No one knows. It's best not to try to predict using logic and events, partly because it's an exercise in trying to convince yourself you are right--not a good attitude for a trader to be adopting.
I will say what I think I can predict, which is I doubt our lawmakers will be able to agree on a tax bill or a health care bill. How that will affect any markets, who knows.

An economy that's teetering around the 2% mark warrants rate hikes? Current estimate by AtlantaGDPNow for Q1 is 1.3%, although that will change by month's end.
What's the real reason for the hike: 1) they're following a measure (LIBOR, short term bonds, whatever) and would like to stick with that, 2) Yellen and some on the board are Hillary fans and hiking rates...... 3) they want to get out in front of the next recession (moronic but these people probably think like that).
Not a problem.I apologize for late reply,not subscribing to threads,I like to go where my eyes take me

"Notably, Buffett himself isn't an iPhone user. When asked about his technology investments, he whipped out a flip phone from his coat pocket."

Buffett never said he would sell the AAPL shares. Also, the size of the investment means it was a Buffett call, not that of his underlings like your article said.
Regards,
obviously he won't say that,time will tell.
I see what you mean.Yes this was my speculation that he has visions of selling those shares back to Apple with a profit
2% growth is neutral. 0% interest rates are stimulative.
You 're supposed to have neutral interest rates with neutral growth.
But if you think that Fed mandate is inflation and employment and not GDP
and inflation is above neutral, and full employment
So rate hikes are very logical. They should ve reached 3% long ago
Eliminating regulations . . .
This worries me. Sounds like a communist ploy. Convince the leadership to buy into it, then use the minions to eliminate all the GOOD regulations and keep the bad ones.
Well, as I was very careful to point out, The devil is in the details. You are right to be worried. A simple Trump directive to eliminate two regulations for each new one runs the same risk as his other shoot from the hip orders! Instead you have to appoint a competent, i.e., experienced, review committee that works to well thought out guidelines. Then you avoid chaos by not too hastily eliminating needed regulations. I think he has appointed Kushner to head up this process, but God help us if Kushner doesn't listen to more experienced hands.
The problem with trying to predict the outcome of lies is that although one can reliably predict what won't happen -- Mexico won't pay for a Wall -- one has no idea of what will.
The Dow will hit 50,000 by the end of Trumps first term. Mortgage interest rates will go up to 7.5 or 8%, but home prices will stay the same as they are today. Average income will be about $75-$80k per year vs the $56k it is today. Millennials who have no investments and are renters will be hurting by then and want Trump out more than ever. They will be going apeshit, no doubt. Gen Z'ers who will just be starting to vote, will see how well their Gen x parents have done and vote republican so they can have more of the same.
