I humbly disagree.

The disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street is YUGE, and getting bigger all the time. The gap has been widening for a couple of decades at least. Wall Street is no longer a good indicator of what people are thinking in general.

Trump is going to win because his opponent is a demented perv who is going to be under constant bombardment by declassified details of Democrat corruption.

I, more humbly, disagree, Buckeye.

More people today have 401s than ever. It’s in the pocketbook, and makes them happy for their present and future.

No offense.

Against Biden, Trump will stomp him like a nark at a biker rally, but I don’t think the demsocraps intend to run Pedo Joe. Hitlery is gearing up for the run. I fully expect her to come on stage at the August demo convention and take the nomination.

I have to agree, but so many simply do not see it that way. They believe the stock market floats on air. We have clearly seen incredible damage to the economy from the shutdown with more effect to be seen in a few months. Whoever is propping up the market has an unlimited amount of money. I have never seen anything like this. When it finally goes down, it's going to be worse than 1929 because it has inflated so much farther than that market did.

To those who think I want this to happen, you're idiots. I don't want to live in an economic collapse of those proportions. It will be total chaos and war to boot. The fact is economic reality says you can not run an economy on nothing but air. Sooner or later, the consequences are going to hit. Almost all of this is because of corruption somewhere, btw.

Just like with QE, the market gets the money.

I will say this, though. There is a lot of construction going on in my neck of the woods. For starters, I just had a 30x60 garage built. But my local Lowes is more busy than ever and I was in there just a few days ago and I saw something I’ve never seen before:

They were out of 2x4 studs. Well, they had five, and I got two of them. They were in crappy shape but I only needed them for a planter box. But still...

Agreed. The New York Stock Exchange doesn't vote. Forty million unemployed people do. It will be Trump's recovery plan and how well people believe that over whatever crap Biden throws out that will determine the election

‘Trump is going to win because his opponent is a demented perv who is going to be under constant bombardment by declassified details of Democrat corruption.’

this election will be tight aw a drum, IMHOl neither candidate has a ceiling much higher than 285 EV’s unless a dramatic twist in projections occurs...you’re correct about the disconnect between Wall St. and the electorate...
