I don't think this has anything to do with markets or the economy. This is just a crack up boom because everyone realizes they will print money, real estate is crap, and the only way to not lose everything is to invest. We keep reading about how Buffet has the most amount of cash that he has ever had, waiting for a crash, and yet, markets keep going up. Seems like retail to me. They don't buy based on fundamentals, they buy because they don't want to lose. I'm not saying USD in hyperinflating, but when you have cost of living getting out of control, and people worried about jobs because of AI and economic slowdown, and yet, this doesn't reflect in the markets, its because people need somewhere to put their money, and they have learned over and over how the only way to make it is in the markets. Politicians always seem to make out pretty well, and the government has to prop up the pensions, which are also all in. Buying stocks is the new religion!
US markets are underperforming far behind what they did last year and lagging against many global markets. You are confusing point moves off of highs to percentage moves ( a more meaningful measure ). The usual trend is strong markets when the Democrats are in power and once the tariff war kicks in that trend likely continues. Compare Trump term one to Biden/Obama and markets were far stronger under the Democrats. So a very strange point you are trying to make.
TACO, as usual, is booming his golf playing days total, off to Scotland on the taxpayers dime once again. "Some people also turned up to protest against his visit to Scotland on Friday. One protester in Turnberry was holding a sign that read: 'Scotland hated Trump before it was fashionable.' Other protest signs were less polite."
Except I hated TACO looong before the RealityTV Star ever rode his golden escalator down - since the 80's. Anyway I'm of Irish descent so that would be a place for me if I ever decided to pack it in. How about you CardboardBoxOnWheels guy? Oh that's right Tonto descent. Uh huh.
Scotland and Ireland are not the same. But what the fuc...k The lower 48th are below Canada, so Canada must be the north state ! So what about Alaska Sir Mark- *That is greenland* And what is then the real Greenland Sir Mark *That is the real Trump s*
