More good news of long term economic recovery.
The Fed is about to get more aggressive, and 'collateral damage' may ensue

long-dormant inflation rises and the Fed finds itself behind the curve after years of loose monetary policy. The central bank then has to move more quickly than the market anticipates, putting pressure on both stock and bond prices, which move inversely to yields.

an objective fact. in the background is another objective fact, that the timeline of that hike and the intention of others following had been signaled by the Fed for months

the number of increases doesn't matter, and neither does their relative magnitude. what matters is simply whether the rate is too high or too low for the fed's purposes, such that it drives us toward inflation above target or not

what the fed is supposed to do is not discretionary. the fact that there have been 4 more could just as easily be a signal that rates have been too low, making borrowing for cap inv slightly cheaper and therefore slightly more profitable than it should be, which would mean we were artificially inflating asset prices in the months between those hikes

Another objective fact is that Trump has presided over a 28% run-up in the markets against the headwinds of continued and consistent raising of the FED rate.

Same response for this gibberish. You seem dumber and dumber with each post. Although in your defense you may be 90-rage-typing, hindering the coherence of your posts.

Interest rate increases.

As for today, the drop was pre 1Q earnings releases jitters, which recovered.

The "big drop" in February was probably more a needed correction than anything else, since the election of Trump was like throwing a little gasoline on our economic fire.

He actually provided you with a link to his post and quote the last time you made this same point for the umpteenth time.

Expected interest rate hikes, the strength of the dollar, and inflation picking up.

Gradual downward trend since the big drop to start the year.
What is happening vlads?
You misread the charts?
We are up slightly since the February nadir.

Trump's election drove the markets. Markets were expecting Hillary, and a continuation of obamanomics. Markets were expecting the same tepid economy obamanomics produced. A recession was anticipated in 2017.

Trump as POTUS was unexpected. In stead of puttering along, S&P PE ratios skyrocketed, hovering a little above 25 by December'17.

Over the past three decades, S&P PE's never reached >25 without an associated deep correction or a full-blown recession.
So w/o tax reform, markets were overvalued.

However, tax reform was a game changer.

So instead of an associated deep correction or a full-blown recession simply delayed until 2018, the markets are now puttering along as would have been the case at 30% lower valuation under Hillary. Predictions are for a 2018 trading range capped in current 2018 perimeters. Given recent earning reports I'm not sure we don't top out those predictions.
