I'm disgusted with the stock market

These clowns pump up the market every other day based on some tiny piece of news that never turns out to be true.
Face it- Trump has hired a group of three year olds to run a formula one pit crew. That's how I see it when I look at Kushner and friends and how they are following TSF's orders for peace negotiations. None of those idiots can handle such a high stakes task.

Bad economic numbers? Yay! Rally!

Lies spewing forth? Yay! Rally!

on the corruption while people like you and me who depend on the market to keep up with inflation lose trust because it is no longer anything other than gambling. I just can't see how this ends well.

Selling Municipal bonds, trading OTC stocks and ending as a hedge fund manager. I ‘m glad I’m not working anymore in that industry it is so corrupt now! And the SEC is toothless and a dead agency who no longer does oversight.

Just my 2 cents, which probably isn't enough to invest in the market!
