I'm not sure if this is a pattern or not, but "Russia" seems to be rather great for the U.S. economy.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 3 straight record highs ending this week. The S&P 500 also hit an all-time record high. Ahhh.. Good times.

Could Trump be more of a genius then we think he is?

He does have a flair for dramatics and cliff hangers from his years of doing reality TV so keeping everyone on edge and guessing stirs up controversy and ratings.

He is doing wonders for TV news shows, talk shows and radio and now Wall Street.

He is making America Great Again from the inside out and the Dems don't even realize it.
Warren and Sanders must be flipping out because they hate Trump and Wall Street.

What's especially attention-getting is that the VIX, which measures potential volatility in the market, is at historic lows. On Friday, closed at its lowest non-holiday level ever. When Clinton impeachment was on the table, VIX spiked to around 50. Now, it's 9 and change (higher number, higher implied volatility). So it appears the market is 100% discounting even the slightest chance of Trummp going anywhere.

Because it is a big money grab before the end.

That is all the presidency and congress has become a big money grab.

Putin hacked the economy.
Sanders and Warren are powerless pawns of the KGB who won't call for a special prosecutor to look into it for fear of being discovered.

Because there is money in destruction, disorder, and chaos.

Anytime Banks and Wall Street are overly excited, I'd heed caution. These numbers are artificially inflated, and a massive recession is expected again.

I don't trust Wall Street one bit, so random, artificial hikes in the stock market with no legitimate cause should be a concern.

I agree, and a lot of this country is still in recovery from the last recession.

Nearly ten years without a full recovery and another recession on the horizon. I wonder how that happens when we spend so much and double the debt to stop it ?

Trump is irrelevant is what that says. He is just a loud-mouthed distraction His swamp thing appointees are running the show along with Ryan and McConnell.
