Except this one can be backed up by numbers.

Keep crying while some of us keep investing. You could be doing it too.

Should maybe think about selling...the Dow crashed today (largest one day points crash in history eclipsing the 2008 record crash by over 300 points).


Fox News had to interrupt Trump bragging about the economy in Ohio to cover the largest Dow drop in history.

Am I crazy for thinking that this and the drop on Friday isn't coincidental after last weeks SOTU and the release of the memo that outlines corruption within our government?

In Trump's world...since he wanted to take credit for the rise, he takes credit for the fall.

In reality, it likely has more to do with people worrying about the bubble bursting, then it snowballed. It'll eventually correct itself.

[CCTAU]

Just a rebalance. Economy is kicking ass. So much so that the fed will raise rates. This is causing a sell off.


Still winning!

You really wanna go there on this ricky bubba? Because you are going to run out of CNN and Huffington Post talking points that you copy and paste.

You think one day or one week defines a market?

You moron.

And now you wanna tout gross number and not %'s? Make up your mind. No President gets credit or fault for what a market does in a day or week. NOT. HOW. IT. WORKS. Presidents get credit and fault for policies and direction that do things over months and years.

See the bold....although I'm sure your liberal columnists and bloggers from Occupy know much more than real economists....

Stocks have lost steam with investors refocusing on the potential for faster inflation growth. Job gains in January fueled those concerns, turning a spotlight on the Federal Reserve and its timeline for interest rate hikes. A stronger-than-expected gain of 200,000 U.S. jobs was seen as raising the odds that the central bank will increase its benchmark rate in March. The report also offered more evidence that the U.S. economy is gaining strength with wages climbing at their strongest pace since 2009.

A period of higher interest rates and stronger inflation would create a stark contrast to recent years, when accommodative monetary policies—headlined by near-zero interest rates—helped support the U.S. economy and equities.

The business climate will remain a positive for the stock market even after Monday’s selloff, according to Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Asset Management.

“This is technical, not fundamental,” Doll told FOX Business’ Liz Claman on “Countdown to the Closing Bell.” “This economic cycle is far from over.”

Jeff Carbone, managing partner for Cornerstone Wealth, said there was “no real impetuous” for Monday’s pullback

“The backdrop of the economy is strong corporate earnings, positive economic data and tax reform. The fundamentals have not changed,” Carbone said. “Investors have been looking for a catalyst to sell off, and rising interest rates [and] inflationary signs, along with concerns of the Washington memo, are in the spotlight.”

Leave it up to the king of the gutter trash, Sean Hannity, to try and blame Obama for the largest point drop in DOW history. Claimed that it was "cheap money". Did he ever mention this "cheap money" for the past year? Nope, he just kept praising Trump for the success...until it wasn't.

Yep cheap money from low interest rates in a stagnant economy for so long.  The stock market is a segment, a puzzle piece.  It’s not THE economy.

And certainly not 3 days of it's movement.

And hannity has a good point. Obama kept Int rates low way too long. It's been long overdue for the fed to correct this.

Answer to OQ:

YES

[War Eagle!!!]

You didn't like or support Barack Obama and he brought this Country up from another Depression (which is one of the reasons why he's among the top 15). Then, you should've left this Country years ago.

imma just leave this here:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/02/07/more-texts-between-strzok-and-page-uncovered-lead-to-more-questions.html

Newly revealed text messages between FBI paramours Peter Strzok and Lisa Page include an exchange about preparing talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey to give to President Obama, who wanted “to know everything we’re doing."

The message, from Page to Strzok, was among thousands of texts between the lovers reviewed by Fox News. The pair both worked at one point for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Page wrote to Strzok on Sept. 2, 2016, about prepping Comey because "potus wants to know everything we're doing." According to a newly released Senate report, this text raises questions about Obama's personal involvement in the Clinton email investigation.

In texts previously revealed, Strzok and Page have shown their disdain for Republicans in general, as well as Trump, calling him a "f---ing idiot," among other insults.

Among the newly disclosed texts, Strzok also calls Virginians who voted against then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's wife for a state Senate seat "ignorant hillbillys." (sic)

That text came from Strzok to Page on Nov. 4, 2015, the day after Jill McCabe lost a hotly contested Virginia state Senate election. Strzok said of the result, "Disappointing, but look at the district map. Loudon is being gentrified, but it's still largely ignorant hillbillys. Good for her for running, but curious if she's energized or never again."

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., along with majority staff from the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, is releasing the texts, along with a report titled, “The Clinton Email Scandal and the FBI's Investigation of it.”

The newly uncovered texts reveal a bit more about the timing of the discovery of "hundreds of thousands" of emails on former Congressman Anthony Weiner's laptop, ultimately leading to Comey's infamous letter to Congress just days before the 2016 presidential election.

On Sept. 28, 2016, Strzok wrote to Page, "Got called up to Andy's [McCabe] earlier.. hundreds of thousands of emails turned over by Weiner's atty to sdny [Southern District of New York], includes a ton of material from spouse [Huma Abedin]. Sending team up tomorrow to review... this will never end." According to the Senate report, this text message raises questions about when FBI officials learned of emails relevant to the Hillary Clinton email investigation on the laptop belonging to Weiner, the husband to Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

It was a full month later, on Oct. 28, 2016, when Comey informed Congress that, "Due to recent developments," the FBI was re-opening its Clinton email investigation.

"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday..." Comey said at the time.

The question becomes why Comey was only informed by his investigative team on Oct.  27, if the Clinton emails on Weiner’s laptop were discovered by Sept. 28, at the latest.

Other texts show more examples of the officials' opposition to Trump.

On Election Day 2016, Page wrote, "OMG THIS IS F***ING TERRIFYING." Strzok replied, "Omg, I am so depressed." Later that month, on Nov. 13, 2016, Page wrote, "I bought all the president's men. Figure I need to brush up on watergate."

The next day, Nov. 14, 2016, Page wrote, “God, being here makes me angry. Lots of high fallutin’ national security talk. Meanwhile we have OUR task ahead of us.”

Page’s meaning here is unclear, but Senate investigators say, coupled with Strzok’s Aug. 15 text about an “insurance policy,” further investigation is warranted to find out what actions the two may have taken.

The last text is from Page to Strzok, and comes on June 23, 2017, when she wrote, "Please don't ever text me again."

It's unclear whether she was mad at her friend, or if she suddenly became aware that they, and their thousands of texts, had been discovered.
