It's almost as if it doesn't matter who the president is.

That is a very perceptive post. In todays world so for so many people if someone disagrees with you they are wrong and not worth the trouble to listen to. Respect for someone else's views has disappeared and puts us all in the same frame of mind as a terrorist where the end justifies the means.

Remember in 2009 when the DOW was
going up under Obama, and the press
latched onto it as absolute proof
that the economy was going gangbusters?

Of course you don't..


I see my point went well over your head.

The DOW is not a good economic indicator. If the press or Trump or the Dems want to use it, go right ahead. It still doesn't make it actually mean much to those who follow the markets, and want to know where things are really headed (in this case, the Dow and reality match).

Your points never go over anybody's head.
The DOW can be an indicator if you want it
to be, which the press did in 09 and are
ignoring today. I watched CNN and MS
and it was never mentioned.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Lousy or not, the Dow is what makes the news.
The President is a fink.

Well clearly it went over yours, you just think it didn't.

So lets just add it to the list of things you were wrong about, shall we?

Nope. For many the DOW is an indicator, that
you disagree doesn't change it.

Correct - for righties, the DOW became an indicator on Nov. 9, 2016.

The 8 years before Nov. 9th? Not so much.
