...This dichotomy is reflected in the markets today. We are seeing the stock market reach record highs on hopes of lower taxes, less regulation and big government spending, while the bond market (usually the smarter market) is seeing increased interest rates, a reflection of the risk in Trump's strategy...

I am not certain why this bozo thinks the bond market is "usually the smarter market", but for the pat 100 years long term stock returns have been better than bond returns.

And, the reason bonds are seeing higher interest rates is the Fed raising rates, which is not because of the "risk in Trump's strategy." I suspect the Fed is about to go to war with DJT and try to kill the recovery he is trying to give us. Epic battle. I am rooting for Trump.

You nailed it. It’s the fed jerking the rate up. There’s going to be a recession or depression next year the only question is how fast Trump can pull us out of it. If he gets us out of it quickly then we’ll win a super majority in both houses in 2020.
