Yes it was.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average breaks through 26,000 on Tuesday, and the S&P 500 crosses 2,800. Both indexes, along with the Nasdaq, set record intraday highs but closing lower it looks like.

Maybe we will see some side way action on the price charts.

He could have done much better if he had been positive for growth.
When we hit Dow 42000 get back to us.

And of course some companies can throw a few bones back to some workers when they don't have to worry about following those burdensome safety regulations and legal requirements. It's now cheaper for them to throw out a one time bonus now that they don't have worry about paying injured workers or the taxes on the money they had parked overseas with this new round of corporate welfare.

When it hits 42,000 the goal post, will no doubt, be move again and be touted insignificant and the work of Obama too.

To fault any plan or bill that increases the earnings of workers is treasonous in the collective minds of Dems.
Their highest standard is achieved when they are taking the earnings from the workers and giving it to those who didn't earn it. Not satisfied to share their personal earnings, they seek by force of law, backed by the gun, to strip funds from citizens. The citizen is such an easy mark for the pickpocket Dems.

Surely the money will come back to the citizen in some way with a road or a bridge or a healthcare benefit, but no. That was the old way of thinking. The Dems have realized there are 7 billion people from all parts of the world who's needs are greater than the US citizen. The non citizen illegal in the US is a higher priority. The new way of thinking about what is possible. I give you the newly elected Democrat Governor of NJ and his plan for Agency for 'Defensive Protection' of Illegal Immigrants. Don't worry after the 7 Billion are taken care of, you dear citizen, MIGHT, be next.

And in Market News :

Dow closed above 26,000 TODAY

Outside influence of possible government shut down effected the stock market according to report.

Outside influences often effect the markets to some degree. A real shut down might and probably would have a bigger impact.

Homer and Paul Klugman are both economist.

Homer has the better record on economic predictions.

Did you keep silent while numerous stock market records were broken during the later years of the Obama presidency, because you hated him so much?
