If this continues, Trump will not only be impeached, but he just might get convicted! A recession would be the end. The business cycle is the only thing keeping the dead man walking

Sadly the markets have gone nowhere in the past 16 months. If the only benefit to Trump is a great economy, I wish my portfolio would reflect that.

The DOW lost 400 points? Hmmn. I'm reading this at 8:23pm on Wednesday and it says here that you posted this 5 hours ago. Jumping the gun, eh? The NY Stock Exchange wasn't even closed at this time and the DOW ended up closing at -221. It's becoming more and more apparent that you not only don't read much of what you post but post fake links that are behind a paywall so no one else can verify yourshit. You are a despicable person.

The article literally articulates the point you B word about.

 

The Dow Jones industrial average, which declined 409 points at its low, is headed for its sixth-consecutive week of losses. It finished Wednesday down 221 points, or 0.87 percent, to close at 25,126. The big drags were Johnson & Johnson, Nike, Boeing and Cisco. Only three of the 30 blue chips finished positive: Dow Chemical, Intel and UnitedHeatlth.

Reading comprehension, teach. Tibby posted just what I stated that he did. The corrected amount is behind a paywall, which is what I was getting at. Tibby lies. Oh, and he laughs at the deaths of Americans too..

Fixed for you.

 

The DOW opened at 25,231.49 which was also the intraday high - much lower than 1 point. Yesterday it closed at 25,347.77.  

What part of ***** off don't you understand? The whole point Einstein is that Tibby posts links that have a paywall and his written word can't be verified.

You can easily verify his written word by Googling a term such as "DOW" or "DJIA."

Are you being purposefully obtuse? I already knew what it ended up at. I was merely pointing out just another example of Tibby's dishonesty.

Articles being written about Q1 are still saying the sky is falling.  Some people are never happy.

Link.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.1 percent in the first quarter of 2019, according to the "second" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter, real GDP increased 2.2 percent.

It's just wishful thinking from the left. They're unhappy because "their team" isn't in power. She wasn't supposed to lose.

 

They're actively rooting for the economy to tank because it lessens Trump's chances of winning in 2020. They couldn't care less about the people; their sole interest is all the power for "their team" (their team, unfortunately, is not the United States).

 

Democrat Party uber alles, and anyone who disagrees must be silenced by any means necessary.

Less that, than they're actively portraying the economy as tanking in that attempt.

 

The reality is that GDP growth has been largely the same under Trump than Obama (roughly equivalent magnitude, but slightly more consistent), but whereas it was portrayed as utopian under Obama, it's impending doom under Trump.

rising the same as earlier years is way more impressive as the economy is that much larger

 

the opposite effect is credit card interest churning on prior cc interest  :(

“President Trump is preparing to threaten Mexico with new tariffs as part of an attempt to force the country to crack down on a surge of Central American migrants seeking asylum in the United States . . . but some White House aides are trying to talk him out of it, arguing that such a threat would rattle financial markets and potentially imperil passage of the USMCA trade agreement.”

Huh, how about that.

U.S. lawmakers expressed alarm at the potential economic fallout from President Trump’s plan to quickly impose import penalties on all Mexican goods, part of a widening backlash to the White House’s surprise announcement Thursday evening.

Trump announced Thursday his intentions to levy 5 percent tariffs on Mexican imports starting June 10, penance for what he sees as a failure to stop the flow of Central American migrants through the southern border. With every month that passes without action from Mexico, the tariff would jump in 5 percent increments until they hit 25 percent on Oct. 1, according to a White House statement. They’d stay at that threshold until Mexico substantially stops the inflow of illegal immigration, the statement said.

Despite widespread backlash, Trump showed no signs of wavering Friday, slamming Democrats for refusing to meet his border demands and accusing Mexico of taking advantage of the U.S. in a trademark morning tweet.
