This is seriously what FBN talking heads are claiming, the uncertainty of what Mueller is going to divulge has the markets freaked out. Here's a few reasons for the recent market gyrations, tariffs and trade talks with China, rising interest rates, investors believing a correction is due, general slowing of the global economy..., Mueller investigation? I don't think so. Why does Wall Street care if Mueller brings the hammer down on Trump, hell most of the Wall Streeters are Progs/Globalist anyway...., unless they actually think Trump is a good portion of why stocks are up over 25% since he was elected....hmmm.

Yep. One has to believe if Trump is bad for America the markets would be rallying if Mueller was about to deliver the goods or maybe it's the exact opposite, maybe Trump is good for America and Wall Street is concerned the economy is going to suffer if Trump is impeached or removed from office. IDK

Yes, so it is a perfect time for you to empty the barista tip jar and buy you a few stocks on the cheap.

You wouldn't have to ask that question if you actually owned any stocks.

I think China and trade has more to do with the markets than Mueller?

I know most people I talk to are less optimistic about the economy after November. Freaking socialists being elected has cooled the PE and VC markets substantially.

Many of the folks I work with (Family offices, PEGs, and other extremely high net worth types) are acting much differently now than a few months ago.

I think computerized trading, and consumer vs trader sentiment dichotomy are heavily involved

Honestly if Trump were removed from office, not much would change structurally in the American economy. A Republican would take over and continue a similar agenda and companies would not adjust strategy very much.

Wouldn’t this be Obama’s fault? I mean he was credited for the gains so why not the downturn?

investors believing a correction is due


We had two pullbacks of around 8-9% earlier this year and are down 11% from the late September high. I’d say we’ve seen the correction.

The markets only dictate what is good for business, not what's good for America.
