How's your 401K doing this year? S&P was at 2673 on Jan 1 and is only 2770 today. It was actually in negative territory for the year at the end of October.
Better than it was last year or the year before that or the year before that.
None of that has anything to do with a tax cut, but the result of a scandal ridden poorly managed bank.
You're doing the same thing Obama haters did back in the Obama days, and that's for pinning every imaginable company failure solely on the policies of the party in power.
Boy you must have some fund manager, because this year is a wash so far....
2017 Dow Jones +25%
2018 Dow Jones +4.94
Now take a look at 2016 vs now.
Is there a reason you're not faulting the Federal Reserve raising interest rates as having any implication here?
We all have our biases, but you have to understand that you're only seeing one side of the picture and hearing just one side of the story. Take a couple steps back a bit. Do like I do and read both Fox News and CNN. (not BoingBoing.net)

Oh, so Trump's Tariffs/other gaffs didn't cause the market to tank, multiple times? I'd never read Fox News. It's propaganda. I also rarely ever read CNN. So many other places to get news.

I'm not a fan of Trump's statesmanship but that doesn't mean I don't think his ideas are outlandish.
Like it or not the economy is doing well, stocks are not suffering, wages have increased, and I think his overall ambition is on the right track.
You can find plenty of fault there if you'd like, but likewise there is no denying the benefits. Manufacturing jobs are growing and wages are growing.
Trump isn't my first choice as I actually appreciate a skilled politician who can get things done while making all their opponents think they have a good deal while their electorate benefits, but there is no denying things are getting done or at least headed on the right track. My hope is that Democrats actually do what the political process was designed for and attempt to win back their own voter base. You neglect a voter base, they vote for the other guy. Simply not being that guy isn't good enough.
Probably not. I was thrilled to see Cunningham win, but it's very easy to read too much into this one race. It was primarily an Arrington loss rather than a Democratic win. She ran a hateful campaign with dumb positions that did not resonate well with her district. Up here, we have the "Rep Tom Rice" campaign model. He smiles a lot, acts nice (dull), and talks for hours without ever taking a position on anything except to say "I am a Republican". It works perfectly for him every election, regardless of the opponent. If she had adopted the Tom Rice model, it is likely we would have been hearing a far more magnamimous concession speech, but coming from Joe Cunningham.
If she had used the Tom Rice model she would have never ever beaten Sanford. She was caught in a catch 22.
