Down goes the Dow

Party on: AAPL's Market Cap Increase Today Was Bigger Than The Entire Market Cap Of 300 S&P500 Companies.

Like it’s 1999.

Stocks aren't going down until at least 2021. Trump will do whatever it takes to keep things looking nice even if it means sacrificing the long term health of the stock market. He himself has basically said as much.

for example? What can he do? Specifically.

End the trade war with China (US won't gain a thing obviously but it will remove a lot of FUD from the market), appoint more pro-business hacks to high level positions, direct the DOJ to not prosecute white collar criminals who deserve it, the list goes on really. He can continue to create a very pro-Wall Street culture in DC and that will relax a lot of people on Wall Street and as long as big investors know he's on their side (for now) or that they won't get in trouble for breaking a bunch of securities laws then it'll be good times.

Zerohedge is trash.

If one person says it's awful, then maybe that one person is just wrong and bitter. When literally every accredited institution says Zerohedge is nothing but ad nauseam fake news clickbait bear porn then maybe there's something to be said

fair enough, but those tricks only work if the sailing is smooth.

if the economy turns down, organically or from an external shock, there's nothing a president can do to hold it up.

Hopefully you will realize you are being silly when you find out the source was CNN. The most trusted name in news.

It’s a bull market. Of course that trends toward greed.

OK, then why did the other guy go into a rant?

that was a sweet switcharoo you pulled on ol'Rackster.

He saw something and it triggered an automatic response, and he didn't stop to think before posting.

Not that you did it on purpose.

Racket was right that Zerohedge is trash. Just because they occasionally steal content from legitimate sources does not make them legitimate.

Sorry, you are wrong. Most of the articles are sourced elsewhere. Look for yourself before you make stuff up based on your biases. One of the things I like about Zerohedge is many articles sourced require a subscription. Of course you can look to the financial media for information surprisingly unaware that their bias is sourced from their underwriters—the same folks selling you stocks.

Unlike you, I wouldn’t pretend to know anything about another poster.

You’re okay with them stealing content?

They are definitely trash.

^Stealing! Are you really that dumb?

Back again to say UP another ~ percent across the board! Boy is it fun getting richer.

Doomsayers: if the eventual downturn proves you were right a year ago or whatever, shouldn't you have been saying buy and hold for a year?

Yep agip, I like looking at that finviz map.

Ex-options, I am up over 2% today alone. Even my b&h managed over 1.7%.. Lol I could sell on day 1 and match the Fed’s fake inflation figure.

Igy you have to forget outmoded ideas of value. I realized that decades ago when I was in the middle of Vancouver RE. It is a scramble to just get into a finite quantity. Stocks are good compared to other places to put your money, and the underlying company is not as relevant as you think.

Van RE has only increased. Same thing has happened to US equities, and the run is not yet over. They will stabilize at what you think is a ridiculous and unjustifiable level.

It is a big world, and everyone wants (and has) US equities. You continue to be left behind. I have seen all of this before.

Maserati,

Sure. One day you will wake up and it will be gone. Hopefully you will never get in too deep.

Igy.

I am agile and nervous, I never get caught.

It won’t drop much in our lifetimes, and that is what counts. If it does then armageddon is upon us, and your portfolio will be the least of your concerns.
