Not to take anything away from Trump, but percentage increase is what matters, not raw points.
If the Dow’s at 1000, and it rises 1000 points, you’ve doubled your investment.
When the Dow’s at 20,000 and it rises 1000 points, you’ve made a 5% profit (not that I’m complaining).
Exactly. Each 1000 point increase is a smaller percentage of the total than the one preceding it. Any headline or article that overlooks that fact is lying.
