Quote:I'm fine pretending the stock market isn't higher and the dollar isn't at a 14 year high, if that's what you want.

 

It's better than pretending that there's something good to celebrate about the last 8 years other than the fact it's quickly coming to a much welcomed end.

 

And bonds took a tumble.  Because investors think Trump is going to launch a huge new budget busting stimulus plan, which, while it could drive stocks higher, will also drive up inflation and cause the fed to raise interest rates.   So, yeah, stocks are higher, bonds are lower.  

 

But if you want to use the stock market as a gauge of success, the stock market has tripled since Obama took office.  You going to give Obama credit for that?
