As expected, the Dow bounced back today (+209)

So much for all the "the collapse is coming" posts two days ago.

1. exactly. frankly it's better for donnie to have the market jump *after* his speech.

makes it look like an endorsement or approval of sorts.

personally i think the sotu had very little impact on the stock market, there are bigger factors at play.

2. We need to stop caring about the Dow, it is a tool for fascists and plutocrats. Their oracle.

Dow goes up, Dow goes down. Who cares? This needs to be our position.

7. You want the stock market to collapse?

That's troubling.

[Lurks Often]

12. So you want millions of Democrats to lose their 401K investments?

That doesn't sound like a very liberal or progressive position to take.

5. Hpw do you not care if your retirement is invested?

[brooklynite]

8. Whenever I ask that question, the response seems to be "I don't have investments"...

...and if you do have money invested, you're apparently too rich to be a good Democrat,

9. Everybody knows Democrats are poor

mostly unemployed folks on welfare and no investments at all.

Even according to some people here.

6. Some people seem to wish for the collapse of retirement accounts for middle class Americans. Hmmm...

10. +1. We need to quit focusing on this, conspiracies, etc. There's plenty to

criticize trump on that doesn't make us look like white wingers during Obama's terms.

11. Meh, normal bounce...

pretty much happens every time. It was down 600, though, over 3 days, right?

Let's see how the end of the week goes, and if people continue to sell off.
