Up 500+, right now.

Trump has not tweeted or commented in more than 18 hours.

The DOW is up 537 points at this time. All the markets are waaaay up!

NASDAQ is up more than the DOW, and oil's up more the NSADAQ

Are investors responding to the shutdown? Maybe they like less government?

Investors are responding to a comment from a Trump lackey that Trump is not going to fire the Fed chief. Think about that.

And your reasoning about why it's gone nowhere for the PAST YEAR before that?

C'mon, be reasonable (tough, I know).....Trump Chaos is the #1 reason - fear of the unknown. The markets could care less either way about a shutdown. A shutdown actually costs US vast amounts of money as the agencies have said just spooling down and then back up again is extremely costing and delays any decent projects and plans (infrastructure, etc.).

Way up? Wow, only down 10% from a YEAR ago (which is 20% or more below where it should be if we MADE 10% this year)...

Please - let's talk when it hits 28K which is OK, but still not great - that would represent about a 5% rate of growth for 20 years.

Exactly! If he did nothing - something a cat, dog or ape could do - we'd be OK. Maybe even better than OK.

But it's not about the economy. With Trump it is about chaos..and ultimately attention. The baby needs feeding, etc.

He cannot shut up so we just wait around for the next stupid move. Right now he won't come out to play because he's no longer King of all Government Branches.

The Dow dropped over 650 points Monday. It's not even up for the week yet, and it was down thousands before that. You may want to contain yourself.

Last week the markets tanked. It was the Democrat's fault. Today the markets are up. Trump is a genius.

Indeed, as so aptly put upthread, "you may want want to contain yourself"....

Repeat to yourself - until it sticks:
Relief Rally = Bull Trap
Relief Rally = Bull Trap
Relief Rally = Bull Trap
Relief Rally = Bull Trap
Relief Rally = Bull Trap
Relief Rally = Bull Trap
Relief Rally = Bull Trap
Relief Rally = Bull Trap
Relief Rally = Bull Trap
Relief Rally = Bull Trap
And, then, repeat again.

Dow has LOST - 18.9% in the past three months. This isn't ending today.

The only reason Trump hasn't lobbed another grenade is he and the missus are in IRAQ. When he gets back, the tantrums and firebombs resume.

Where is the OP PHMA to tell us how great Trump is on the economy!?
I'm right here :
President Trump is absolutely the greatest on the economy.


The OP has a life unlike a lot of the hair on fire liberal fearmongers who can't wait to tell us what the day was going to be like in the markets. They can't get one day right and they want people to take them serious on the economy and DOW.

What changed in the economy today. Quick get Chicken Little and have him/her give the report !!!


Armageddon they cry daily . Blame Trump for their own bad decision.

Can't manage their own accounts !!! Trump is pulling the levers in the markets from Iraq today, they say. Check with Chuck and Nancy, see what they can do !!! Fund the WALL !!!

Welcome back! The Dow bounced up so I am sure we all expected you to come back promptly for more crowing (until it slopes downward again). I can't tell if this whole thing is a parody or not, but either way, it's funny, so good job!
