You are holding "a lot of people" to a higher standard than the President. You could make the same exact point but directed at Trump. You've chosen everyone else who has significantly less power.Quote:

You should be ashamed if you believe and support this farce.
The S&P dropped ~15% between its December 2018 high and low. That's a classic correction.Quote:

Hmmmm, something also happened to interest rates during the stock run-up as well. Your emphasis on the effects of interest rates on the markets suggests that you actually understand the fact that Presidents have very little impact on markets. Thanks for making my point.Quote:

So, I’ll make it simple doc.
Trump policies good. Economy grows fast. Fed raised rates. Stock run slows temporarily.
So, not a correction due to policy but a reaction to a booming economy due to great policy.
Thanks for playing..
