Compare that to how the market tanked once voters elected Barack Hussein Obama on November 4, 2008. Stocks fell 9 percent by July 20, 2009 -- the same point that they rose 21 percent under The Donald.

This was not what the experts told us.
Writing for the New York Times -- which just laid of 100 employees "voluntarily" -- Nobel Economist Paul Krugman said on Election Night:
It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover?
Frankly, I find it hard to care much, even though this is my specialty. The disaster for America and the world has so many aspects that the economic ramifications are way down my list of things to fear.
Still, I guess people want an answer: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.
Under any circumstances, putting an irresponsible, ignorant man who takes his advice from all the wrong people in charge of the nation with the world’s most important economy would be very bad news. What makes it especially bad right now, however, is the fundamentally fragile state much of the world is still in, eight years after the great financial crisis.Speaking of irresponsible, ignorant men: Krugman was an economic adviser to Enron.
I believe the Fake News media keeps idiots like Krugman employed to keep the masses as ignorant as Professor Krugman.
But here on Earth, happy days are here again.
Of course, the Fed pumped trillions into the stock market to keep it from collapsing under Barack the Intellectual Mite.
No such thing this time.
The growth is real, the future is bright.
From Stuart Varney:
Look at this: since his election win, the Trump rally has added $4.1 trillion to the nation's wealth. Anyone with a 401k, an IRA, college savings, retirement savings, mutual funds. Anyone with a dime in the market has taken a piece of that $4 trillion.
Also, during this presidency, 5 American companies have emerged as global technology leaders. You know their names: Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft and Facebook. It’s a technology world, and American companies have seized the future.
I find it astonishing that the world of money is so exuberant, while the political world is so contemptuous of this president and his policy of growth.This does not astonish me. Economic success means independence, which is the last thing most of the people in the political world want because an independent people would then not need them.
The Democratic Party is in tatters. Already 860 Marxist regulations thrown in the last minute by Obama are gone.
The forces of Good have Evil at bay.
We are making America great again -- and ourselves financially secure.

The market started tanking in August 2008 when the polls seemed to predict an obama election. You can check the charts to confirm that.
ReplyDeletePresident Trump has done wonders for me. I am up 29% since Nov 8. I expect this will be a very, very good year.
My biggest fear now is inflation, but perhaps the Fed will start doing its job in this regard.
ReplyDeleteMr. T, economically ignorant. What kind of shit for brains could make such a statement? Yeah, Paul, ol' Soetero really had a lot of experience with capitalism...of the crony kind, that is. Krugman is my investing guru par excellence. I do the opposite of what he says and make bank.
ReplyDeleteI well remember 2009. It seemed every time Jug Ears Hussein opened his big mouth a I lost a few grand. My retirement account has gained more this year than in the previous 2 combined.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I always call PK
ReplyDeletePaullie "The Beard" Krugman.
It's funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
I could use some edjamacation:
ReplyDeleteWhere did the Quantitative Easing money go? Who/what/where in the stock market? If QE kept the stock market from tanking, how did it do so?
Oh, and an aside -- when did QE stop?
I see that President Trump is going to rev up our defense industries bigly. MAGA! - Elric
