Logic dictates Trump may have a point about the Fed making decisions based on political imperatives
The current stock market downturn appears timed to help the Democrat Party by scaring investors into rejecting Donald Trump on the grounds he’d trigger a crash if the Republicans win the White House in November.
The Dow Jones fell again Tuesday this time over 250 points due in part, to fears of a rate hike at the Fed policy meeting next week. These market jitters may well have been calculated for effect, and engineered by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen in a bid to save her job from Trump who has vowed to get rid of her if he’s elected.
Did Federal Reserve engineer market crash to hurt McCain and help Obama?
Or was it the Saudis?
Ah yes, because Canada Free Press is always SO accurate. Particularly with economic matters.
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go laugh so hard my penis falls off.
If they are trying to hurt Trump’s chances by tanking the stock market... it will more than likely backfire. The public will view falling markets as a sign that the current administration’s policies are failing.
What market crash? The DJI is above 18k, the S&P over 2100... party’s still rolling in Fedville.
A market crash, would demonstrate that obama has failed. He owns this, not Trump.
I’ve noticed for many months that the stock market moves were eerily mild. Kinda like the eye of the storm. I do agree with Bill Bonner about the risk of us getting into a raal world of hurt soon, and wondered if the recent moves are the beginning of the end or just the jitters.
I’ve noticed that just as an earthquake is followed by aftershocks, the exact opposite seems to be true with the stock market. That is, things seem calm, then we start getting big daily swings in both directions until it decides it either needs to be a bear or a bull, and then the real fun begins.
Yeah. I don’t think anyone is trying to do this. I do, however, think that it will soon get beyond their control and collapse faster and harder than Hillary getting into her van.
Trump is going to be inheriting a terrible mess; the Fed has done all that it can to artificially hold up the markets. But it is a house of cards.
What crash? All indexes still within 3% of all-time highs.
This is why I’m really watching this election mostly as a spectator would watch a demolition derby. We are WAY past a human solution to this. With trump and clinton, only our method of suicide is different.
It’s been over-valued and over-priced for 7-8yrs, and the next ‘correction’ might just be an eye-opener.
No kidding. Call us when it drops more than 2%.
I think the fed is staffed by idiots. But the market is going to do what it’s going to do.
Yes. The Fed, the Saudis, Buffett, Soros, pretty much all of the above.
All of these stock and bond markets are heavily manipulated by central banks with their plunge protection teams, buying back their own bonds, and lending money to globalist banks that lend to globalist corporations that buy back their stocks (or short them when they know something’s going down).
Like the fake numbers we get for unemployment, we will probably get to a day when all the stock and bond prices are arbitrarily fixed by “bid” brother.
We know the stock market has been propped up with chewing gum and rubber bands the entire time Obola has been in office.
It’s going to collapse no matter who wins the election
What market crash? But if there was one, it would help mr Trump. Investors realize the fakery of the current market — propped up with tons of newly “printed” free $$$$ does not reflect the sick depressed Obama Great Recession jobless economy
Oh, the humanity!
1. The market is down less than 3% from its all-time highs. Hardly a crash. Not even a correction.
2. If the market was to crash prior to the election, conventional wisdom dictates that it would be a rejection of the current administration’s policies and thus bad news for Hillary, Wall Street’s darling.
Trump--if he wins--would push for a possible radical overhaul that could be on the scale of what Steve Forbes proposed back in 1996: a no-loophole flat tax with a generous initial earned income deduction to protect low-income taxpayers.
