Is the OP giving credit to Trump for today's increase? If so, does the OP assign blame for Trump for all the losses recently?
Blue Wave is taking place soon giving the market a confidence boost.

To answer the question, yes, of course, Individual 1 supporters shout from the rooftop when the market increases. Then they are stone silent when it plunges. We have seen more of the first scenario.

Boo-hoo.

The market goes up and down all the time. People sell off and then they look for good buys.

Trump (and his followers) love to point out Wall Street. Big deal. As for the doom and gloom, it’s just to trigger and annoy Trump and his followers.

Trump wants people to spend on cheap debt to make himself look good. He’s been whining about the Fed now.

Sometimes I think Trump is the biggest toddler-snowflake of all.

Yeah, I checked. Down big time for YTD. Beside that, we should have been up the normal amount (10% of more)...

So taking 25K last Jan...adding 10%=27.5K which would be "decent" and not "MAGA GREAT"......yet we are powering through 23K and people start threads about it??

No one (at least no sane person or investor) wants a market crash. But Trump cannot keep his mouth shut.

As said previously by 007, thank the blue wave.
If filling up half the board with threads about the stock market crash was not celebrating, then what was it for? You guys couldn't wait to jump on your keyboards to post on the day's 500 point drop but now are playing dumb. Who? me? Yeah, YOU.

Sorry to say the most popular threads on the subject were started a year ago claiming how great Trump was because the DOW went through 21, 22, 23, 24 and then 25K. Now it's been a year and it went nowhere...and now it is quite far down.

The OPs in those cases need a bit of schooling. Over the year it was now "dow up, dow down" but rather Dow sideways due to the King of Debt and Tariff King. Now it is down because of his continuing chaos...he does not inspire confidence.

It may go up in spite of him....or, it may not. Having a loose cannon at the helm is not a good thing for our economy.

Because nothing has changed between two days ago and today.
I rarely agree with you but you hit this one dead on it is almost like 3 stooges logic but it gives us some entertainment.

The amount of the drop in such a short span of time was a rare and scary occurrence, whether you will admit it or not. So yeah, we were talking about it, but rest assured, those of us who have 401(k)s were not celebrating. Quite the opposite.

It is you who is playing dumb here. Who, me? YEAH, YOU.

Ha, sounds like you've got it.
