US Corporations Expect Best 1st Quarter Profits Ever
GP ^ | 04/12/18 | Jim Hoft

1st Quarter 2018 Results are just starting to be reported for US companies and expectations are that because of President Trump’s economic measures, the ‘bottom line’ or net profits for these companies will be the best 1st Quarter results ever!

2017 was a very good year for the Dow, S&P 500 and all the major US stock indices. The Dow set numerous records such as having 70 all- time highs by year’s end.  President Trump’s first year in office was arguably the best year ever for the Dow. (See our summary of year-end results including the Dow).

As a result of these tax cuts, most US Corporation will deliver a net income in their financial results that is 14% greater than prior year. This starts in the 1st Quarter of 2018 and the results for many major companies will begin being reported in the next few weeks.  This means that for every large corporation reporting financial results in the US, the net income after taxes will be increased by 14% – an unheard of increase!

With many companies reporting their best year’s results ever in 2017, and the economy on fire, and taxes being cut by 14% – expectations are that the net income for these companies in the 1st Quarter of 2018 will be the best ever and this will continue from this point forward!

Liberal shareholders should consider giving back their gains. 

And the first thing Bernie wants to do is raise taxes. Will any reporter ask him about this? /rhetorical

How can this be true? Each and every night the Main-Stream Media is telling us how inept, corrupt, chaotic and wrong the entire Trump presidency has been and still is.
I live is fear of hearing a “GOOD WORD” about DJT in the media as my blood pressure would spike HIGHER than the stock market.
I bet the minions of the “MEDIA” are quietly profiting greatly from the very things they criticize Trump for.

Bingo. That sell off was so dramatically over done as to be obvious.

MY tiny little “U.S. Corporation” also had a record 1st quarter, too.

And all my employees got substantial bonuses.

Thank you, DJT.

MAGA

Listening to Rush today as usual. I hardly ever watch news anymore and am better off for it. There is nothing but manipulation against Trump and any of us who remotely believe in what he is doing or stands for.

When do the sheeole finally get sick and tired of the current agenda. I’m even tired of Rush and Hannity talking about it all. An endless stream of Russia, collusion, affairs, firings, White House unrest. The NY Slimes has had Trump firing Moler for the last six months. It is clearly a made up lie. Trump is not that stupid. He is not stupid at all but he has to be getting very weary.

Someday, the sheeple will wake up and the market will take off again catching up to the mean again.

There is a lot that is just dead wrong.
