Totally agree with you Ralph - orangy really is going to make it 2016 again. All the gains were based on the previous administrations policies as they played out - the effects of the new policies are now being priced into the market - tariffs, trade wars, political instability, interference with the Fed, policy uncertainty, unstable leadership, excessive turnover of senior executives, rash uninformed impulsive decision making.... geez can it get worse than this.... oh yeah..... commander in chief

At times like this it’s really important to pull up a long term / 10 year DOW chart. Still a better than double: macrotrends.net Even more impressive if you pull up a 20 year chart. A triple and if you go back 25 years, a 7-bagger. What we are seeing right now is a political ego induced correction. The “real” money is telling “freshly baked” politicians to back off. The "freshly baked" is NOT exclusive to the US.

Ralph, you are making it political. I hope the thread doesn't go into the gutter because of it. You ignore the the FED's Balance Sheet Normalization. Or is that what you mean by starting 2 years ago. Of course its just a coincidence Powell reinforced the plan in September and it marked the top in the S&P. He did it again last week when he indicated now slowing down in the normalization of $50B a month when the market expected him to back off. zerohedge.com
