Not to give Trump credit for a major part of the economic boom is to have little understanding of human nature. Under Obama business was looked down on, outlook was all bad unless you are a crony hooked to the gov’t. You did not build that these “incentives” reduce economic output because no one likes to swim against the current. Trump loves business and promotes it at every chance.
The current has changed direction and yet some people are surprised there are more swimmers?? People who know that something fake, like the apple/alar scare can do major thinsg to an economy, but for some reason can not give Trump credit for the exact improved business conditions he said his election would yield. Reason has been so well funded and popular of late that some of it’s key people seem to be losing sight of what makes a better world and instead are focusing on the imperfect nature of the one person who can inadvertently do the most i the most to advance liberty in our lifetime. He does not fit the conventional molds for politicians ,yet those who cherish Liberty seem confused on how to take advantage of the situation, and instead focus on carping about his personality flaws and his ignorance of parts of economics. We would do better to encourage and engage than criticize and demean.

The stock market, and other economic indicators, had been on an upward trend, beginning in the Obama administration, and the trend continued, (although it slowed a bit), during Trump’s year. If you’re going to credit any president with this trend, then you have to credit Obama.
If you think Trump is somehow responsible for the rise in the stock market, what can you point to that he’s done? What is the cause and effect? There is none. reply to this log in or register to reply Headache | 2.

If any of you have any idea of how/what makes the stock market works, you might make as much money as I.
First off the market is a leading indicator, second it is manipulated by big money, the FED, and some SEC rules. Now the under currents are talking about possible IMF action that can devastate the U.S.
economy. my March option straddles have paid big. You want to at a minimum be short through April expiration.
If interest rates go up then all the margins will be more expensive, If a trader is stretched on margins then that trader is forced to sell. So when big money believes something is going to negatively effect pricing then big money shorts and margins are called in, These two things alone can drive valuations down, pumping volatility and increasing risk. All making options more expansive.
The IMF action rumbling around, is the IMF is going to install crypto currency as a reserve for international trade clearing dethroning the U.S. dollar. And Trump gets blamed. The globalist will not give up power easily.
