(snip) - Everything you need to know about the tentacles of multinational corporations and banks can be found in the following reality: The U.S. economy is in a period of unprecedented growth ….. and also, the U.S. stock market is losing ground.
Wall Street versus Main Street
Bottom Line: U.S. companies who have actual connection to a growing U.S. economy can succeed; based on the advantages of the new economic environment and MAGA policy, specifically in the areas of manufacturing, trade and the ancillary benefactors.
Meanwhile U.S. investment assets (multinational investment portfolios) that are disconnected from the actual results of those benefiting U.S. companies, highly weighted toward multinational investment, and as a consequence disconnected from the U.S. economic expansion, can simultaneously drop in value even though the U.S. economy is thriving. THIS IS EXACTLY what is happening!
There are massive multinational interests inherently at risk from President Trump’s “America-First” economic and trade platform. Believe it or not, President Trump is up against an entire world economic establishment.
When we understand how trade works in the modern era we also understand why the multinational control agents within the current system are so adamantly opposed to U.S. President Trump. In essence, this is a structural economic battle that is being waged politically.
♦ The biggest lie in modern economics, willingly spread and maintained by corporate media, is that a system of global markets still exists. It doesn’t.

If we spent much less on video entertainment and electronic appliances and gadgets, that would go far towards winning. But that would require getting the word out and convincing many spoiled, selfish people to go along.
$100,000 of my own has just been burned “at stake”.......

Are those realized losses or on paper? I have a 403(b) account and it’s downside risk is pretty limited, so I am sticking with it. Buy the dips (if you can).
Right Shady. I planned on using this money to pay for a home, waiting for Santa Claus rally. Not sure if it’s gonna come……
If you fell for the “safety” of the stock market, by all means stay in it. If not, gambling is also legal in many states.
On paper, but could use the money per my post above. I need to sell some on January 2nd or 3rd to put towards a new home.
Business taxes are down. Companies are buying record amounts of their own stock in the market companies making record profits. Yet the market is droping? Something does not add up.
Does this mean to say that companies that actually make things here in the U.S. are doing better and companies that charge to just move money around (Wall Street) are not?
If so, I'm all for that.

I’ve felt for a very long time that when there is nowhere else to put your money, you put it in the stock market, and when there is, you take it out of the stock market to put it in those places (e.g. real estate). Obama’s economy made investing in it poison. As the economy booms and business invest in growing their business, that money has to come from somewhere - the stock market.
For the last decade, people have lamented the disconnect between the economy and the Stock Market. The market boomed while the economy waned. We are now seeing a major correction. It’s about bloody time.
If so, I'm all for that.

Which will be helped with LT & ST Cap Gains at year end and divs, if reinvesting. Retirement portfolio accumulators should be pleased with this down turn.
You essentially are correct. The Hedge-fund market is losing ground because it is not based on actual performance. The multinational corps are being broken up by new trade agreements that allow local industry to compete on its own.
Under the Trump economy an apple grower in Washington state can sell his apples to the highest bidder. Under the Multi system he is required to sell to a single buyer who sets the price for his apples in each market.
The Multis control whole industries globally. His apples may sell for $1. in the US market and only $.10 in an African market. The farmer is getting $.05 for his apples because he has no other market to sell to. He is obligated to sell to the single buyer because there is no other market open to him.
The Multis have a vertical monopoly on apples from the grower to the broker to the wholesaler to the retailer. They have been working on the final step, the consumer. Under cover of law the Multis control legislation in each country that determines what the consumer can buy.
