Republicans sell this as helping main Street and corporations, but we both know, as you've stated, they will use that repatriated money on dividends and buybacks, not employing people or creating jobs. Corporations are already sitting on record cash as it is. And this bill is totally tilted towards the corporate rate cut

It's just bad timing.....this wouldve made more sense in a recession and it's going to raise the debt like crazy. Personally, I think individual cuts would've helped stimulate the demand side more of the equation, rather than focusing on corporate cuts

Well duh, that’s true for anything, things dont go up forever.

Yes and tens of millions of Americans have money invested in the market one way or the other. This is where the media is misleading the public. If you work at Mc Donalds, yeah you won’t see much difference. If you work for a conpany that offers a 401k you definetly will benefit from a booming stock market. I’m tired of this hand out mentality where everything needs to be given. Anybody can invest in the stock market. Instead of spending money getting lit every weekend or buying packs of cogarettes, you could invest it in a market ETF like SPY or VTI. You just need a couple hundred dollars to buy a share. You don’t have to be a millionaire. With that being said, I do believe there will be more jobs, most Americans will pay less in taxes, corporations will have more confidence to expand and grow.

I think making incentives for corporations to bring back the mountains of cash from overseas is a great idea. Remember the wealth gap got the worse under Obama. Liberal cities tend to also have the worst wealth gap as well. We were showing real signs of stagnation during the end of Obama’s second term because we knew we couldn’t keep kicking the can down the road with QE. If Trump’s economic push didn’t happen, I strongly believe we wouldn’t have seen these gains and I think the future will be even better even though we are at the typical end of a economic cycle. Hopefully by the time the next recession comes, interest rates won’t be so low so we can lower them to stimulate growth again.

Both parties spend money, the way I see it, Republicans you get less taxes, Democrats you get more pet projects. I’d rather pay less in taxes. Now when it comes to social issues, I side with Democrats although since the election they have gone too far left for my taste to the point where they blantantly say, if you can sneak into the country illegally we got your back!

Both political parties are totally inept big time, this is why we need impose term limits for all members of congress.

Not bashing Trump, he knows what he is doing, but most of his supporters are straight up idiots. And no, I don't dislike the guy. Just calling it as it is. He is 2016s white Obama.
except unlike nobama, trump did something that no other president has ever done, he got America out of the terrible trans pacific partnership,

To be fair that's been going on since Reagan and no expert thinks the tax plan will improve that lmao. Quite the opposite

Like? Obama had several quarters of 3%+ GDP growth during his time in office. He also managed to triple the djia off the bottom before leaving office after taking over the gop-induced great recession.

Republicans gave Greenspan free reign and repealed the glass Steagall act in 1999, even if slick willy did sign it.

Bottom line, there is a demand problem in the economy and corporate tax cuts won't fix that. Let's see what the averages look like in 2020 and beyond. I'm at 35% cash right now and growing and I've been investing for years also

Who cares about 2020 and beyond when it's still 2017. I think 2018 will be a great year. And talking about the bull market and Trump having nothing to do with the first time in history we see the index positive all 12 months, well most likely as there are still more trading days this month, here is a screenshot I just took. We were range bound for almost two years at the end of Obama's second term because the economy was showing mixed signals and the time was getting over for QE/stimulus. See attachment

Like I said...buy the rumor, sell the news.

Housing prices could only go up in 2006 as well. Lots of hopium out there. Hope you've got some long dated puts

I trade using moving averages for the most part, if the index goes below the 200 day, I close positions and buy the inverse, which is better than owning losing positions in a bull market.

I'll say it again, the GOP is about to shatter right before our very eyes. We are about to live through history. Some of you will be left behind.
You were wrong about that.
