Trump isn't hurting anything, Sybil.
Ouch, big time Ouch

Never said it was, but it, especially when combined with the Bond Market and the value of the Dollar, gives us a good indicator on the state of the economy, one much more accurate than your antidotal accounts of truck traffic and some quarryThe stock market is not the economy.
The Bond market is not the economy.
The value of the dollar is not the economy.
Buying and selling goods and services for an agreed upon price is the economy.
People are building more houses and buildings now, and improving them. That means more people laying concrete and asphalt, making and selling lumber and metal and gypsum products, making plumbing products and wiring products, and even more government inspectors conducting inspections of projects underway.
Truck traffic at our local quarry and batch plant is almost continuous now!
ALL of my investments are doing wonderfully,
...and I'm selling more instrumentation than ever!
Once again, never said it was, do you ever get anything right
Never said he did, that’s the fourth time in a row you lied, if you got nothing to offer but lies, quit, it only makes you look foolish
The Dow has been overvalued ever since outsourcing became popular with corporations back in the late '80s and early '90s. NAFTA broke American workers back so real unemployment has been at or above 20% for close to 25 years.
The Dow has nothing to do with middle class Americans.
If the Dow has been so overvalued for the last forty years how did the US build the greatest, most productive economy in the world with advancing wages and 4% unemployment?
The factory jobs disappearing was natural, they moved from the NorthEast to the South and eventually out of the country, called capitalism, seeking cheaper labor costs, it was inevitable. Those jobs aren’t returning, and if they did, new plants would be built based on automation
Called using the comparative advantage in trade your national possess. The opportunity cost of returning to a 1950’s model is too great
Marx predicted the late-stage capitalism we are living in. Things will only get worse no matter who is potus. Compare China's infrastructure to what we have in the US.
Again, the middle class is in decline because of the markets.
It's even easier, but it truly eludes you.
I do invest, and I am making money. All of my investments are doing well.
I don't invest in stock. I don't gamble like you do.
I don't invest in Bonds either.
US government debt is not going down. The dollar is shrinking in value and has been since fiat currency was initiated in the United States by FDR (a Democrat).
The Bond market is not the economy.
The dollar is not the economy.
Awwwww. Anchovies missed out on making money, yet again!
Don't try to deny your own posts, anchovies. It never works.

Gold is a US market, anchovies.
The DOW is not a company, anchovies.
You are not a seer, anchovies. You cannot read magick sticks. You cannot read palms. You cannot get the future in a crystal ball.
All my investments are performing well. Too bad you made bad choices.
I think the S&P 500 will be below 4,000 some point this year, and then will gradually start rising with double digit inflation. I doubt it will go below 3,000.
After four years of double digit inflation, it will be hard for the stock market to be lower than it is right now... But trump might just be able to do it.
I still go with higher, but certainly not in inflation adjusted values.
If that is an unrealized gain, you might be in real trouble. Investing in the bounces as a stock rolls downhill is only a successful strategy if you take the money and run when you have a gain. You might buy at $39, celebrate that it went to $48, only to see it crash to $30. Then you invest more, and it goes to $35... And then crashes to $20.
The question you should be asking is there any possible universe where TQQQ be higher in August? In my opinion, there is not.
But I might be wrong. If I am wrong, and you invest differently than I would, you will probably make a lot of money.
