The stock market is not a reliable indicator of the economy.

It’s not, but he doesn’t care as long as it cracks 50k and gets to ego stroke and talk about how he did what nobody else ever has

It’s hard to believe after all these years that ANYBODY still thinks this is anything close to being a noteworthy take.

Bad news means the Fed will cut rates and the markets go up.
Good news means the Fed will lower and the market tanks.

It has been a disconnect for a few decades.

100% correct. Trump needs to get laser focused on domestic policies while ramping up the dismantling of the Bureaucratic State.

That's actually it. ANYTHING that provides headwinds to a rate cut/cuts is frowned on by investors nowadays. Even if it is news that is good for the economy.

Vain, self-inflated and egotistical. But he actually has skins on the wall, and some pretty impressive notches on his golden belt.

I accept him for who and what he is. I could do without the gaffes. But, if the spineless GOPe Congress would actually support him, he would actually change the USA for the better. Unfortunately, too many Uniparty sellouts remain.

there's an old adage in actually trading the market, you buy on the anticipation of the news and sell on the actual news.

you see the money's been made now it's time to take the profit.

i wouldn't read too much into it

He should have been harder on holding the line on the SAVE Act as well as being harder on reigning in deficit spending.

The market knows we have reached a point where we are beginning to fail at trying to print our way out of economic troubles. The more we see diminishing returns from deficit spending, the more likely it becomes inflation charges back regardless of what job growth does.

That implies he's attempted to reign in deficit spending. He hasn't.

Him stroking his ego coincides with my retirement accounts having an over 10% return. So happy to see him do it
