to hear that? I know it just took a big dive and bounced back a little, but if it recovers again somehow, we'll hear about it from Trump again.

1. Now you have idiots buying Hertz--a company that's filing bankruptcy...

And Hertz wants SEC permission to issue more shares to sell to them!! Do those fools not know what happens if they do Chapter 7 BK and totally dissolve the Company? It would be one thing if they guaranteed to only file 11 or 13 reorganization but who would trust them?

Hertz could come back with a slightly different name but stock in the old Corporation will be worthless. If it was like the days gone by where you received those beautiful and elaborate stock issues on paper it might be worth buying a couple of shares.

2. If One Trended The DJIA From 11/8/16 To Now...

...using the average of the last 5 years of the Obama administration, the Dow would be at 27,400.
It has to go up 7.2% to get where it would have been anyway.
Why we can't use that to counter any "triumph" claimed is difficult to accept.
