Great opportunities to make money, and I'll stick with my standard disclaimer, Trump, Obama, Bush, or any of them...minimal if any impact on the markets, you are all being lied to.

I’m 95% in Techs mainly because I’ve been in IT FOREVER. I’ve done well (obviously). 3 days ago I got 90% outta the market. Nasdaq is down 5% in the last 5 days including 2% today. So, I’ve saved 4% in 3 days! Nasdaq is now up only ~8% YTD

Reasons why the Market is volatile/stagnant:

F’ing Moron’s (thanx Rex - I couldna said it better myself) tariffs w/China, which, of course has a lot to do w/techs. This trade war ain’t dying anytime soon, so, I’m sitting out for now. (97% of Senators are against these tariffs. P.Novarro, Director of White House Trade Council, proclaimed that “China won’t retaliate our tariffs.” Well, it took China ~10 minutes to retaliate, and they keep retaliating). Trump - aka “idiot/dope” (McMaster), aka “unhinged/idiot” (Kelly), aka “like 5th or 6th grader” (Mattis) - has no clue about tariffs

Rising interest rates due to heated economy. It’s debatable if cutting taxes stimulates the economy other than in short-term, but, does ANYONE believe that stimulating an already growing economy is a good-idea?? The Fed has to raise interest rates to prevent economy from over heating and to keep inflation in check. I don’t have an MBA from Wharton, but I know that rising interest rates cause the market to pause at best.

Trump is costing me Bigly $$$ - all he had to do is do nothing, and we’d all be better-off

Oh, and BTW, you do know who was president a year ago right?

Hint: It wasn't Obama.
So what is your point ? I made mine. Show us where Obama had a 3500 point gain.

Look up your own chart online. This isn't a investor babysitting thread.

What about the Fed ? You think they have any control ? Interest rates ?

That's what is getting the blame by a lot of financial media.
