Most Americans hardly know that the “market” is anything other than the DJIA.
It will sour for globalists. It will rise for people wise enough to invest in America.
I don’t.
I still support Trump, but my sense is that Wall Street will stamp its feet, hold its breath and turn blue if the Cheap Labor Express is derailed.
All good in the long run.
I don’t care about the stock market. I care about the economy that the average American has been struggling under for the last 8 years. And that’s where Trump will shine.
Since Trump started his back to back wins in the primaries, the markets had erased the red re markets as of this week.
I have no idea what today’s terrorist action will do. Often that action drives money to America and our markets.
I suspect that the powers that be will spend their every waking moment of a Trump administration attempting to sow as much doubt, discord, and economic mischief as they can get away with.
All things considered...
If it’s this important to make sure Trump isn’t elected president...
...then it’s vitally important the U. S. doesn’t thrive under him!
This nation will be savaged for four years to prove once and for all Trump’s ideas are the cause of it all.
Net Worth of Ten Billion Dollars sort of indicates that he understands the basics of how the economy and international trade works. A much more meaningful resume point than being a Chi-Town "Community Organizer" who made his cash through shakedowns, graft and kickbacks, or first bitch of a small crooked southern state who made a "killing" in cattle futures, while amassing a real body count.
I don’t know. Not because Trump will have bad economic policies, rather, the powers that be will fight him on taxes, and particularly monetary policy
If you think the GOPe is bad - just wait to see what happens if Trump confronts our monetary mandarins.
I dunno. Most every President takes a recession, and often they like to get it over with early in their terms so things are rebounding and “looking good”, comparatively speaking, when the next election comes around.
Many of Trump’s stated tax policies are stimulative; the question is where (and whether ) the cuts will come on the spending side.
Remember, Obama has expanded the Federal government by at least 25%, plus larded a bunch of mandates on business and the states. The states haven’t been standing still either—show me the ones who have cut back the size of their government.
Shrinking the number of overcompensated government employees—even if it’s possible—will cause all kinds of economic dislocations in the short term.
I think the stock market would soar - to all time highs no less.
But not before the excesses and dislocations have been allowed to run their course. Mighty painful and many casualties along the way, but there’s no other way.
But a renewed America will rise from the ashes stronger and radiating with justified optimism not seen since Ronald Reagan.
Then Megyn Kelly will get on the air and try to convince everyone she was in The Donald’s corner all along...
I actually expect the opposite, for a short time, if he does what he’s promised to do. There needs to be a massive correction, combined with the $$$ printing press being shut down, and the cheap labor eliminated. It could be a wild ride, if he does what he claims he’s going to do.
I think the market will explode under Trump. There is so much pent-up demand that has just been idling, waiting for the obama nightmare to be over, that any business-friendly president (read “conservative”) will cause the dam to burst. Companies are cash rich, technology is advancing, and people are tired of being poor. It’s the same kind of “malaise” Jimmy Carter created, and a conservative president will stimulate the market just like Ronald Reagan did.
Ping!

There is no fixing this economy. There is no fixing the dollar.
Think dead man walking.
Just has not fallen down yet.
Not! As soon as he takes office they’ll jack up interest rates causing a crash so they can blame him for it.
I have watched the Dow Jones with interest, since Donald entered the race.
When he was first in the race, it seemed the market went every which way, but up. It went straight down, for quite a while. Down, down, down.
Then recently, it turned around. It is now back up. I’m not exactly sure why, but Trump seems as strong or stronger then he did originally, so the market seems to like the idea of a Trump presidency.
If Donald’s program gets passed, over a trillion dollars which has been warehoused off shore will come home. Talk about a shot of stimulus. His reelection in 2020 will be a 57 state sweep.
I really don’t give a damn about “the market”.
I watched Cavuto grind his teeth for months complaining about how low oil prices were hurting Americans.
Bullcrap. It hurts speculators, and may hurt someone’s portfolio (it hasn’t hurt mine one bit, but it should have according to Cavuto).
Low oil prices help business owners like me, who when gas was $5 a gallon had a monthly fuel cost bill of over 20k. I bid on jobs sometimes a year in advance, and I have to guess what gas will cost. For nearly 2 years I took it on the chin because of inflated gas prices.
I had to stop bidding on larger projects that required more than a few pieces of heavy machinery because of gas prices, there were too many people low balling those bids, and I learned my lesson.
The average guy driving 30 miles to work, who is making $14 an hour is not getting hurt by low gas prices, he’s being helped.
So, when they talk about “the markets” I just don’t really give a damn. I’m more concerned about Americans, like my kids, who refuse to ask for money, but when I go to their homes to visit, they have half empty fridges, are working as much as they can, can’t get their cars fixed and are struggling to pay babysitters while they are at work.
My kids age group don’t have “portfolios”. They have bills and need more and better American jobs.
Low oil prices produce those things they need. The “markets” be damned.
