BS! Stock Market lived off of printed/deficit-based Omnibus money and not real and tangible productivity. Take that money away and the SM loses half their supposed 'value'.

It's rigged, just like the elections and the courts, and MAGA knows it. They'll blame the crash on Trump but it was coming either way. That is the Left's game, tear it down in order to "fundamentally change" it.

Thin air. That’s not value that “went somewhere", it’s reflective of predicted future earnings.

It is absolutely value lost. That doesn’t mean it can’t be earned again. I’m behind Trump 100% on this, but I’m not delusional.

Soo... If Trump had just shorted the market he could have paid off a quarter of the national debt in a week...

WHAT WAS HE THINKING!

But Trump said the stock market would be booming if he was elected.

That's what happens when finally someone says enough and is fixing BS trade laws we've let other countries get away with. This isn't something that was F'd up overnight and Trump can't fix it overnight.

It’s not over. Did it boom under Reagan? Hell yes it did! Was it booming at this point in Reagan’s first term? No it wasn’t.

I honestly cannot comprehend economic principles, KO, but I always knew that there would be a price to pay for importing all those cheaper goods from abroad. I admire the Chinese youth working hard hours and sending the money to their poor family in the country, as both morally and in a free trade competition they outperform spoiled Americans.

I hold great hope that High Tech can solve Humanities' problems of poverty and pain, but it may only create more painful scenarios. Since my only ultimate consolation and extended reasoning is Faith-based, I probably just ought to leave the economic stuff to the Pros. Assuming that the Pros don't hold their own biases and ulterior, selfish motives.

Think I'll just watch the guys in the Final Four. That stuff is raw and real.

Doesn’t mean the other 99% aren’t materially affected. With that attitude, expect the Dems to take control back in the midterms, unless Don rigs it (which looks likely)

We have a bunch of Gen z on the board. The Market goes up and Down. This is a political drop because Wall Street is Mad at Trump. The market is actually not bad considering. But to worry about your 401 K when you are 35 is Hallarious.

Tru. But what does that mean? Did you gain anything from that? Did you sell all of your stock?
If you didn’t then it doesn’t matter

I mean he literally said he would end inflation and lower prices day one. He’s done the opposite. It’s ok to disagree and be critical of your dear leader.

He’s doing a shite job. I hope he figures it out but I don’t have high hopes.

When it bottoms out Buffett will throw his 500 billion back in and create a bull market run, it’s just not time yet.
