Toss out the 1st quarter of 2017 because technically it's an overlapping quarter. Through Trump's first 5 full quarters we've averaged 2.88% GDP per quarter. Over Obama's last 5 full quarters we averaged 1.58% GDP per quarter. It looks like we have a very realistic shot of hitting the magical 3%...

The Dow chart is misleading. From election night 2012 to election night 2016 the Dow increased by 38.4%. Since then it's increased 42.1%. Obama inherited a much more difficult situation than Trump. He did a decent job of getting us back to where we needed to be. I was disappointed that we never...

Trump isn't holding a marker. That picture was planted. This is clearly a deep state conspiracy. :D

History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. - Mark Twain. The stock market fell 14% over a 2 month span during the Watergate scandal. It dropped about 20% in the months leading up to the Kenneth Star report. I don't think we would see a huge crash like the financial crisis or the dotcom...

That would make sense. :thumbsup: The general premise behind the bill has merit. It makes sense for politicians to avoid conflicts of interest by only allowing them to invest in general mutual funds and ETF's that aren't too concentrated in individual areas. But the capitol gains hit could...

Yeah, but what if you have millions invested in individual stocks? You would be forced to liquidate them and pay capitol gains tax on every thing you sold. There are a lot of people that wouldn't want to do that all at once.
