Dow futures down about 500 right now. Dow is down 5 days in a row almost entirely due to trump and his tarrifs.

Looking at a 400-500 point drop to open today as well.

So the market WAS overvalued, but now that the index has dropped 1-3% as of late, it is now a buying opportunity?

The Trump tax-cut legislation has led to record level of companies buying back shares, which has stoked the stock market.

Whether someone agrees or not to his method, Trumps plan is America First. That means making changes in the near term for long term improvements. The stock market is making adjustments for those near term changes, with the idea of better long term growth.

I don't know how it will work out long term, but I think it's laughable to think long term he is trying to hurt the economy.

I've talked to multiple large business owners and C-suite execs and it's almost unanimous that the regulations under Obama were absolutely killing business growth and that Trump has done almost nothing but improve the opportunity for long term growth.

That's not being political, it's pure economics. The politics are in the fact that liberals would prefer more regulations of certain industries no matter the economic impact.

kinda depends on individual stocks...but the sp500 had like 4-5 straight weeks of gains...the SPY is still oversold imo(on monthly charts).

profit taking/corrections should be expected...obviously, the markets are not everyone's personal ATM.
(and not much volatility on SPY puts to indicate geo-political events as cause of any corrections)

persoanlly, the past week or 2 i've been closing positions and watching my remaining (short) options from last qrt expire.
its summer...but i'll prolly open up new positions as opportunity presents as earnings season heats up.

if sp500 drops to 50 moving avg again(on weekly chart)...then i'd be 100% in buying mode

Yet many corporations were reporting record profits the last few years of his term.

That's not a defense of Obama as I think presidents often get too much blame and credit for the overall economy. The people you referenced though often want their cake, and to eat it too.

Well Trump inherited Obama's economy. First year of any presidency is more about the predecessor and then in year 2 policy changes can start to take hold. What we see now is a downward trajectory in the stock market, rising prices, inflation, increasing interest rates and so forth now that trump has been in office a year.
