The day of reckoning for the Wall Street is nearly here. Donald Trump is set to be sworn in as leader of the free world and the level of consternation in the market is palpable.
That is not to say that equities wont continue to carve out fresh records, spurred by animal spirits; or that Trumps promise to make America great again wont come to fruition, leading to halcyon days for investors from the lowest sociopolitical rung to the deepest-pocketed 1%...
...Im dying to look back at this and like the outcome, Blankfein said on Wednesday during an interview on CNBC at the World Economics Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
In one chart: How stocks perform in a new presidents first 100 days
If Trump can tone down the antitrade rhetoric, his platform of spending, lower tax rates, and deregulation should bolster growth. But the market got ahead of itself...
...Many on Wall Street are doing the calculus and determining that there are many known unknowns to grapple with, borrow a term from former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Heres how research firm Acritas Research has depicted the risks and benefits of a Trump presidency (see infographic below):
...In the 72 days since Trump won the election, he has jawboned the dollar DXY, +0.19% lower, and continued his threats to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, blasted the press, accusing them of reporting fake news after uncorroborated allegations that members of Trumps team held clandestine meetings with Russian officials surfaced.
He also has taken credit for multinational corporations, including General Motors GM, -0.45% Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT, -0.72% United Technologies Corp. UTX, +0.28% unit Carrier Corp., keeping jobs in the U.S., and for some fostered a sense of economic optimism.
Time will tell...

Yawn. it happens every election of a New President.
I’m a 25 year stock broker advisor veteran. Nobody in my trade takes Market Watch or CNBC seriously.
This is just crap, fake, misleading blather meant to get people to click on a link, so they can find out more about some penny stock that will make you rich...
1/3 of all financial news is lies, 1/3 is fraudulent, 1/3 might be true. So, think for yourself, or find an advisor that is good, but for goodness sake....stay away from financial journalism like this crap.
The market has already predicted whatever it can from Trump and nominees statements. The uncertainty is rather low considering that Trump and team have a strong focus on big tickets like a tax cut but also using the rest of issues that don’t matter to the markets attract the attention of the angry idiots on the left.
Dow +113 today. Looks ok to me so far.

Haven't seen a post from you all week and I miss the Daily Investment & Finance Thread.
I'm having my own busy times so I understand if that's the case. Hope all is well with you and the rest of the ping list.
Anybody know what happened to the investment thread?
Is expat_panama okay?
I still do miss the investment thread..
I contacted him, but got no response.
If he’s TRULY a fan of IBD, he’s no Trump fan. Meh. It is what it is. They come and they go around here. ;)
Well, maybe there’s someone who could post a thread once a week or so? Just an idea.
(I am not able to myself, sorry.)
I'm excited about it. And my longevity here at JimRob's place is both a source of pride and a huge source of understanding the thinking of people I respect very much.
Free Republic ROCKS!
The future is just over the horizon. Blessed as we are, we walk forward. Knowing his name.
God Bless you Abigail and Diana and I'm not sure if ;All actually hits all the investment thread ping list as I tried it months ago and got only Abigail to respond 2 months after. As always we'll keep on moving forward.
I could MAYBE do it, but not ready to commit. It wouldn’t have any fancy graphics and stuff, either.
My Economic views are purely Capitalistic, though. Not sure I would post anything the LEAST bit balanced, LOL!
P.S. Thanks for the Blessing! I’ll always take those when offered! Same to you. :)
