Dead. Cat. Bounce.
Democrats didn’t succeed in lying the nation into an economic depression?
Soros still sleeping off the Christmas party. Forgot to trigger the sell programs.
Lots of sad faces out there in cable land today, I’ll bet.
That’s right, no economic depression. Only the puppet masters messing with the market.
Best Christmas sales in years, with everyone I know fully employed... No reason for the market drop that low....
Buy Low sale high, invest long term, not for next month/year.
Naturally. Because everything that caused a 15% decline in the last 3 months has gone away. Everything is awesome again. I’d like to meet the idiot that bought today because Trump said all is well. I’d say todays gain evaporates in a few days...maybe there’s a 10% rally in the next few weeks or months. But it’ll be down below 20K by June.
I just read U.S. Holiday Retail Sales Are Strongest in Years, Early Data Show.
There are a lot of forces trying to undermine the US economy, most for political reasons, but at some point, the money makers will not sit on the sidelines and let others profit in the market.
Bottom feeders nibbling today. I am seeing Dow well below 20,000 in 2019. Tax cuts no longer possible with democrats in charge of House. And not many regulations left to remove. And we must keep tariff wars active for the sake of future American jobs in manufacturing.
Europe still has very low interest rates and their economy is worse shape than ours. And they have no room left to stimulate with lower rates.
Right now I like energy and precious metals as defensive stocks.
Thanks for jinxing it!
Noticed that the media wasn’t reporting the excellent total spent for Christmas. I believe it was way higher than predicted.
Because seniors and savers and CD holders are receiving the most interest in years. Thanks to Chairman Powell at FED.
I have no idea why some FReepers, like you, are cheering for losses.
“Worst Christmas Ever”
Snort, hardly the worse ever. Long, long way from being the worse ever. But, hey, everything under the sun (and including the sun) is the worst ever because of Trump.
Oh BS. Main Street is doing well because of Trump and Feds are trying to run it.
Not so sure of that.
I’m not cheering for losses. I am accepting reality.
Exactly, tell me the drop was not the Fed Reserve, the media and the Democrats driving down the market. Because explained what changed over Christmas to turn around the market?
