Hopefully this is correct -- less regulations are good for business and the markets reflect that.

Look at the winds that may fill President Trumps Sails:

* The Fracking Revolution unleashed, and the cash from it staying here.
* The elimination of the financial drag on the economy of Obamacare ( some say 1% GDP )
* The paring back of regulations especially the EPA ( again another 1% GDP?)
* Tax reform that includes a flat 15 or 20% Corp Tax and 100% expensing for new plant and equipment will modernize manufacturing and more.
* The repatriation of Capital estimated to be as high was 2.5 Trillion
* The unleashing of a potential healthcare revolution by getting the FDA out of the way to allow the backlog of the 4000 drugs waiting to make them a reality. IMHO this could dwarf Clinton's tech boom.

Larry Kudlow has said he thinks 6% is not out of the question, I say why not 7 or 8% given that is what Ireland had with their 12.5% Corp Tax.

Clinton's avg GDP was 3.78% w/ a Dow Increase of 225% in his eight years.

Not investment advice, but IMHO it is not out of the question IMHO that the Trump Economy could absolutely gob-smack those Clinton numbers...

The stock market did not “advance” under Obama. It was artificially given growth results through continued quantitative easing.

Let’s hope the growth under president Trump is sufficient to blunt the cessation of the fed pumping, fo all our sake.

One thing Obama was expert in, was maximizing the pain felt should his wishes not be followed. So long putz!

Good! I’m hoping my two pension plans which have always done nicely if slowly will jump in the next 15 years.

I disagree.

Too much debt, and not enough earnings. When rates start moving up, the market will go down. And I think it will go down hard.

When will the pay of those who voted for Trump increase?
