No they weren't. The tax bill was just a last ditch effort to try and hold off the inevitable.

Let them take some major hits in the market then see how much they still like trump.
They were just as tied to Obama or we would not be in this place to start with. His largest contributors were Wall Street.

The S&P continues to drop in after hours trading and is now down 6% on the day. S&P is a much broader index than the Dow, and no matter how you want to spin it, a six percent drop in a day is a big deal.

Today was a bad day in the market for sure, but nowhere near "the largest stock market drop ever"

The market was NOT down. Any attempt to suggest otherwise is fake news.

All economic indicators are overwhelmingly positive, new corporate rate will be on next quarters earnings. Me thinks this is the big boys shaking out the little guys and getting in on a 15-25% discount before next quarters earnings.

It takes courage but this month could present a great buying opportunity

This is a shift of money from Wall St. to Main St.
Very doubtful. For many reasons.
