2. S&P 500 up 7.1% in 21.3 months, that's a 4.0% annualized rate - basically a crawl,

and that journey has been one with harrowing roller coaster ups and downs.

S&P 500 (much more representative of the U.S. stock market and what people own than the Dow 30)

2873   1/26/2018 close
3078   11/4/2019 close
+7.1% (4.0% annualized rate)

and right now we're basically in an "up bump" phase in the Trump market cycles with yet another trade truce with China.

And the Federal Reserve's QE-4 (or whatever it is) is pumping up the markets -- it has gotten its balance sheet above $4 trillion again.

(It was about $800 billion in the years before the Great Recession.)

The great "Trump" record up to 1/26/2018 (one year and 6 days since Inauguration Day) was of course, a continuation of the Obama boom, and before all the Trump trade war garbage started, and before the TCJA Trump Tax Cuts for the Corporados took effect.
