1. S&P 500 up 3.1% in 20 months, that's a 1.85% annualized rate - basically a stall

About the sizzling hot market and the great 401k's you've been hearing about from the MAGAts -- the stock market has stalled over the last 20 months

up just 3.1% since 1/26/2018, 20 months ago (a 1.85% annualized rate), and that journey has been one with harrowing roller coaster ups and downs.

S&P 500 (much more representative of the U.S. stock market and what people own than the Dow 30)

2873     1/26/2018 close
2962     9/27/2019 close
+3.10%     (1.85% annualized rate)

and right now we're basically in an "up bump" phase in the Trump market cycles with yet another trade truce with China, despite Friday's story about the Trump admin looking at ways to delist Chinese stocks https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-what-investors-need-to-know-about-white-house-talks-to-limit-portfolio-inflows-into-china-2019-09-27

The great "Trump" record up to 1/26/2018 (one year and 6 days since Inauguration Day) was of course, a continuation of the Obama boom, and before all the Trump trade war garbage started, and before the TCJA Trump Tax Cuts for the Corporados took effect.

2. Good analysis. Thanks!

The long-term analysis is always a good counter to the daily fluctuations, which can be extreme. Thank you!

3. Thanks. Now it's gotten worse: up 2.3% in 20 months -- a 1.4% annualized rate. n/t

As of Tuesday 10/1 close.
