Except that stocks went up for about seven years during his years.
Rates began to climb in 1973 and peaked in 1979-80 at 20% to fight double- digit inflation.
Rate declined to 1% in 2003.
Lowest rate hit 0.25 in December, 2008 where it remained until December, 2015. It was raised by 0.25 in December, 2016. Rates were increased 3x in 2017 and as projected, 4 times in 2018. Each increase was as expected, 0.25%
Dow gained while the rate increased by accumulative 2.25% between December, 2015-2017.
A rate between 2-5% is considered a healthy economy.
You do realize that it was liberals who gleefully gloated about the stock market drop in an effort to attack Trump right?
Or are you only aware of hypocrites who don't vote like you?
Only after fearless leader took credit for rising stock prices virtually every day after he became President--and than said nothing when they declined.
The "biggest market gain" was only an one day relief from the trade war threat, and most of it was wiped out the day after. That's not something to brag about.
Tax cut is good to boost economy. However, that's just one time and it could be harmful from budget deficit standpoint. Trade war is clearly bad for economy though.
It just shows craving for credit of anything, with bad things happening.

Meanwhile, rates on 5 and 10 year T-notes are about 2.6% and 2.7% respectively. Not exactly major enticements to get people out of stocks and into fixed income. So obviously something is going on with the markets besides the moderate Fed rate hikes.

The yield curve hasn't been right. What's the sign, crash? Money is flowing out of financial market. This is all politics made disaster that ruined a good economy. Tax cut does not always work with all the manmade disasters.
This is a multiple choice poll children. Feel free to choose one or all.
A reasoned response to your choice(s) would be welcomed.
Mine is Trump and smart investors. I have openly stated that this would be a huge fire sale and that you should have invested in this downturn. Nearly 1 TRILLION in retail sales in less than 2 months. A staggering record because of our strong economy.
Sorry if that flew over your heads.
The 401k isn't looking as bad as it did 3 days ago, eh? Oh wait, you sold out to cut your losses? OOPS, sucks to be you.
