well, not so fast as don't we need the senate as well
then there is the democratic filibuster

The house just passed the senate plan from a few days ago.

I don’t think so

Oh so you think you know how the stock market works now

[hutch]

You think the stock market moves based on the Circle Jerks?? Now I have heard it all.

Tell me you were joking PLEASE!
Actually I know you are joking.

No dummy, it's based on Keith Morris.  Same would've happened if he said this with OFF!

I'm kinda shocked how the market is reacting lately  (read edit2)

Typically it's very future focused and not the best measure of the state of every thing in the economy today

I don't think there is any analyst who is excited for how things are going to look in 3/6/12 months
yet...markets are pretty damn solid right now

lost almost nothing
DJI is up over 7% 1 year and close to 70% on the 5 year

I'm not wishing the economy craters or a recession
but seems odd that the people in finance are so confident in the future here


Taking the sage advice from Hutch (someone else here posted it too)...I decided to buy on the dips and I picked up a small amount of SP500 ETF shares on 4/8  (was mostly to test the trading platform on Ally.com)

It's currently up 12%

Edit...this isn't great news and lets see how the market takes it...is a trailing indicator, but still makes people edgy
US economy contracts at 0.3% rate in Q1, first pullback in three years
DJI dropped almost 400 points as that news broke

Edit 2...this headline is an indicator how topsy turvey all this is
Firms ditch forecasts in trade war
As the earnings season continues, some of the world's biggest companies have been pulling their guidance or financial outlooks for the year due to the uncertainty caused by tariffs.

Welp, that lasted less than 2 hours and everyone has moved on
went below 40k and back over again

Did anyone guess 4/30

[BarelyHatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

this explains everything
This is Biden’s Stock Market, not Trump’s.  I didn’t take over until January 20th. Tariffs will soon start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers. Our Country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden “Overhang.” This will take a while, has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS, only that he left us with bad numbers, but when the boom begins, it will be like no other. BE PATIENT!!!

Hmm...guess he was expecting a lot more blowback from todays news and was getting ahead of it

does biden now get credit we finished up for the day?
