Watch.
Leftists will try to give Obama credit, but most of the growth will be in energy stocks and manufacturing expansion due to huge inflows of Capital coming in from from overseas.(repatriated funds as well as new Foreign investments)
Moe my Man, do you have a 401K?
I do, and some of my portfolio is in a fund tied to that index (technology stocks)
Can't you be happy for many Americans such as myself who are benefiting from the better performance those particular stocks are experiencing as a result of our increased investments being driven by real or anticipated new economic activity?
There is nothing wrong with being happy for Americans doing well, even if you hate Trump's guts and refuse to give him any credit for it.
Good grief, is your ideology THAT important to you that you can't even be happy for your fellow Americans when their personal economic fortunes improve?
Damn Moe?
Slammed means the average went down. That statement is true regardless of why it went there.
When the Nasdaq goes down a 100 points or so in a day, that's "losing" in my book. Maybe that's winning at your house but not at mine. We're talking about one day in this thread.
It gained 22.64% in 2016, so 25,000 would be a 17.8% increase...almost as good as the increase under Obama.

I don't know about you country but I'll take it. My portfolio is doing quite well right now and that's just "mo money" to fund your Socialist utopia!
You should celebrate a 25,000 DJI, That means a lot of Americans are getting paid, because a lot of Americans are working making money for "evil rich" companies and their investors.[cheers]
My fund is doing well, has been for the last 8 years. It tracks the S&P 500. I have a little bit of money in an International Fund and a little bit in a Small Caps fund. The S&P earned me about 15% over the last 5 years, Small Caps about the same and the International earned me about 7%. Now that I think about it, I should move my I Fund money to the Small Caps Fund.
Might be a good move for 'ya country.
Might I suggest you simply turn it all over to Leviathan to help out your fellow needy Americans who are still trapped in poverty and oppressed by Republican Right Wing cuts to their desperately needed Social programs?
I mean, aren't you being "greedy" refusing to turn over your "fair share"? Aren't you already working? Have a job? Plenty to eat? Drive a nice car? You want more?
Why are you investing in the stock market? Isn't that what "evil rich" people do? Isn't that how they "take money from the poor" and hoard it all to themselves?
I'm ashamed of you countryroads89, practicing Capitalism!
I thought you were one of the "true believers" in income redistribution?
Karl Marx would not be proud of you country let me tell 'ya?
(seriously I hope your stock portfolio continues to do well for you and makes you filthy rich)

I do pay my fair share and in 32 years of paying income taxes, I have never complained about paying taxes and have no intentions of starting. I am glad that some of my taxes go to help the less fortunate.
You do realize that corporations receive welfare too?
As far as being filthy rich, I have no desire to be filthy rich. Doesn't the Bible say something about the love of money?
Yes it does countryroads89 and I'm actually quite stunned you know it does!
It also says you cannot serve two masters, you will love one and despise the other. Really surprised you are aware it is the Love of money above Almighty God himself that believers are warned against.
Country I respect that like most law abiding Americans you do pay your taxes. But my needling you about wanting "more" by investing in stocks is simply to point out that many Americans already think they've paid their "fair share" just as you do, and they resent being told by Leftist income redistributionists that they are either not paying enough or are simply being "greedy" for wanting to earn or keep a little more of what they own.
Companies don't actually get "Welfare" because they generate more revenue than they get in the form of tax breaks, but I agree with you they do not need taxpayer subsidies to operate nor should they receive favors in the tax code that give them unfair financial advantages not paying taxes they otherwise would owe or that their competitors have to pay.
I do not worship wealth, nor do I seek only money because I know it cannot purchase the best that Life has to offer. Love, Freedom, good Health, & cherished Family.
However I do get upset constantly being told I'm not paying enough when I earn over six figures and send 1/3 of it into Uncle Sam to either waste or abuse simply "giving it away" to someone who didn't have to work for it!
Americans are generous people. You've admitted you willingly don't mind paying your taxes and you cheerfully do so. But don't get upset with those of us who already think we've paid enough, and actually would like to have some of it back or at least want our ability to earn more for ourselves left unrestricted.
It's not "fair" to penalize your portfolio, or my hard work, or anyone else who endeavors to earn as much as they desire for themselves, as long as they remember not to Worship it or do it illegally.
