U.S. markets wrap up worst week since the 2008 financial crisis

8. I don't disagree at all. Today's Dow close at 19,174 is between the election day close of 18,333

and the last close before inaugural day of 19,732.

The MAGAt's often use the election day close as their benchmark under the rationale that Trump's election caused a surge of optimism that a real business tycoon and Republican administration would get rid of "job-killing Obama-era regulations" and "Make America Great Again".

Those values (Dow 19,732.40 and S&P 500 2,263.69) are January 19, 2017 closing values, not January 20 ones, for those who might be wondering -- it say "Stock Market News for January 20, 2017" but they were reporting on the previous day's close.
