Okay, sure In fact Feb - Aug 2016 we added more jobs than Feb-Aug 2017 Why? How can the anti-growth administration beat the growth administration in jobs?
Plus Germ what event was going on with the economy and stock market when the previous president was elected? So to point to growth without considering baseline is like having your cake and eating it too.
We get it you dislike Trump, fact of the matter is wall street likes him, now I will be willing to appreciate your perspective if the growth is not sustained but until then don't argue with growth and greed, greed is good it builds empires.
I'll close with Trump's best job so far has been on the deficit, he's actually reducing it, but nobody brings it up, because nobody actually does any research anymore, they just go on "talk" and what news source they listen too.
Trump kept his campaign promise to bomb the hell out of ISIS and changed to rules of engagement for the military and the result has been stunning. ISIS in Syria and Iraq is for the most part dead.
All great stuff, but I like to invest my money on sound economic principals, so far all I got is "feel good" about the economy and no policy. Perhaps you invest in "feel good", I do not
I have a professional manage my investments the only policy I care about is an upward trend in worth.
It was Chris Rock that said You are only as faithful to your moral and ethical high ground as your options.
Pulling out of the Paris agreement was a good start I would say. That was a pretty bold move that not one other candidate would of had the balls to do. It saves us a ridiculous amount of money and sends us all a clear message that we are not going to be regulated and taxed into oblivion for something that was not going to be enforced on the worst offenders. That one move probably did more to stimulate our economy that we can ever appreciate. This, despite all the BS media reporting the opposite. The same media that was telling us that Hillary was absolutely going to be our next President.
So consumer confidence rating is not a sound economic principle? Maybe we need to tell the economists this bit of insight.
Go ahead and invest heavy than, put your money where your talk is It's never been higher I agree with you, heck the last time it was even near these levels was July 2007, remind me what happen in Dec 2007? I don't invest when markets are high, I invest when there is mayhem going on a huge drop, not when everyone is at feel good state. I am 100% out of the market right now.
