Stock market down

[Johnny2X2X]

I think investors will soon realize having a childish maniac in the White House is going to be terrible for business no matter how many tax cuts for the rich he promises.

Taking a beating today.

The Bull Market has lasted for 8 full years, it simply can't continue. Trump has claimed ownership of the economy vociferously, he's going to own what happens from here on out.

2. There's usually an August slump, as well as October, January, and May.

It may be coincidence, but a lot of smallish investors use those funds for tuition. Tuition statements are often payable in August, October, January and May. Even 100,000 people each cashing out a few thousand to write those checks can can cause a noticeable drop.

3. Taking a beating?

Right now it's down less than 1%. That's hardly taking a beating.

The stock market goes up. It goes down. Over time it goes up more than it goes down.

We probably are due for a correction of some time, maybe 10%. But people here keep on predicting a genuine blood bath which hasn't happened yet. Trying to time the market is a fool's game.

5. Trump was right about one thing during the campaign... the current level of the markets is

a bubble. Funny how that changed to "the greatest economy ever" once Four Chins took office, innit?
