Does Trump want to oversee a 50% drop in the market? Do CEOs and corporate execs want to see Democracts win back the Presidency and taxes raised out the gazoo. I think not.
I understand your thought process, but...
There is nothing Trump can do about it other than maybe act like a respectable president and tone down the war talk. Trump can stimulate the economy with a surge in infrastructure funding, but that will just overheat the economy even more, driving up inflation and thus interest rates, making it even more attractive to move out of stocks. The CEOs don’t care as long as they get their fat paychecks. If their company’s stock value goes down but business is good they will simply do a stock buy back.
People don’t have as much power as you think they do. The market doesn’t care.
In a way, I find him kind of amusing. Sort of like a guy in the park on a soapbox rambling on and on. And mothers walking by with their children pull them a bit closer as they pass.
Except for the fact that I was right and you're a *****. Keep losing money sucker.
The money we are down is about 1/3 the gains we had si ce the election .it is still moutains of money higher than your cd's produced .keep hanging in their withcyour cd's as your investments and we can compare again in a year

War is good for business in most cases. At least in the long run. Though, I won't disagree.. I think he and everyone else would be far better off if someone would take his Twitter away. I've got to believe that he's getting 10% lower approval ratings than he'd get if he'd lay off the Twitter.
Not looking at a middle eastern country, so no oil concerns.. Plus with all the US Oil now.. Even if it was.. well, no, oil prices would go nuts no matter what if it were a ME country.
The '08-'09 crisis remember you had bank and other failures coming out daily with that. Not seeing that now, and I don't think we will.. Other than.. I think you're going to see issues with some companies.. Sears, JC Penney.. Clear Channel (Or iHeartRadio or whatever they are now).. I could see this turning into something of a brick and mortar crash.. There's going to be some big name companies that are not going to survive.. But this has nothing to do with the stock market falling.. They might push it further down, but I can't see a whole lot. And those companies I mention are on their last legs anyway. Sears, especially.
I think this is people taking profits. Stepping back and taking a break.. Along with another set that's coming in trying to buy 'cheap'. And another set who are spooked that the world is coming to an end. There's a floor where those who are taking a break will jump back in and become the ones trying to buy cheap.
as I said.. Show me a 20-30 percent drop, and I might Chicken Little around with you. But at this point.. No real concerns.

Hmm. I’d be concerned with you betting on your portfolio beating even a CD over the next year, but over the next ten years, I can almost guarantee you will be well ahead. I guess we will see.
