re: 6 month report card: Dow is down 1.1%; S&P up 2.3%

Just trying to understand how the American economy is going fantastic when the Dow is down 2.2% for Q1 & 2 and GDP growth was lukewarm 2.2% for Q1.

Here's hoping that Q2 GDP is up 4%.

Some say the Dow will be plus 6-7% by the end of the year.

Needless to say, I had higher hopes.
