Sorry to disagree with you, he's not reassuring, he's dollar policy is rattling Wall Street and his straight talking style is making alot of us nerves. I've seen investment banking backlog fall into bits and pieces, we keep hoping he's going to make the right move and he's not, until he changes his direction, the market will keep sliding.

No .. what is rattling Wall street is Congress and all their talk of "policing" Wall Street and putting stupid laws in place just to get votes

I suspect that you're shooting the messenger. We've been living on cooked books (corrupt government statistics and unsound financing practices, e.g.) and fiat money and an excessively strong dollar for a while now. For Clinton, the economy was one more opportunity for scoring politically. Hangover time.

Reality is making a visit.

I would dearly like reality to take a vacation in the next 3 months or so, just long enough for the Republicans to get the Senate back.

But I'm not optimistic about this decade's economy.
