No, the market (Dow) is down 200 points from August 14th and it is down from where it was a year ago.

The Democratic party and Biden had to be cheering today.

I am a Trump supporter but if he loses these sort of tweets will be a big part of the reason why-or actually the ones where he said, “ ‘Who is our bigger enemy,’ Fed Chairman Powell or Chinese President Xi? “

or “Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA,” Mr. Trump tweeted. “I will be responding to China’s Tariffs this afternoon.”

Even ardent Trump supporters in business are questioning what the hell he is thinking. Talked to one of his biggest supporters today and he could only shake his head. Crash the market and then make fun of it. I get he never invested in the stock market but when people see their 401ks his approval will dip again.

I think he might listen to Ivanka and I hope and pray she gets in and talks to him

If the economy goes into a recession then Trump loses-no question-people on this board often think the US is like them-it is not , the real story is the increasing demographic or ethnic block voting for Dems- the block voting of African American’s (95% + for Dems+ and especially Hispanic Americans-approaching 70%,) At Least Hispanics don’t vote 90% dems

Just look at the states won by Trump,he won 32 states but only 4 have a population of Hispanic voters over 13%. Clinton by contrast won 28 states and only 5 had a Hispanic population of under 13%.

In CA, the Hispanic Population is now about 40% (and yes fueled by illegal immigrants and higher birth rate )and African American 12%.

This demographic shift and resulting voting trend is what is going on in early stages in Nevada, Az, Fl and now Texas. Colorado is now over 20% Hispanic and now a dem state, Nevada over 29% and voting solidly blue. I believe this is why the dems are for illegal immigration-it gets them votes and power.

But crashing the stock market only increases the chances for a recession and game over. So laugh it up if you want Biden as president . I don’t.

Ivanka talk to Dad please

Sounds like an obnoxious rich kid to me. I’m sure middle class people with 401ks don’t appreciate the flippant attitude.

FAKE NEWS ALERT!!!

The economy isn’t going from 2.8% GDP growth over the last year to recession in the next 12 months - unless we have that wildcard event nobody can predict. This could include a major terrorist attack, 911 type event, big war with Iran/North Korea, etc. The stock market is not overvalued, commodity spikes are not present, and the Fed’s short term interest rates at 2.25% are nowhere near high enough to cause off another recession. Can we have a bear market in stocks? Sure, but the true likelihood of a US recession in the next year is slim and in my opinion dependent on that wildcard event.

All this recession talk is fake news by Demonrat talking heads trying to justify their existence on TV - they hope the US does have another recession to help them win the 2020 election. Pretty disgusting to hope that millions of people lose their jobs so they can put some liberal Dimwit godless degenerate baby killer back in office. That tells you what kind of people many of these deceived morons are.

Because the yield curve is currently inverted there is a statistical 30% chance of recession in the next 12 months. Problem is, the bond market is way overvalued and the yield curve will eventually get back to normal.

Again, short of a major geopolitical event, the likelihood of recession in the next 12 months is slim and simply wishful thinking by the Demonrats.
