November 9: Market stumbles as
tax reform hits a snag
"There's two competing bills, and one's more horrible than the next," said
Michael Block, chief market strategist at Rhino Trading Partners.
The markets have soared under President Trump, at least in part on hopes that
his administration would pass tax reform and cut regulations.
"There's a certain
amount of optimism baked into the market, particularly [with regard to]
corporate taxes being cut," said Andres Garcia-Amaya, global market strategist
at Zoe Financial, an independent wealth management firm.

January 31:
Wall Street is rebounding from the worst two-day tumble since President Trump's
election.
The Dow climbed more than 200 points on Wednesday morning, signaling that the
sell-off earlier this week may have been a blip instead of the start of a
more serious downturn. The Dow's two-day loss of 2% was its worst since
September 2016. But
the bounce also shows how the markets have suddenly become a bit more turbulent.
The VIX (VIX)
volatility index has spiked 30% this week to a five-month high. The S&P 500
broke a record streak without consecutive drops of 0.5%.

February 5:
The markets plunged Monday, with the Dow falling
nearly 1,600 points in the largest intraday point decline ever. ... The selloff
knocked the Dow down as much as 6.3%.
At its worst levels, the Dow has fallen 2,200 points over the past two sessions.
The plunge sent the Dow below
24,000. It hasn't closed below that level since November 29.
If the decline holds, it will be the worst single-day point decline in Dow
history. The Dow fell 777 points on September 29, 2008.
The Nasdaq slumped more than 2% on Monday, quickly turned positive, then sank
again.

February 8: The Dow Jones industrial
average plunged 1,033 points Thursday, its second-worst drop in history,

The blue-chip stock
average’s recent drubbing, which follows its record 1,175-point drop Monday, has
been fueled by fears that an era of low interest rates and tame inflation that
have driven up stock prices may be nearing an end.

February 9: American
presidents cannot help but pay attention to the stock market. The reasons should

largely divorced from the country's economic fundamentals, it's undeniable that

U.S. economy. And fairly or not, presidents take credit or receive blame for
economic and market performance on their watch.

sink in ...
Trump’s decision to levy tariffs on Chinese importsfueled concerns on Wall Street that other nations
will retaliate with their own measures targeting U.S. trade. Investors are also
weighing the impact on manufacturers and other companies that could be hit with
higher costs. The administration recently imposed tariffs on aluminum and steel,
although it exempted some nations including Canada and Mexico.
“For companies that sell to China, or indeed any country outside the U.S., the
effects are likely to be negative—which is why markets are reacting again,” Brad
McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial Network, wrote in
a note to clients.

Disaster Is Inevitable When America's Stock Market Bubble Bursts
Despite the volatility and brief correction earlier this year, the U.S. stock
market is back to making record highs in the past couple weeks. To many
observers, this market now seems downright bulletproof as it keeps going higher
and higher as it has for nearly a decade in direct defiance of the naysayers'
warnings. Unfortunately, this unusual market strength is not evidence of a
strong, organic economy, but of an extremely unhealthy, artificial bubble
economy that will end in a crisis that will be even worse than we
experienced in 2008.

The Dow
Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 650 points Monday -- the worst
Christmas Eve trading session in the country's history, according to experts --
after eyebrow-raising comments by the treasury secretary, an escalating trade
with China, and amid an
economic slowdown.
Stocks are negative for the year, and the
Dow has fallen thousands of points from its high of nearly 27,000.
The Dow ended the day a dramatic 653 points lower at 21,792 in an abbreviated
trading session ahead of the Christmas holiday, down nearly 10 percent from a
mere week ago. The day's losses of 2.9 percent, added to last week's of 6.8
percent, set the stage for a sober last week of trade this year.
