This is horrible news. What about the poor? The wealth gap keeps getting larger, it's not fair, we must stop it.
To all the millions of able bodied welfare recipients...If there was no wealth gap, where would your welfare check come from? Duh!

The Obama stock market is still moving on the exact same trend line it has for the past nine years. Trump hasn’t done anything, so make sure to say thanks to Obama.

Really, what happened his last two years after QE was ended?
errc says
Really, he's had no effect on the market? How much QE did it take for this rise in the market the last year?

Thanks that he's gone, now the country can move forward.

The slope of the trend changed drastically from the first trading day after Trump won the election.
That is a clear indication it is a Trump rally.
Post any 8 year chart and show me where Trump broke the trend line

QE in Japan and Europe makes its way across the world. 2T was printed this year. Fed interest rates are still at 1%. With the economy this hot, interest rates were close to 4% in 2007.

Are you serious? You don't know that both ECB and BOJ are printing money this year at 2T annual pace?
You want to back that up with something, like with proof maybe?

Goldman put out a research note showing correlation between low European and Japanese yields and lower than should be US yields. You don't need Goldman to tell you that. It's a common sense that if interest rates are artificially low in those countries, people will take their money to US increasing demand for US assets - both equities and bonds.
Yep serious, show us the correlation to the US market with some real facts and charts, not hyperbole, that this is what made our market rise this year.

Yet, Trump has done what, exactly to make the market rally? Must be the border adjustment tax? The Muslim ban? The Wall? The repeal of Obamacare?
A veritable litany of accomplishments, and the market is nonplussed.

Anything bad that happened under Obama is Bush's fault. Anything good that happened after Obama is Obama's responsibility. Got it.

Market confidence is the key. Obama couldn’t go five minutes without issuing an executive order that put a cramp on some part of the economy, but one of Trump’s first orders was to cut TWO regulations for every new one issued! And to cut thousands of regulations that may be unnecessary! He’s done everything he can do as a POTUS to inspire confidence in capitalism and the economy, predicting great times ahead and lots of MAGA.
That’s all people were really waiting for.

"Trump's election is going to crush and depress markets, get out now.". Timing the top is never easy I guess it is just testament to what a great job Obama did. Took us from Bush's bottom to Obama's top ... whenever we finally get there.

Ted Rall drew this in 2009. He predicted the attitude of the mainstream Democratic Voter years in advance.

What this shows is that both Obama and Trump are increasing wealth inequality by increasing asset prices with their policies. There does not have to be an immediate inflection point. Just many decisions that support the same thing.

Huh? I’m fully vested so I know this simple and obvious fact.
You are the one who is confused. You could prove me wrong and post the charts, but you can’t so you won’t because obviously I’m correct and you are lying.
The Obama trend line is still intact

They have 2 or 3 jobs because of an improving economy. If we were in a recession, they would be lucky to have even one job.
And all of this wonderful news in the markets is helping the people working two and three jobs exactly how ? A large portion of the "base" if you will, what exactly are they gaining from this ?

This seems to be entirely untrue. Raises are given to retain essential employees with critical knowledge so they don’t leave for higher wages elsewhere. Yes, they aren’t related to company earnings, but to the amount of stroke the employee or group of employees has with management. The more power the workers have, the more they can demand. Generally you get more power as a worker by learning to do technical things which few others can do in your workplace or profession. Then, just let the bosses bid up your salary in a competition for your services!
But if you don’t ask/demand you won’t receive. It’s a rare boss that offers a significant raise without having their arm twisted first.
Raises are EARNED based on personal performance, has nothing to do with the company earnings.

They both fueled the market. Obama mainly by proxy of the fed QE program, Trump by removing red tape and trying to force a US first attitude.

Then post a link to where you posted an eight year chart where the Obama trend line was breached. I don’t think you can do it which is why you keep deflecting.
Anyone who owns stocks knows that the Obama trend is still in tact

I posted the charts TWICE, you seem to have problems understanding the two charts. If you think those two trend lines are the same, I feel sorry for you.
Did you take math from Marcus by any chance?

U.S. stock-market indexes ended at records and near session highs on Tuesday, finding support on another round of strong earnings, with technology shares leading the way.
The S&P 500 index rose 16.89 points, or 0.7%, to close at a record 2,599.03. Nearly all the main sectors traded higher, with the technology and health-care stocks leading the gains.
The Nasdaq Composite advanced 71.76 points, or 1.1%, to finish at 6,862.48, also setting a record.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 160.5 points, or 0.7%, to post an all-time closing high of 23,590.83, with 26 of its 30 components trading higher. Apple Inc.(AAPL) was leading the gains, up 1.9%.
The three equity benchmarks are up between 16% and nearly 28% for the year, helped by factors such as an expanding U.S. economy, growth in corporate profits and bets that the Trump administration will deliver tax cuts and other business-friendly policies.
