    Default Dow jumps 400 points / Walmart and easing trade fears ignite a rally

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average enjoyed its best day in about four months as a rally in shares of retailing giant Walmart Inc. WMT, +0.11% and an apparent easing of China-U.S. trade tensions helped to support a broad rally on Wall Street.

    The enthusiasm around corporate results and an agreement by China and U.S. officials to meet later in the month to discuss easing their animosities on trade.

    Yup, the Wall Street / donor / "job creator" class is doing well. We subsidize them.

    Consumer spending/confidence up - Trade negotiations looking good. These are long term goodies.

    I celebrate this.

    Too bad conservatives who said that the market is irrelevant when it was booming under Obama can't.

    On 1/1/18, a better indicator of his policies, it was 24824. With that huge bump today, that’s a 3% increase. Nothing to write home about.

    Companies all across America laying off workers or closing their doors altogether thanks to Trump's destructive trade war.

    Those are "goodies"?
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    Obama was in charge until late in January.

    What was the DOW in January 2018?

    there are a few, but if you look at the record low unemployment they certainly aren't the norm.

    Did you think taking on years of acquiesance to Chinese dumping /IP theft / and trade barriers was going to be a cakewalk?

    China has actual detailed plans to supplant the USA as #1economy.
    The globalists are content to sit back and let it happen. Trump is not going to sit back. It's a main reason he got elected
