Why are the markets pumping ?
>>545567877Are they? It's because adults are in charge.
>>545567877I'm guessing optimism that the Iran thing won't continue much longer?There's not a lot of upside when dems run the economy, so I guess I'm just gonna have to shrug and guess people are optimistic about the oil situation.
>>545567877Everything is always priced in. Markets are efficient.
>>545568275>There's not a lot of upside when dems run the economyLOL
>>545567877A lame duck president usually means nothing interesting is going to be happening for the next 2 years
>>545567877Because most Democrats are center-left, not extreme socialists, and they will try and stop Trump's Iran War and repeal his tariffs, which are the things actually fucking up the American economy. The business community likes center-left and center-right neolibs, but Trump took the Republican Party on a retarded 1920s path of protectionism and then added an insane war to that. No wonder.
>>545567877Markets love stability. Trump is anything but.
>>545568403Keep in mind that you should look at where the inflection points are when trying to interpret trends.
>>545568115Trump is still in charge and still has the same power to do exactly what he was doing before
>>545568275Except the Dems will expand the Ukraine thing and probably not leave Iran either.
>>545568564Investments are made for the future.
>>545567877>Why are the markets pumpingDemocrats will 100% bail out the stock market if anything goes wrong and they are not afraid of printing money the market likes that
>>545568609What does this have to do with what I said?
>>545567877Because biztards sold.
>>545568275dude literally all the times dems are in charge the economy gets better
>>545567877Sucks to suck. My portfolio is thriving. /biz/ doesn't seem upset, either.
Split POTUS/Congress years tend to be decent for markets because it's a firm status quo usually. No volatility or radical new directives.
>>545568430just wait for the black swan as he dies from realizing he is not needed anymore
>>545567877Cause Trump’s a veto machine at best
>>545567877Trump is unironically the closest the country has come to a Mao Zedong-style cultural revolution.
>>545567877Because the dems have improved the economy literally every year since the second world war you impotent faggot
>>545568430Not if a political party has a 2/3 majority in both houses.
>>545567877We are no in full grid lock mode, nothing will get done now and markets know it.
>>545567877>Jewish meme economics does meme thingsWhy do so many people ask inane questions?
>>545567877Because the Tard in Chief just got a new Wrangler
>>545567877stock markets are for middle class who gives a fuck
>>545568435>dems will repeal tariffsDoubt.
>>545569958thats the best state for a government to be in
>>545568353anon, you are never gonna make it trading financial products like a bank. You need to trade financial products like a ma and pa country store. Buy inventory for when things pick up next spring, good product that you know you will be able to sell.
>>545567877SI
>>545568403>>545568850This is not the experience the average person has had. You have to live through a few cycles to get a feel for it.
