Looks like Wall Street is trying to protect Trump. WTF is it going up at this time.

Are we getting ready for a hard fall? it makes no sense to me in view of the damage being done by the shutdown.

3. The DOW doesn't equal the UE rate or LFPR !!! The DOW could go up to 3123124 trillion and

... people still be job insecure.

See current furloughed federal employees

4. Repatriation of funds is continuing.

It has little to do with Trump outside of it being a direct result of his tax scam. It is one of the components that is currently helping to falsely prop up the markets.

5. "Wall Street" is protecting Trump?

That is not at all how it works. I assume you are referring to the Dow or S&P average, which is going up today. That is a result of the decision by every person and institution on Earth to buy or sell stocks today. No one, not even this "Wall Street" entity, can control that.

6. no they are not. The market has lost over 2000 points on the Dow

There is a lot of uncertainty out there, and it is far from over

7. 80% of the population is living paycheck to paycheck with

little or no savings or disposable income. Retail stores are falling like dominos. The US economy is 70% consumer based and the cost of the American Criminal Enterprise Healthcare System is ever increasing. We currently have a completely disfunctional government. Won't take much more for the whole thing to go down the tubes!

9. Amen.

8. Rumor that the shutdown is ending....

10. Sure smelling that way.
