| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 163 Posts: 5597 | The Dow barely went up today, same with the other indices. Still haven't looked at my daily results but I am certain the daily profit was less than the current cost of buying 1000 gallons of premium at Chevron: 1000 jX $6.70 per gallon = $6700.00. But my point was and is that the "AI boom" is, while not unprecedented, the biggest factor in the market today, and but for Trump's Folly the results would be much, much sweeter indeed. No doubt the fat oaf and his handlers will spin it so it looks like he alone is responsible for its current growth, but non-MAGA folks who refuse to drink the Kool-Aid can see clearly that such a claim would be a lie. |

Down today Looks like a reaction to inflation coming in hot and gas prices continuing to rise Scary times We have a new Fed chairman He may be beholden to Trump rather then the US economy I liked Jerome Powell. He did what needed to be done to keep inflation in check Will this next guy lower interest rates fueling more inflation listening to dumb Trump |

Of course: Trump is going to bankrupt us, it's what he does. Remember, this clown openly claimed recently that the financial situation of We, the People doesn't matter to him whatsoever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdFnyhjI_fo He hides his contempt for us in plain sight. |
