Dow jumps 300 points minutes after Biden announces negative test

[Dem2]

Market knows who they're rooting for, not so secretly.

[Claustrum]

1. A preview for when Biden wins the presidency.

See, democrats are actually good for the stock market.....

[BComplex]

2. And we always have been. All the crashes come as a result of republican policies.

Republicans are poison.

[Bayard]

3. Who's your daddy?

[C Moon]

10. :D Best DU reply of the day so far!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

19. Ha! Good one! n/t

[Hugin]

4. (:

Okay.

That is good.

The Markets like a plan.

[TomCADem]

5. That is actually funny.

6. Who is this co-founder of the Covid Tracking Project :/

Is this COVID-19 tracking project guy appointed by TRUMP or what?

His fans have rejoiced at the news. However, the co-founder of the Covid Tracking Project rained on this parade by tweeting, “A negative PCR test today does not mean that someone escaped infection. The virus can incubate for more than a week before it’s detectable. Anyone who was exposed to the president should continue to monitor symptoms and, if they have the means or ability, get tested.”

7. These are true statements and good advice, however every negative test Biden has...

...is a positive for America.

[Mike 03]

8. Investors were worried about the exact same thing we were:

Biden!

[IronLionZion]

9. The market knows Biden is a return to stability

besides they already got all the tax cuts and stimulus they can squeeze out of Trump and the GOP so there's not much left to hope for. Biden's policies will be good for consumers and that helps trickle up through our economy.

[LymphocyteLover]

13. I sure hope so (that they have returned to sanity and think that)

[IronLionZion]

23. Trump's presidency had a lot of volatility

Obama/Biden's was relatively stable, which makes it easier for businesses to plan out their work

[LymphocyteLover]

28. very true

a return to some sense of normalcy would be wonderful-- still the stock market has behaved very oddly in recent months.

[OMGWTF]

18. The Dow nearly tripled under Obama/Biden

Despite the craptastic economy GWB handed them.

[LymphocyteLover]

11. OMG, that made me laugh

Some bright news.

I also saw the market go down big this morning after Trump's + test and then slowly recover as they realized it wasn't such a big deal if he was sick...

[C Moon]

12. I can't help but wonder if Trump knew he was positive b4 the debate.

[lagomorph777]

17. People are saying he's been hiding this for quite a while.

It only came out because he's too sick to hide it anymore.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

21. Which means he knowingly and callously infected others.

He'll say it was so people wouldn't panic.

[lagomorph777]

22. Yup.

And you know what? I feel less panicked already, knowing how much he's damaged his own campaign, and hopefully his long-term recovery prospects are poor.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

25. Any credibility his followers thought he had re: Covid19 should be gone by now.

Maybe people will start paying attention to the real experts and start wearing the damn masks.

[bigtree]

14. hahahahahahaha!

...

[Loge23]

15. The economy always does better with D in the WH

As Casey would say: 'Ya can look it up!"

[apnu]

26. I know brokers, they won't admit that.

Its mind boggling.

[lagomorph777]

16. Wow - so the only reason it fell was worry about Biden!

The market is now behind Joe!

[mdbl]

20. Does the Dow have any thing to do with reality in business?

Or is it just a big casino for wealthy people to make money off of not so wealthy people?

[apnu]

24. WHIPSAW!

Can we sue Trump for market whiplash?

[Crowman2009]

27. I'm looking forward to a well-functioning/boring government next year!

In which education, health care, the environment, parks, post office, amtrak and space are well funded; the defense industry gets cuts; we end with a surplus and debt reduction; and finally...NO WHINY DRAMA FROM THE WHITE HOUSE!
