Sort of.

The Dow does have about 50% of the population investing in it.

The thing is, about 50% of the population, doesn’t have a dime in the Dow.

Those are the people, who really need help. And they don’t seem to be getting it at the moment.

Just gobs, and gobs, of stuff in every store, which is Made in China.

People who think the stock market is a measure of economic health are amusing but dangerously ignorant of why it failed to reflect Obama’s disastrous economic record.

Except this implies that FDR was successful with saving the economy, and he wasn’t, since he indeed made the Depression worse and long-lasting. It took over 2 decades to recover.

What goes up...

The faster the increase, the closer it is to major correction.

If I was Trump, I wouldn’t be bragging about the Stock Market...when it comes back down, he will wear that albatross.

Which has killed our bond index funds, a primary investment for us as retirees. We couldn't stomach the stock market by the mid 2000s, so we bailed on the stock market in late 2007 (at the time, great market timing, albeit unplanned).

Those investments were ahead of what a 60/40 stock/bond mix would have been until late 2016. Since Trump's election, they have fallen way behind, getting clobbered since the beginning of 2018, but at this stage, have no urge to chase returns.

“You’ve got lower taxes, less regulation and confidence in the economy is high,”

All of which is thanks to Obama./s

The Dow's 31% gain during Trump's first year is the best since FDR!

As well as the Libs, Dems, Triggly Puff, Sandra Fluke...

And FDR started at the point of near-total collapse.

Wasn’t the Dow supposed to plunge because Trump was elected?

Boy, when this bubble bursts, it will be like Mt. Saint Helens going up. This thing cannot keep going like this. This may be the bomb that destroys the world’s economies in these Last Days of history. The Bible tells us that bad things are coming. No mention of America in the Scriptures in these Last Days. Something happens to the USA. No one really knows what. Attacks from Russia, China, Iran, NK, with EMP blasts? Probably the economic bomb takes down America. The Harpazo itself can cause that. If you do not KNOW Him personally, I urge you to seek Him out. We do not know when that time will be, but when it happens, it is too late. Anyone left behind after the Harpazo will be left to do it all on his/her own. The Holy Spirit will not be here to indwell you and keep you safe. Please do it now friends if you do not have a personal relationship with the LORD.
