I'm thinking the level of maturity could be raised on this thread.

A complete mental health evaluation would be a good place to start when claiming paranoia which is a serious condition closely related to delusions. Its treatable with both therapy and medication.


Paranoia - What Is Paranoia - Signs of Paranoia

Paranoia can become delusions, when irrational thoughts and beliefs become so fixed that nothing (including contrary evidence) can convince a person that what they think or feel is not true. When a person has paranoia or delusions, but no other symptoms (like hearing or seeing things that aren't there), they might have what is called a delusional disorder. Because only thoughts are impacted, a person with delusional disorder can usually work and function in everyday life, however, their lives may be limited and isolated.

Treatment of paranoia is usually via medication and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Remember if you see something, say something. Safety first !!!

Dow futures up 249 points. Hopefully, the market will regain some of its loses for the month. I think it is a short day for the market also (like Christmas Eve was, thankfully).

Stocks closed with losses not seen since the great recession - around 6% over the year. This in a year where tax cuts to the rich and, especially, corporations should have produced a bonanza. Two years into the Trump administration we are realizing historic losses in the markets and staring down a global recession.

A small data point to add......

in the 21 months since taking office, there are about 4 million new jobs.
In the last 21 months of Obama, there were 4.5 million new jobs.

One would really have to reach to say that Trump is responsible for the greatest boom in history...as he himself claims.

I'm actually doing a bit of buying because I believe Trump may get defanged soon and at least decent companies may be worth holding. Some dividend stocks have been beaten down.....getting over 7% on AT&T does not sound like a bad deal.

Of course, your quoted post is correct. If Trump did nothing...no tax cuts, no cutting regulations so we can have more pollution and abuse of the consumer, etc......if he just sat there, we'd probably be doing better than we are.

There is absolutely no reason that the Obama bull market wouldn't have continued for a few years...or more.

Historic losses? What in the world are you talking about? Are you honestly comparing 2008 to 2018? Its not even close.

2008:
DJIA -33.84%
S&P 500 -38.49%
NASDAQ -40.54


2018:
DJIA -5.63%
S&P 500 -6.24%
NASDAQ -3.88
