Some lib loser on CNN just said the stock market is down 200 points today because of Trump

Oh well, it's still at all times highs since he took office so they can eat a bag of dicks

It seems that there is a panic because they are worried Trump may not be able to deliver tax reform.

Idiot it's down because a Muslim drove a van through a crowd in Barcelona and killed 13 people.

You don't follow the markets very closely, do you. "Ordinary" terrorist attacks don't faze it that much these days. If you had to pin today's 274 point drop in the DJIA on one single thing, it would be worry that Gary Cohn may join the CEOs and bail due to @real's nonsense, and that might be the start of other good people leaving to avoid his growing stench tainting them forever.

Up 20% since he was elected, so yeah down 1.2% because of trump, yet up 20% because of trump, you don't get to pick one day without the rest

I don't think that's correct either. Markets seem to be immune to terrorist attacks nowadays.

So I think both you and the CNN commentator are picking a singular cause, when it rarely exists, unless it's completely market related.

Besides this article is actually arguing both, along with the more market related cause from Cisco's earnings report:

Stock market closes sharply lower as tech shares wither

U.S. stock benchmarks on Thursday finished down at least 1% as heightened concerns about President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda and news of a terrorist attack in Barcelona combined to foster selling on Wall Street. Technology shares suffered the worst of the beating following disappointing results from Cisco Systems.

The Dow is at record levels because of Trump

I'm sure he's had a positive impact, but I think there are far more important factors contributing to it, like the companies themselves.

Like because he is pro company, no wait ...

Yea the overhaul over regulations has nothing to do with it

I wouldn't call it "extremely tiny." Personally, I lost thousands of dollars today. But I expect to more than make that up when Trump gets his tax reforms through.

Companies themselves are betting on the tax reforms that Trump has promised and that Kohn is leading.

Sure. And I said he had a positive impact.

quote:

It's absolutely because of Trump and his policies/plans.

I mean it was already at record highs, and trending upward. So you can obviously argue he helped the trend with his proposals. HOWVEVER, even as the proposals have seemed less likely to be instituted, given the current nature of things, it has continued on its trend.

Again. It's likely that he has helped it, but it's ridiculous to act like he's the sole cause of the success.
