When companies like facebook are worth more than those actually making thingsnand employing many times as many people you know the balloon has too much hot air in it.

The economy is in a shambles. Have any if you obama lovers bothered to look at the debt? Of course, since so many obama lovers are on the dole, what is not to like?

That's what many people still don't get. Business is transitioning to a new physical dimension (the World Wide Web), any business who can dominate this new dimension is going to be highly profitable.

The new way of business is now over the Net, not in physical form. More people bank online than go to branches. More people buy things online than at the local mall. The future of commerce is here, and it is abstract and digital.

That's why statement like the one above is highly ignorant. The Internet connects the entire world (literally!) and Facebook is monopolizing the Internet, and by default the world! Imagine being the only social company for the entire world! That's why FB are worth so much more than your AT&T or whatever business that doesn't have a presence worldwide and is not a monopoly.

How does the national debt affects business?? Answer: Not much. That's why businesses continues to have record profit despite the national debt.

Debt in and of itself is neither good nor bad, it's how you use the debt that matters. We've been going into debt to fuel our economy which is exactly how you're supposed to do coming out of the Great Recession and it worked!

The stock market has been good since Brexit, which OZero opposed. OZero couldn't run a profitable Kool-Aid stand.

This thread is rich. When the economy is bad the LeftNuts say Presidents don't control the economy, when it is "supposedly" good they say it is because of his policies. They say profit driven big business is all the evil and then love to point to their profits to say the economy is doing so well. What an INSANE bunch of hypocrites.

I suggest you invest in value stocks then.

Is it a coincident that it goes up when Trump's number goes down? A future without Trump as the POTUS is one where the stock market likes.

And of course, none of it would be possible without Obama's recovery.

You guys are joking right??? You think just because you're doing great it's a recovery. A recovery is not 1% growth rate!!!!! There is NO recovery!!! It's the lowest growth rate since 1940.

I need to stop reading these posts! It's driving me crazy!

La La La La La La ... I can't hear you!


Go Trump!
Haha, if we live in a bubble and only hear what conservatives say about America today, we'd think that people are dying of starvation in the streets, the cities are on fire, and white people are being routinely put in chains by minorities.

Under Obama, I've been prospering. Everyone in my family have been prospering with Obama at the helm. My company is more profitable than ever before.

Thanks, Obama!
