said a bunch of the dip came after Trump's address

Her initial reaction was the markets were not impressed or comforted - which struck me as his primary purpose behind his address - as he seems to care a lot more about the economy than the people because in his view, his future electability depends more on the economy than the well being of Americans.

EDIT:

looks like someone already got this

If it remains down 800 it could be a negative 1600 opening tomorrow which is freefall territory.

...and changed my payroll allocation to match. Did the same with my kid's 529 plan a couple of days ago.

I'm waiting for Dolt45 to proclaim "Dow passes 24k!", without mentioning which direction it's going.

Don't think it's fallen quite that far yer.

It'll get under 20k before it stops.
