statements for 2018.

7. It hit its peak for the year on Oct 3, about 8% above the start of the year.

I missed that, but made transfers near a later up point. Could have been much better, but considering that I was up 2.4% after Christmas Eve's drop when that was negative 8% for the Dow, I'm feeling pretty good. Bush the Lesser's economy erased a lot of value for me, I wasn't just going sit still when tRump ran out Obama's run up.

The next couple days might be rough, Donny's chaos is going to whipsaw the markets.

8. trump goosed [ludicrous fat cat tax breaks] the dji up about 1400 points in january. Market was

mostly choppy after that. Made a small percentage high - before the bills came due lately.

9. Except that it peaked Oct 3rd, after a longish flat run up over the summer.

It was lower in early February than at the start of the year. Your "goose" peak flew south after January ended.

The swings in the year were up 8% by early October and down 8% from the start of the year now. A lot of volatility from Trump chaos, but
a swing of 16% is not "chop".

10. Not so much.. At this moment the DOW is down 576.01

Yesterday was a classic dead cat bounce.
