Dear stock market and investors, you are making a mistake (unemployment, fast food)

What Trump's tweet fails to address is that in the "old days", the good news that could trigger an up market was about the companies stocks represented, in this era we have computers making thousands of trades per second based on the slightest of trends measured in fractions of a penny that have little to do with the actual health of the companies represented by those stocks.

The president should not be commenting on the stock market period.

This is a tad different.

He was elected in the midst of a then 7.5 year bull market, with momentum.

Nonetheless, Trump has taken nearly daily credit for it, since elected.

The pros continue to say it's a long overdue correction.

Markets are not rational and often dont react in ways that one expects.

It is all about the deep state.

Some who post to this forum are holding positions in tin foil.

That's not leadership.

Nor attacking business owners and their business. That's not his job. That's interfering...it just is.

And ironically the party of smaller govt doesn't seem to see any problems with a President clearly set on trying to bring down businesses that don't support his agenda or that he doesn't like.

There was a 8 trillion dollar run up. I would be more concerned if there wasn't a correction. And Trump is 100% correct, investors see rising wages and strong growth numbers possibly cutting off their cheap money.
