    Bull Market officially over!! Year heading negative.

    They always say the second year the new presidents administration and congress changes and actions start to impact society and the economy.

    Welp here we are. Down for the year.


    Things are not looking good and the quick burst impact of the unpaid for tax cuts, quick gdp bump of rushing to beat tariffs and growing inflation that is outpacing wage growth.




    First we have the gloomy outlook on 4Q gdp.

    Latest forcast 2.5% from the site they loved to quote the first 3 quarters. General consensus is down to 2.6%.
    NYfed is at 2.59%

    https://www.frbatlanta.org/cqer/research/gdpnow.aspx
    https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/policy/nowcast



    So how much MAGA are we getting in the stock market vs our last president you ask?


    Dow & SP500







    SP500

    Obama 42.9%
    Trump 15.9%

    260% better performance in his first term through 11/20


    Dow

    Obama 37.6%
    Trump 23.2%

    62% better performance


    Is this a bump in the road? an expected pull back from lofty highs? If you look at the charts from past presidents the end of the 2nd year is when things really hit either the gas peddle or the break.




    there are a lot of good things about the current economy but are we starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel for this 9 year run?

    It dropped below the year start mark in October... today’s it’s just doing it again, but I bet the holiday season will be huge.

    Good. We need a correction badly to avoid a massive crash.

    OPEC is due to discuss cutting production on Dec 6(didn't Trump just thank Saudis for holding production while hand waving murder?)


    so if that 1 million cut happens, expect more selloffs

    It's because the Democrats took the House!

    Well, at least the Cheeto-in-Chief was right about one thing in his life.

    To be fair, Obama inherited a really shitty economy in the throws of its worst downturn in nearly a century, and Trump inherited Obama's soaring economy. Obama gets a boost from digging out of a hole, and Trump really couldn't do too much more than sit and enjoy.

    But then the problems come in from the fact that Trump couldn't just sit and enjoy, he kept giving it gas because he's an incompetent dickwit and now we're flooding the engine.

    What really gets me, though, is that Trump claims he's responsible for the peaks in our economy, but then also claims this dip is a correction that he knew was coming. So you claim that the economy is great because of you, but you also claim that you knew then that its greatness was a fabrication and soon to be erased? I don't know where I'm going with this; I know if Trump said "This sentence is a lie," his supporters would simultaneously agree it is both a lie and true that it is a lie, and not see or feel the contradiction.

    Don’t let them get away with it... Droptober was last month... before the election. The market has been up and down the whole year since Trump’s tax cut. There is a 3 step system that has been running the market for the last year...

    Step 1 - Bull market! Everyone is happy! Up and up we go!
    Step 2 - Trump makes a trade war comment... and down we go!
    Step 3 - Trump has focused on immigration, instead of trade? Bull market, here we go! Quick before Trump talks trade...
    Step 4 - Trump tweets about China... no!!! Down we go...

    On repeat...

    Worse may be on the way. More than half of the chief financial officers included in a periodic survey by CNBC say they expect the Dow to drop below 23,000 points—as of Tuesday afternoon, it was sitting at 24,500 points—before it stabilizes. That would wipe out not only all the gains from 2018, but would represent the lowest point for the major industrial index since October 2017.

    He bailed out a booming market... now interest is a problem. When Bush did it, we had a surplus and 911 was just a number to call the cops. You can say he was an idiot for doing it, but Trump Corp revenue is up and taxes are down. Coastal elites, being coastal elites... if only we had a family running for government from Illinois or Arkansas... oh well...

    I'm not sure this has much to do with Trump, and much more with the continued fiscal policy. Outside of the tax reform, not much has changed with the economy except for overconfidence starting to correct. Once people saw that the new taxes would mix some things up but give us the same old thing, it is fair that stock market is seeing a sea of red after hitting 25k on the Dow.

    We've nearly capped on unemployment, yet wages are slowly declining if not plateaued for decades, and entering the winter season where productivity is always the lowest. Going to need to push something hard to keep us out of a recession, having that said it is a long time coming and would be unfair to say it is solely Trump's fault if it comes to that.

    Trump bailed out a booming market, which spiked inflation. At the same time, he initiated trade wars, by using executive orders for national security. This is the direct fault of Trump, in both the tax cut that was passed by congress, but compounded by executive orders that are the sole action of Trump. The 25000 reaction further doesn’t make sense, since we hit nearly 27000 before Droptober last month.

    The thing is... we really cannot afford a recession after that tax cut. The deficit is growing far faster than it has in history and we are not even in a recession. Let’s just hope Trump’s talk of defaulting on debt before the election, was bullshit.

    Not quite... unemployment was nearly capped when Trump took over, when it was 4.7. The current 3.7 is .3 lower than what is considered full employment. As I said above, have the capital to push back against a recession, Trump spent it on a bail out, during a booming market. This is 100% Trump’s fault... Congress was not involved in his executive orders...

    I guess to simplify it, if we either continued with Obama's fiscal policy, or went in the opposite with Trump's, the recession was due either way.
    I am not a fan the trade wars or certain executive actions, but blaming those as a dominant cause for a bear market disregards what has been happening for the past 9 years, and is unfair if not silly.

    What I feel is the worse is not discussing what to do during a recession, and instead blaming someone for the recession. Simply put, we are a debter nation, so bubbles and rise to a declining markets are common and put us at risk for strong 'good times' but pretty bad 'bad times' ie riots in the streets and 15+% unemployment. Trump can blame this on immigrants or the Chinese, his opposition can blame it on corruption or the Russians, but this won't mean anything for the everyday person. I feel the best things is for people to be more aware of a negative impact come this spring, especially if there is more federal involvement, it could expedite the recession, or prolong it but make it more severe.

    So what you just said is: George Bush tanked the economy in HIS two terms, and Obama not only fixed the problems Bush saddled him with, but actually left Trump with a soaring economy.
