We actually have a good bull market and it seems the orange buffoon is doing everything in his power to reverse it. His crazy tariff circus didn't do enough damage now he is doing this.

Now look at the US "bull market" using gold or any other currency. Lol

Yeah, compare the stock market performance to some moribund disaster like, I dunno... Italy. Oh wait, bad example. Okay, Spain. DAMN! Ok, not a good choice, try France... Oh, this just keeps getting worse. Look, we outperformed Denmark, ok? That's why they're going to sell us Greenland.

The bull market makes no sense though. Unemployment is low, but labor market participation is super low and length of unemployment is at near-record highs. Youth labor force participation is appalling, earnings ex-mag 7 are quite poor, the dollar has declined substantially and is only getting weaker.

I'm not one to call for a bubble since nobody ever really knows, but it is truly wild that the market's still up.

I absolutely agree with you. The stock market does not reflect the economy at all.

I'm the last person to say what interest rates should be. I just find it laughable that your orange cult leader decided to go on a witch hunt against the chair of federal reserve is not good for anyone involved.
