The Dow Just Hit An All-Time High following Trump victory
2016-11-11
[Daily Caller] The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all-time intraday high of 18,873.6 Thursday, the day after Donald Trump was elected president.

The Dow average also hit an all-time high before the closing bell Wednesday. The Nasdaq composite underperformed Thursday and was down .3 percent two hours after noon and the S&P 500 is up about 4 points.

Liberal economists like Paul Krugman had anticipated that a Trump election would be disastrous for the markets. Initially, Tuesday night they were plunging but surged on Wednesday.

Krugman said Tuesday night, "If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never."

#8  Not holding my breath that this 'surge' will continue. Thinking it may be the 'friends of HillBill' (with the other usual suspects) running with their products prior to inauguration.

Running while the getting (and taking) is good.

Hoping I'm wrong. Really hoping.

Even if he's alone in the room.

#4  Krugman will be in good company as he marches along with the throng of political pollsters we've listened to these many months.

File under failed economists and MSM. For the left, everything is done or framed in terms of a looney, liberal ideology.
