The Dow futures market went way down during the night of the election. They were worried about trade.

They are assuming that Trump is not actually going to do some of the more extreme things he claimed while running. There are still no specifics on what Trump will actually do on a whole range of issues.

Let's not the facts get in the way of a good story!
Those are still not big moves over the long term (or even short term).

Because the same Hillary shills who kept saying she was going to win by a landslide were trying to scare people that the market would crash if Trump won. It had nothing to do with fact and everything to do with media bias and partisanship.

In this morning's paper.

The Dow Jones Industrial average surpassed 19,000 for the first time Tuesday as a post-election rally drove indexes further into record territory.



The Hilderbeastians hate to see this.

Correct. He is systematically backing away from every major campaign promise, and the world is breathing a sigh of relief. Yesterday he even reversed his view on climate change. Yesterday it was Chinese propaganda, and today he said its probably man made.

The prospect of massive spending increases financed with deficits, unimaginable tax cuts for the wealthy, repatriation of corporate cash leading to dividends and buybacks, higher interest rates for the banks, increased health care, especially pharma, profits, a free hand to re-leverage. What's not to love? It's a Wall Street wet dream.

Trump's promise of deficit funded infrastructure rebuilding has provided an opportunity for those speculating in the associated industries. For instance steel is up 25%.

The economic doom-gloomers predicted a recession in about 2 years if Trump enacts his economic policies, but yes, at first his spending boom will help Wall Street. It is definitely a short term plan just to make him look good. The country needs a long term plan. Ron Paul was shaking his head while talking about Trumps plans, because less revenue with massive spending can only mean one thing.
