I just wish he could do as well as Obama.

Nasdaq means two things. Like the NYSE, it's a stock exchange where people can buy and sell shares. But it is also an index of stocks, many of which are high tech companies. So the Nasdaq index has come to be considered a quick way for investors to check the pulse of companies that depend heavily on innovation.


*100% equals full market value on first day in office
The difference here is strong. Up to now, measured from Trump's first day, the Nasdaq has seen a 149% change for an increase of 49%. At the same point under Obama, it was a change of 186%—an increase of 86%, or 37 percentage points more than for Trump.

Forget the %s. How many points was it up by Obama. And how many points is it up by Trump?

And the Fed had no impact on Obama. This is only half the story.
