Folks, we are at a cross roads...there are no Hannity, Rush, or Beck bombshells to help PDJT. The Fed does its thing tomorrow, and I am not hopeful of Powell backing off a rate hike. The market is being pushed down by hedge fund managers (not little ones, BIG billionaire ones), Steyer, Soros, Buffet (yes, him, too), the Fed, etc.
They will raise rates and we'll be tanking for more days on end, and, some Freepers will say it's just over-valued and continue to pretend.
Does anyone think the market isn't being tanked to prepare for 2020?
Let's say Justice Roberts was blackmailed.
Let's say many congressmen were blackmailed after the unmasking, bugging by Obama, NSA, etc.
Let's say Sessions was threatened.
Let's say Jerome Powell gets threatened by a paid fixer from one of the aforementioned Soros-esque outfits.
To whom will Powell go for justice, protection and such?
The FBI? The DOJ?
Really???
Unless PDJT has some trump cards/aces in the hole, I don't see how we get back to him being on top...right now, I am deeply troubled.
I don’t think any of us on this site know exactly why there is so much negative pressure on the market over these last couple of months. I’m sure we all have our opinions(most likely based on emotion). However, if we have all been prudently investing over these last 20 years with diversification in mind, shouldn’t we be considering this as a good buying opportunity?
Buffett wasted over a billion dollars one year trying to run up the price of gasoline while Bush was president.
“Old normal.”
Manipulation.

The question is do these folks hate Trump more than money. They push it down enough people will buy. Artificially pushing the market down is a short term tactic. If fundamentals are in check other will step in to fill the void.
re: “Give me your best explanation why it is tanking day after day.”
You will notice it was UP the day after the election, then DOWN every day after that during vote manufacturing by the dems and since ...
re: “Home building sucks.”
Why is it I continually get “offers” from professional buyers on my house? Each week there is 1, maybe 2 letters, postcards wanting me to call and discuss selling ... I have NOT seen that prior to the last couple of years, and its ongoing.
Maybe it’s just a Texas thing ...
“Give me your best explanation why it is tanking day after day.”
Democrats won the house. Republican voters just realized that the Republican congress pissed away two years. One year waiting to see if the deep state would successfully remove President Trump.
If it weren’t for what Trump has accomplished, it would be really depressing.

Ok I’ll bite
I’ve dealt with money managers 40 years
Do you think the Feds making credit more expensive is justified as if inflation is threatening
That’s their reason they profess
Hedge fund managers do not tell the Fed what to do
The Fed reacts to media and some politics and their own egos and advice from a plethora of so called experts
But Soros and Leonard Green or Steyer et al don’t dictate to them
Every facet of human existence is now HOTLY politicized, especially economics and finance. There is no such think as a peaceful existence.
A strategy of keeping it in the 23000 to 27000 range until the curve catches up to the daily average. You suggest 2020 could have been 17000 or so. I would add to that the growth that comes from innovation. My guess is that 23000 is about right for 2020.
The peak/valley strategy is instead of busting the bubble in stocks created by QE and 0% interest and 850 billion stimulus from 2008 to 2016
