The market is seeing something we dont see yet—

Well I agree. Though China seems keen on trying to replace the dollar with their currency. Didn't mean unlimited printing ended permanently, but rather the insane injection of it stopped for the time being.
Trump is just mad that money printing stopped on his watch when he needs it to support his waging of his own war so he's crying foul. My dad used to tell me that if you look at it, every US president in history has/had his own war except Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton (until the very end when they decided to bomb the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade behind Clinton's back), every single one gets Feds to print money for him once the Gold Standard is kicked out of the door and the ones that didn't results(ed) in recession or depression instead. So we will see how far the Fed will go this time.
China has no choice or they will face insane inflation. They are printing out of control, there so deep in it, they can't go back... It's almost inevitable given there debt outlook, for those two not to end in military stuff. US Dollar survival and reserve currency status depends on Petro Dollar, hence military enforcement if a non G-20 country tries to get out of line. China's only hope to avoid extreme social disruption, is to have it's dollar in very high demand through commodities or trade, given the amount of money they are printing. They have a so called " hidden " debt system, that could reach 7-8 Trillion US. Financial leaders there are borderline financially nuts, they make Zuckerberg's greed look humble
I like you, you are a good contributor to this forum! But dude you gotta understand this once and for all if you are to understand really economy and trading... As long as the US retains its Petro Dollar status, they can and will print to unlimited. The US Budget on paper, is 985 Billion for 2019... Central Banks never stopped printing money, it never stops, it cant stop at this point
This is Powell that the markets react negatively to. Unlike the president, he refuses to attune to the investors concerns. Maybe also to the radical "progressive" left in the Congress.

Trump should’ve left his name off the market. His candidacy was all about the economy wasn’t great, the unemployment numbers were fudged, etc. He got elected and all of a sudden the unemployment numbers are the greatest ever, the stock market is the greatest we’ve ever seen because of his policies.
I really don’t see why a president should focus on the stock market at all as some form of measurement. It’s all speculation. We’re all speculators here.... what’s the true value of the stock market... if Bezo’s wanted to unload his ownership in Amazon right now one one trade, what would the true value of Amazon be at that particular transaction.

Ok you need to do some research on China. First of all, its currency is NOT the dollar. It's called RMB Yuan.
Second, to be fair to China, although China's debt is increasing but it's still demured and remains in control comparing to other countries. And the debt number by itself is meaningless. It needs to be compared to its GDP which is its income. Here is the top ten countries with the highest debt-to-GDP ratio: https://learn.stashinvest.com/10-countries-with-largest-national-debt-to-gdp. While China's current debt-to-GDP ratio as of Oct. of 2018 is 47.60% less than half of how much it makes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_debt_of_China. For a country that has large military spending, this debt-to-GDP ratio is quite good given the concern for its lack of transparency and the questionable method of recording and accounting for its debt.
Now I do want to point out one thing. As I have stated earlier, the debt number by itself is meaningless. It needs to be compared to its GDP which is its income which means that just because a country's debt is increasing doesn't necessarily mean it's printing money or printing money faster. If a country's debt is increasing but its income, its GDP is increasing at a faster rate, then its national debt is in control; they are not necessarily printing money. USA and many countries's debt level is worrisome because it's borrowing more than its national income can cover especially when some countries like Bhutan and Greece that has no structured economy to produce adequate income to support its debt.
Also, even if a country's printing money as you it would not necessarily result in inflation or inflation would not necessarily increase. Inflation only increases when the amount of money supply is not supported by its productivity of producing goods that worths the nominal value of paper money in circulation. If there is a nominal value of $1 trillion of paper money in circulation, but if the country's producing $1 trillion worth of goods and services, there is no inflation. And USA's "printing money" is concerning because its productivity is not high enough to support the nominal value of money supply.
Everything is relative of each other. You have to discuss both sides of the equation when you are talking an issue, not just quoting some slogans.
1% is too low, the number you wanted was 2%
1 cent invested at 1% for 2018 years is just $5million.
But 1 cent invested at 2% for 2018 years is more money than there is in the world today.

I favor of all of those things.
Without border security, America is doomed. And a Hell of a lot faster without a wall that with it. This is the FINAL chance at getting a wall. After Jan 20, that hope will be gone. I suspect Schumer will not budge, however. If the government stays shut down until Jan 20, it will be billed as "Trump's fault".... and the Lefty/Commie/DemoCraps will have won on a crucial issue for their "destroy America" agenda.
