I think the higher interest rates and fiscal stimulus was what it's been waiting for the last couple of years... Hopefully he doesn't screw up it by going over protectionist.
You hope the guy that ran on protectionism doesn't go overly protectionist. That's logical Doogie.
Truth is I don't know what's going to happen to the markets. Trump said all sorts of crazy shit when he was running. Maybe that was all an act to get the mouth breathers like you, Mikey, and Gassman to vote for him. Maybe he'll actually do an effective stimulus. Maybe his protectionist stance is just a way to start negotiations. A tactic, not a goal.
Then again, he could turn around and moon Xi Jinping before saying "I'm bannin' da chinky chinky imports!" and fartin' in China's General direction. Who da fuck knows?
Certainly not you -- you're just an internet troll that ACTS like you know something about finance. Truth is that you really don't know much 'bout anything.
Love how zippy contradicts himself there. First says it's illogical for me to say I hope Trump protectionism doesn't hurt. Then he starts to argue how Trump's protectionism might not hurt!
Too funny!
Rice paddy? WTF Mikey man?
Are you practicing things to say to your future Chinese overlords?
Real Chinese cuisine is quite varied and not necessarily dominated by rice.
I'm not pleased at all about Trump winning. And I could not care less what these markets do, except in that the sooner they come down, the better for our country. Casino Capitalism accomplishes nothing good.

All it would take is the President, the Democrats, and just a bit more than 1/3 of the Republicans and the Constitution could be amended right now to eliminate the electoral college, effective for this election.
We could ask those most qualified, the 8 sitting justices of the Supreme Court, to write the amendment.
Sometimes it is strange crises which force progress. Bring the United States forward out of the 19th Century.
Otherwise with this claim of weekly contact with Russians and the FBI announcements, it's "What did Trump know and when did he know it?" As it will be necessary to impeach him and require the same congressional 2/3rds.
Obama missed his FDR moment when he failed to nationalize or even re-regulate the banks. Well now on his way out he can have an even greater moment by finally fixing our system so that every vote counts, and averting a disaster of epic proportions.
Governing the most powerful nation in the world is nothing like a sporting match, as the stakes are so much higher. We all need therefore to think very hard about what is needed, and then do it.
