You're right but my point was back when he was nominated in Aug 2008 the DOW was 11,715. It's been a painful, steady downhill slide since then.
July 2008, the SEC yanked the 'uptick rule' and the requirement to 'deliver' shorted securities to preclude 'naked short selling'. It was that day in July, 2008 when the "Shorts win, Longs lose" scenario was set up to enrich the Soros minions, and impoverish the American White Widows club who have 'ruled' the markets! Every black man has been taught that he's working for rich white widows, and it's time for reparations to begin....(/s I wish)
Oh, ok. I missed the “nominated” part.
