The Dow is down over 300 or so points since Drumpf bragged about its rise !

Gee, I'm not Warren Buffet but I could see that threatening trade wars , threatening to invade Mexico, dissing the Australian Prime Minister, banning Muslims from entering the United States and saber rattling China, and Iran would be bad for the markets.


This is the only thing that will get the GOP's and the Deplorables' attention.

1. Watch the facts and numbers.

The big losses occurred last week, and some thought that was due to some disappointments due to last years', 4th quarter.

I and they DO expect big market 'shocks' due to this administration, but somewhere down the road. Today's loss is, at this hour, only 36 points.

2. i can imagine the stock market going up 500 points in the event that

donnie drops dead. truly bizarre situation we're in.


for the most part, not even donnie can ruin most of wall street's dreams. congress will pass and donnie will sign regulation cuts, tort "reform", tax cuts, etc. all he has to do is sign. it would be different if he had to persuade anyone, but with republicans controlling everything, all he has to do is sign and take credit for things congress was going to pass on their own anyway.


it's the protectionism that scares wall street. if he can convince congress to do enough to trigger trade wars, the markets will be hurting bigly.
