DSL....I'm really hoping you get back on the meds dude...

Show me the post where I said to not worry about the DJIA dropping? I don't seem to recall that.

Of course it makes people nervous. Call me in a couple years when the DJIA is over 50,000 and when you pull out all your money I'll be laughing my ass off.

47 approval 50 disapproval

biden would have killed for that

kamala would have killed for that

they get the tax bill through with SS OT and tips being untaxed along with a few new trade deals in place and your going to see reagan type numbers for approval

trump 47 approval on RCP is about as good as its ever been

I see the stocks went up another 1.5% today. 4900 s&P appears to be the low --up 9% overall (450) since then

Oh yeah more bad news

My money is in 401k, you pay a penalty if you pull it out I'm concerned about the job market. This shit is not good for the auto companies for which I've worked for nearly my entire adult life Comrade.

How is the bond market doing?

[Dr. Strangelove]

Biden's approval in Month 3 was in the high 50's. Trump had a brief honeymoon that's fading fast.

Our 4 biggest trading partners are the EU, Canada, Mexico, and China. And Trump didn't do a meaningful reversal on the tariffs on those 4. That's why the market had a shit day on thursday when everyone realized MOST of the tariffs were still in place. Frankly, we have a trade embargo on China now. It would be useful to assemble our allies and gang up on them but The Deal-Master thought it was a better idea to alienate and piss all over every single one of them instead.

The polls for Trump are not useful. The GOP is like TheWizard, crash course, Klondike and forhopper in their devotion to Trump. He would have to get into the low 20s before they talk sense into him about the silliness of Liberation Day.

How is the bond market doing?

Trump has met his match in the bond markets. He can get stock traders to jump and duck with a single tweet but the bond guys stay unfazed.
