Mr. P Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Geez... I'm not even a Trump guy, but the Left is making themselves look ridiculous. F.y.i. the Dow closed at 18,332.74 on Nov. 8, 2016, Election Day, which means there is 6,013 points to go before the Trump rally is gone: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/06/heres-how-much-the-stock-market-would-have-to-drop-to-wipe-out-donald-trumps-stock-rally.html Quote Detractors may point to the Dow Jones industrial average's recent stumbles, but the benchmark index has much further to fall before Trump's postelection gains are gone. Look, I get it... your golden god Hillary lost. Condolences. But drop the self-flagellation and get on board. Taking a dump on Trump ain't getting anything done. America needs more than Saturday Night Live skits and Twitter activism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually agree on something. Don't pull out of the stock market, just reshuffle your portfolio. If Bull market goes Bear market buy Dollar General/Tree or similar stocks. People have to consume products because people have to eat. How many people didn't take notes on what stocks went up during the last recession. Pizza chains went up with the 10 dollar large U-call it pizzas. Fast food dollar menu took off during last recession. If you get frightened and pull your stocks out you lose biggly. I personally hit the online shopping trend over a decade ago; Fed-Ex, UPS, and packaging ( 3M ). More online shopping equals more packages getting delivered to the door. You need more packaging too. No longer do you need one box to ship 100 pairs of pants to a store, you now need 80 or 90 boxes to ship to individual addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make money on the stock market you have to buy at a lower price, and the only time that you don't sell that stock when the price is going down is when there is a split. Sell it once it drops $5 of it's value, and see if it goes down any further then buy it right back up, unless there was a report for the reason the stocks began to plummet.

I’m not ignoring it, I just think the Democrats and liberal media blaming Trump for this is just another attempt at a false smear campaign while ignoring facts.

All he’s doing is permitting the continuation of Obama policies. The economy was such a mess when Obama took office in 2009. It was worse than anybody knew. Bush did not tell Obama the truth about how bad it was, and Obama thought his stimulus bill would be all it would take to reignite the economy, but as we all know now that was clearly not enough,’ and it took eight years for the Obama recovery to kick in. And they trying to claim credit for it. Now all of a sudden when a very curious stock-market plunge occurs, now all of a sudden it’s Trump’s economy, it’s his alone, and not only that, the specifics of the Trump economy are why you are losing all of your money in the stock market.” I actually had almost this identical exchange on Facebook on the day of the plunge. A liberal buddy of mine was LOLing about it and I responded, "So is this the Trump economy now?" He said it was, and that Trump's policy was causing it. I responded, "But I thought he wasn't doing anything policy-wise, and that the economic growth was a holdover from Obama's economy." He said it was, and that now (with the tax bill) it's the Trump economy. So... yeah. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
