2867.88

The Dow closed today at 21,200.62.

The Dow closed on Election Day 2016 at 18,332.74.

That means if the Dow gives back $2867.88, it will have - in the space of less than a month - shed all the gains it made under Trump.

I suspect Wall Street is on the verge of saying, "enough!"

The period between Trump's election and his inauguration always reminds me of this song:

January 2nd, 2018 is the day all of Trump's policies and his tax rates went into effect.

Trump doesn't get credit for Obama's tax rates and policies. Heck, Obama's budget was in effect until 10/1/2017.

His tax rates went into effect in 2018. Any new laws Congress passes went into effect then too.

So basically all of 2017 was under OBama’s tax rates and policies. And the first 9 months was still his budget.

Move forward as a community. Don't count on the government from today on.
Water took 5 days to get to Katrina victims. We have to help each other.
