It will get better once the effects of Trump's economic policies start kicking in.

3-4% gdp growth even for just a few years would be terrific given the current size of the U.S. economy (largest in the world). But even 2% would be stable economic growth.

Your answer proves you can't reply to my points. The economy is in good shape now because of what was done in the past. Not because of what Trump has done now. If you are going to take up bandwidth you might actually construct an argument.

We will see, but I tend to doubt it.

I say thank you to the "truth tellers" I've given thumbs up to many, but can't give it to each of their comments that speak of the truths that need to be said, and that are being said. "Thank You" Each......

He has damaged International Diplomacy in ways that is absurd, in how "his followers can't see the devastation he is generating".
Trump has no Plan... he an Aim, and that Aim is set on "one thing" and that it get "tax concession and reduction" because the man has demonstrated his whole life, that he "detest paying taxes" !!!!!
The second agenda is the pursuit of popularity and notoriety to feed his over blown sense of self. He further detest regulation, because his sense of self, thinks he should be able to "do anything he wants, "without" any oversight. He's demonstrated that by his continual assaults on our Courts, Justices, the FBI and the Intelligence Community, and any Organization of Committee that promotes principles and standards, he has taken a sledge hammer to the Ethic's until the head had to quit, so he can wage the defense of Ethic from Outside this Wrong Way Administration. The extent and depth of the foreign collusion is so intertwined, that it will expose much and many will be running for cover before its all over and there will be many trying to cut deals, to make their own lips flap in hopes to avoid the penalty of hard time. One thing the wealthy fear most ... is "Jail".... they fear Jail more than they fear sinning and even more than they fear the wrath of God.
"when the most prominent things trump has done is create confusions, conflicts, disruptions, disrespect, disregard and fiction to delude those whom he knows he can delude."

As they say , beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

I always hear conservatives like Larry Kudlow stating how important a strong dollar is. Not a peep now that under Trump the dollar is falling against other currencies.

The currency market is much larger than the stock market and presidential polices have a greater impact there than the stock market. So if Trump claims success in one he should own the drop in the other also.

I am not sad. Who are these liberals you speak of?

I have had a nice run up on my portfolio since 2009 and I do not plan on any overseas travel where the weaker dollar will hurt me.

I also am never 100% sure that a strong or weak dollar is better, I want a staple dollar against other currencies. It was always conservatives like Larry Kudlow who were pushing for policies that created a strong dollar. With the dollar down against the Euro he should express his concern
