The stock market is like a committed virgin: inscrutable.

Notice they DO NOT GIVE THE ACTUAL INDEX NUMBERS, only the gains or losses.

Puck big business while we all get raped by the insanity and crass politics of our leaders

Stock market right now has shite to do with earnings or PPS or P/E ratios

It’s about the news and furture

And what triggers algorithms to buy or sell for hedge funds

The rest of us are just pilot fish

Only real adjuster outside that is oil prices and other political news besides Big Flu

I missed my opportunity to buy cheap and now my targeted stock is $17 higher and climbing.

OTOH, the big banks aren’t having that great a day.

Oddly, I haven’t been able to get Vanguard to complete a purchase and buy order for my IRA I put in last Thursday.

That’s nice, but the average unemployed hairdresser or carpenter really doesn’t give a rat’s arse about Wall Street.

Open us up, Mr. President.

if trump is ready to jumpstart the economy back to normal, then leakers would leak, and the first public signal might then be be a surge in stock prices... (WAG)
