Uh..Fox News? About That DJI "BLASTING" Through The 21,000 Mark After Trump's Speech thing?

...it blasted back....


Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 20,954 today.

Must be Obama's fault for 'tapping your wires.'

Alternatively, if the market was up on Wednesday because Trump demonstrated he could muddle his way through a speech without giving the world the impression that he's bat-shit crazy....it went down again when he proved he STILL IS bat-shit crazy over the weekend.

I've been in 'moderate risk' managed funds, and don't know what the managers are thinking these days.

about money managers having a fiduciary responsibility to disclose conflicts of interest to their clients. Pretty sure we'll soon be back to the Goldman Sachs rule: screw em on the way in, and screw em again on the way out.

downplayed The Dow's rise under Obama - - 148% growth under his watch. The Dow would have to approach 50k for the Trump years to match that. Who wants to bet that won't happen?

A mere 12% annualized return for 8 years! Now, we're all jacked up over 1.7% since January? That's still only 10.6% per year. The DJIA is growing SLOWER now.

It's just a question of time before the bottom falls out.

I wonder if they'll still "credit" the orange despot.
