    Default Stocks drop 200 points amid lingering worries over Trump controversies

    Stocks fell Thursday on concerns President Trump's recent controversies will not allow him to work with Congress to pass business-friendly legislation.

    The Dow average fell 200 points on fears that Gary Cohn, a business-friendly adviser to the president, could resign his role as director of National Economic Council because of Trump's remarks after the violent protests in Charlottesville, Va.

    The S&P 500 dropped 1.1 percent, with information technology leading decliners. The Nasdaq lagged, falling 1.5 percent.

    "This [situation] is definitely disappointing for investors holding out hope for tax reform," said Mike Baele, the managing director at U.S. Bank Private Client Reserve. "It doesn't mean it's not going to happen, but it certainly" dampens the outlook.*

    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    Cohn's in the running to replace Yellen. Can't imagine him resigning.

    This isn't about terrorism. It's about Trump's economic agenda and if his economic advisers leave then market fall here we come

    We just need to keep things in perspective here, I know, you know, we all know it's obama's fault the market went down..

    No one can honestly blame trumpf for the market going down, he has nothing to do w/ it...................
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Truthfully, this inflated market is more about early year stock buybacks, a boost to the banking sector that subsided, and now slowly rebounds, oil dipping and climbing, and some silly pro business speculation.

    A bigger dip is coming, which is when I'll dump some money into the banking sector. Because the banks never lose in this country.

    Patience and faith is the key. Read the book. It's a quick read. The author makes it easy.
