Lost in all the excitement was that on the day Biden was sworn in, the Dow hit an all-time high....

....31,188.38

If trump was on Twitter, would we be hearing anything about that from him?

And since January 20, there have been nine additional records set, and it closed again last night at an ALL-TIME HIGH of 32,584.50, and at this moment is at an even higher record, 32,592.17.

Isn't that how trump judged the "success" of his administration?

When all is said and done, it will pump up the stock gains that Trump takes credit for.

Likewise, it will set a baseline that will make Biden gains less impressive. Or losses worse if it goes down from that point.

I know the market was priced in all ready but when stats are run that is not how they look at it. I know it is a bragging point but anything that makes 2022 harder makes me nervous.
