Dow hits 50,000

Trump is fooling and screwing many Americans by giving them a false sense of short-term, superficial prosperity. The great collapse is coming within the coming weeks. Be ready.

Why is gold over $5000 an ounce? Weak dollar.

A slightly weak dollar is sometimes not a bad thing, but in this scenario it is actually much weaker than what is stated in the DXY due to the recent surge in gold and silver prices. DXY only measures USD against a handful of other foreign currencies.

Basically, the dollar is one global crisis away from completely tanking (read: losing 25% value in one fiscal year) and Trump seems eager to create such a crisis in the coming weeks.

My best friend over the last 7 years has been the good ol' CHF and will continue to be for the remainder of 2026.
CHF can be your best friend too, if you like.

Wall St is not Main St.

Making billionaires richer was always Combover Caligula's goal.

Meanwhile farmers are going bankrupt.
Manufacturers in the US are contracting.
Groceries, rent, utilities and healthcare are unaffordable.
Pedophiles are protected.

I've wondered why this is always promoted as the Dow is up. Is should be the dollar is down against the Dow.

@#9 ... I've wondered why this is always promoted as the Dow is up. ...

In my view, there are many who think the stock market is the economy.

As I have noted many times before, the stock market is not the economy.

It is mostly the wealthy who benefit from a rising stock market.

The rich now own a record share of stocks (2024)

... About 93% of U.S. households' stock market wealth is held by the top 10%. ...

While it's true that a record high 58% of American households do own stocks via mutual funds or as individual shares, in the aggregate the amount of stock most of these folks own is tiny. ...
