The Stock Market is down the past two days, off 600 points from the high.

What do you think? Bad optics for Donnie tonight.
Will it recover, or has the correction started.

1. inevitable - and less than 2% - not good for dump, but it should be watched

to see if it is a bump or the beginning of a free fall

2. I suspect it is all to make him

look good when it soars the day after his speechifying.

I don't believe in it as anything more than Trump's tool anymore.

3. That is both possible and probable.

After all, the Conman raided the treasury for them.

4. really?

do you think that the stock market is some conglomerate of trump voters that are working to make him look good? C'mon, just cause the market goes down by a couple % points doesnt mean much. If we dont point out every time it goes up, why is it every time it goes down someone has to point it out? Personally I'm not surprised, the market shot up at the end of last week, coming back down now, likely will start to go up again in the near future.

6. It's pointing to an aberration in a trend

"If we dont point out every time it goes up, why is it every time it goes down someone has to point it out?"

It's pointing to an aberration in a trend, regardless of whether than aberration is up or down. Your inference inaccurately ignore the aberration itself, and pretend that up or down market movements, regardless of context, are the object of interest.

Mocking what you perceive as fallacious thought has resulted in your own fallacy.

5. Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Team Up to Disrupt Health Care.

*News of the announcement sent the stocks of established health care providers plunging, and touched off a wave of speculation about what the new company might do. It was unclear whether the new venture would make it easier for consumers to understand their health care costs and access medical records, or take on more ambitious changes like the wider use of telemedicine and virtual doctor visits.'>>>

7. YAY!!!

Oh, isn’t this where someone’s supposed to say that the market is “rigged” or “a ponzi scheme”, or “only for the 1%”?
