    Yes but just for the month of December and nothing close to the December 1931 losses during the Great Depression so a little misleading.

    D2 the midterms have a lot to do with this meltdown in hindsight. As the market factors in "political risks" stocks become less valuable. The market doesn't mind gridlock but it's wary of radical TDS'ers.

    1st clue to this madness was when the market dropped a record 1k points in a day. You should've taken your money and ran.

    Trump is not the only factor, but the biggest. An accelerator, if you will.

    Riiiiight... So when the market was advancing it was all Obama. But when the market falls back it's all Trump. Got it.

    You should of sold everything the night Trump was elected. You don't currently have the mental capacity to discern fact from fiction.

    Yeah but what about all those tax cuts that were going to improve everyone lives? Now the stock market is going back to depression levels.

    Are you telling us that we are still not going to get our trickle from those tax cuts?

    Uhh... they are working perfectly. Wages rising faster than in a generation. 1st time GDP will break 3% since Moby Dick was a minnow. What exactly did you expect, that they would cure cancer?

    Bonuses from the tax cuts are .02 on avg per worker. The cost of living wiped out most of the so called wage growth.

    There were 1 trillion dollars in stock buybacks. Working perfectly for who? The only Moby Dick was stuck in the ass of American workers.

    Maybe in the Roy Bubble thinks are working. But for the mass of the American people. Not so much.

    You can stop with the lies now Roy. You got your money.

    So again, what did you expect? Tax cuts raised wage growth from 0.2% to over 3% and added millions of job openings. That was all I expected, you?

    You keep saying 3% without the 2.1 cost of living increase. So its really .09%. These jobs you speak of are low wage with crap benefits.

    This is not what was promiesed at the time of the tax cuts. Which 70% of the American people were not in favor of.

    But I can see you got what you expected. Short term stock gains from buybacks. Which does nothing for American workers.

    You can stop the lies now. You got your money.

    Just a screenshot of where the market was within a minute of this post. Up 700 pts on the day, has since risen 200 pts.



    Consumer confidence, HUGE holiday retail (up over 5% from last year's boom), w/ sustained employment and rising wages.

    But don't let me distract you, brah, let's talk about the depression we're in.

    Yes. So it's 0.2% wage growth vs 3% wage growth.

    Stand back and look at that a few times. You don't see a difference???

    Sorry bros, but the stock market is not a reflection of how the Avg. American is doing. Its a reflection of how the one percent are doing.

    Its a place for rich guys to gamble. Up or Down, the house of cards built on nothing that looks like a real economy will crash sooner or later. Even the Big Banks are saying it.

    You mean .9 to .2 that equals .7 is that what they said at the time of the tax cuts? No need to stand back. Most people who work for a living want to be close enough to spit on it.

    Then why are you referencing the market and "depression levels"? Makes zero sense.

    What does a real economy look like then? You're saying we're heading for depression, a crash - your opinion - I'm presenting you with facts: phenomenal employment rates, rising wages, borderline historic consumer and retail confidence levels.

    Where is this phantom recession we're in?

    Still spewing the same uneducated nonsense I see
    While it is true that the vast majority of Americans don't buy and sell stocks, 54% are directly effected by the market, mainly by pensions, 401k etc...

    For one most of us have been in a recession or never recovered from the 08 crash. When the market is up, it doesn't mean anything for the Avg. American. But when it crash's, its the Avg. American who will pay the price in either lost wages, jobs & retirement. Just like 08, the rich got bailed out for their mistakes & the rest of us payed for it. Did 08 make sense to you?

    The wages gains are .09 % after cost of living. A real economy is people having money to buy the goods & service provided by the economy. Most Americans are to far in debt to be part of a real economy.

    Yes but most of the gains go to the top 1%. You can't count peoples retirement which may of may not be there. Which a crash will wipe out, just like 08.

    Now go fuk your dog you clown.

    Inflation is the same as last year. It's actually lower according to the Fed chairman. But let's say it's the same.

    3 - 0.2 = 2.8%

    That's 25x the wage growth that we had pre tax cuts.

    There are 7 million job openings vs 3 million thanks to tax cuts.

    If they worked any better the Fed would raise rates to 8%.

    Keep in mind the head Tard crying Chuck claimed we would not even get to 1% GDP. LOL. Uhh Chuck we are at 3.3%.

    Wondering if you caught the part where I hinted that the informational source I based that prediction on was from a connection at gay bath house?
