I'm shocked that turtledick, MrV and others on the left here did not post this :S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite close at fresh records ... today.


"Shocked," you say?

You'd be even more "shocked" had the market not been temporarily lobotomized by the Iran Fiasco.

By now it would probably be a helluva lot higher than it is now, given the AI mania now fueling the market.

DOW would be at 55k with Harris as President
It's a no brainer
No war. No tarriffs. Low gas prices. Win win win 😉


Talk about moving the goalposts! This thread is ‘market crashing’, and now that it hasn’t, let’s just live in a fantasy world that the market would be doing better in a Harris administration. The market would have plummeted the day she was elected, and perhaps would have eventually recovered. No way to know. But it is LAUGHABLE that Ed thinks he can KNOW what the Dow would be if Harris had won!

Like Ed, I do worry about Trump effing things up! But I also am confident in the resiliency and upward nature of the markets, no matter who is President. MrV keeps touting that this is an AI driven market! Does he for ONE SECOND think if the Dims controlled Presidency/Senate/House there wouldn’t be additional crushing regulations hamstringing the businesses that are on the AI forefront?

Ed says ‘most Americans are suffering’ do to higher gas prices! Most? Suffering? Talk about a drama queen! I’d say most Americans would prefer to pay lower gas prices, but are adjusting accordingly.


If what you say is true, then why do markets and GDP growth do better under Dem Presidents than GOP Presidents, since at least 1992?


Trump 1, 7.8 trillion increase in national debt.
Biden 8.4 trillion increase in national debt.

And a bunch of the Trump increase was to stupid giveaways to non working people and businesses. Due to COVID. ALL Presidents since Obama are saddled with the hundreds of billions of dollars of Obamacare, which essentially is just a direct add to the debt year after year since neither side was willing to raise taxes to pay for it.

As per usual you miss my point. In general, I too have a ‘negative approval’ rating for Trump. Don’t you find it stunning that 2/5 Americans don’t!!! There has been one time in the past 2 years where there was an actual VOTE on his approval rating. His was higher than the sitting Vice President. I AGREE with you that his actions will likely result in a Democrat controlled House, and maybe even Senate, in 2027. But there is still PLENTY of time before then.
Market up today. Israel/Lebanon truce. Maybe ‘war’ end in Iran. If your all important (to terapined, the mobile home guy!) gas prices come down before people go to the ballot box, who knows?

Trump's mantra: "A grifter always grifts."

Everything the fat oaf does he does for two purposes:

1) To keep his fat ass out of jail, and

2) to increase his wealth.

This sociopath uses the American people as both pawns and a urinal.
