No. If bigger dividends are anticipated, or stock buybacks, or lower labor costs, then the market advances to reflect the better earnings potential. Of course, now that the uncertainity is over (we won't get a wall funded), the tightness in the labor market should abate and, with it, the amount of money needed to pay the peasant class should likewise retreat.

Your best stocks both pay dividends and increase in value.

It’ll be far worse than it has EVER been and since you are incapable of seeing/understanding THAT, no amount of my explaining it to you will help to wake you up...so I shan’t bother to.

C’mon, turn that frown upside down. You are being way too gloomy. As far as investments go plan on seeing new records set regularly. As far as Democrats go plan on seeing insanity on parade for 2 years.

You are asking me to grow up??? I was around for that crash. I’m most likely older than you. I see absolutely no reason for a market crash for the next 12-24 months minimum.

What generation were you born into?

I rather doubt that you are older than I am.

Re the CRASH OF '87...were YOU on the floor of an EXCHANGE?

Do you know what triggered it? Hint, hint...I do.

Markets go up and markets go down; however, when machines/computer programs replaced the human element, it has detracted from rational "thinking"! It's why there are so many IRRATIONAL, WILD swings now.

And I didn't mention a "crash" being in our immediate future, though one in October 2020 wouldn't surprise me.

I’m 60, and I said “around”, not “on the floor of an exchange”. And when the Dow is at 26,000 400 or 500 points is no big deal.

And no, I am not in the least interested in why you think the market crashed.

Okay, kid, you lost your guess. LOL

No, you didn't claim to be on any Exchange floor; I was asking you several different queries, by which to gauge your background/knowledge.

ROTFLMSO...oh puuuulllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeze, do try to tell me something relevant! Of course the highly inflated DOW numbers and the seemingly ( to the uneducated ) daily losses or up ticks don't matter in comparison to earlier numbers, which were greater because of the percentage the ups and downs were to the much smaller DOW figures.

Am NOT going to explain ( I do keep my real life to myself and off threads ); however, you just ran into a wall and should just stop now, before you embarrass yourself further.

What bankers and investors love most about a Congress divided by different majorities in each house is for at least two years they can relax about facing any new big changes coming at them or the business community in general. For at least two years their biggest concerns will not be coming from Washington D.C., where it will mostly be a status quo.
