Much blame goes to fuckin Trump

Asshole is bitching daily about nonsense and border walls, not signing budgets, etc. Rails the market with tons of uncertainty.

His idiotic tariffs have devestated sectors alone

Even a massive corporate tax cut giveaway couldn't save it. So now we got the debt without the gains in return. Total shitshow. I still think the doom and gloom is premature, but Trump has screwed the pooch.

[Brock Landers]

Stocks fell to the low for the day after U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan announced that President Donald Trump would not sign a temporary government funding resolution.

[homie1975]

you are crazy because "markets" are forward looking

true. but i guess i am saying that the future does not look as grim as the sellers seem to think. santa clause, hopefully some good news on tariffs, and Q4 profits, can all come in some kind of combo to help the market rip in early 2019.

gonna need a lot more ammunition to battle falling long term yields, falling oil prices, and now a weak dollar

[KVB]

BAC holding strong, like that.

Get off Trump's nuts guys, it's far bigger than him. Don't miss the forest because trees are in your way.

Trump inherited a record bull run in us equities, a record run, what did you expect to happen? He's using that record and our economic upward pressure to fix certain wrongs that in world trade; wrongs that the world agrees are wrong.

Not sure if anyone, but those blaming the president, is surprised by these sell offs.

Those blaming the president might not act surprised, but the very fact they think the US President even shares responsibility watches too much mainstream TV that blames infighting and politicization.

The Fed is important, but this isn't the time to draw your conclusions from State sources like the major "news" networks. It's obvious many already have.

Did we hit bottom? Or do we get panic selling next week after everyone tells their uncles to dump their stocks over the Christmas dinner table?

If my on-line TD account is any indication, investors are spending money after market close...

[Shafted69]

Don't forget end of year tax loss selling is coming too.

The after hours trading has been in green for many nights the past few mos but the following day the shit turns red

[d2bets]

HUH?

A lot of people are sitting on losses in stocks. Many people sell before EOY in order to offset realized gains or to take up to $3,000 against ordinary income. I still need to do a little of that.

Seems negative now, but who knows. The Mattis resignation may be shaking the market.

Stocks now down almost 8% for the year, and over 20% from their highs. So much for the Fascist Traitor crowing about the record stock market
Obama's WORST Year. -2%, his only down year, 2015. A blip in his otherwise 7 years of large market gains.
The Idiot's stupid Tax cut for the wealthy, insane trade wars, are costing millions of working Americans Billions of dollars in their investments and savings toward retirement. The year still has 6 days, so the traitor idiot can still get to a W level collapse that will cost even more.
#WINNING.

It's primarily the Fed, although the tariffs aren't helping.

Down 360. Tax selling and margin selling. We will finish UP for the week and maybe even today.

This is so helpful. Who would have ever thought that Bankrupt Donnie would be a disaster.

^^Trump haters are gleaming over this Stock Market crash of late. They are finding real joy in this.

Finally a real reason to hate on Trump. Pathetic.

I'm not finding joy. The timing was horrible for me. I'm pissed. I needed to sell in January so of course December is a disaster. I should have hedged. Woulda coulda shoulda.

Tax free bonds are moving higher probably because Dems will do everything to raise top rates. Even trade a wall.

Pay over 5% tax free and have a lot of room to move higher for those looking for a safe trade.

Top tax rate will eventually have to move higher, but it won't be until 2021 at least. So your theory is silly.

Maybe Trump tanked the market on purpose. I'm sure some of his rich friends are making a killing.

[d2bets]

Another 100 points and the S&P will be negative since inauguration.

Even talk of higher top rates will move these tax free bonds higher especially from the 5% yield starting point. I bot all 3. These are high rated bonds(safety) so I think they move higher.

The Trump play is to buy oil at $45.50.

[RoyBacon]

These are the lows. Tap your line of credit. You don't want to sell until 2020 and only if it looks like Trump will lose.

I did my small tax loss selling. I am not selling right now. I am hoping for a bounce early 2019, but nothing would surprise me.
