The great Trump Stock Crash is expected to continue.

Outspoken economist, Paul Krugman in concert with the New York Times are predicting disastrous crashes in stock prices because Trump!

They continue to advise everyone to dump their stocks and escape with their lives and fortunes intact while they can.

You can see the extent of the disaster here in a chart prepared by Krugman.

With some 10 million homes foreclosed on during 44's time the consensus is that there was a shift in the population not seen in out nations history. I had never heard of this until recently. I think 44 should crow about this the next time he laments the Trump effect.

I wonder if the demand for boxes, which is a sure sign of growth in this country, went off the rails as people were in dire need to fill them with their earthly possessions as they wandered like nomads on the Mongolian Steppes in search of a new yurt.

This would give the mistaken impression of just how great things were back in the day.

Flashback: We Were Told A Trump Presidency Would CRASH The Stock Market

What I'd like to know is, could the word "collusion" describe a deliberate abuse of the reader's confidence by media editors and financial "experts" who made false alarmist predictions in order to scare the voters away from Trump and ensure Hillary's win?

These false forecasts were made at about the same time by a wide number of sources, which requires a certain amount of coordination. That suggests the existence of a massive fraud perpetrated on investors, causing them to make bad decisions with their savings.

The only potential beneficiary of such a scam was Hillary and the gang of crooks she surrounded herself with. Shouldn't there be a special investigation into that?

Speaking of which, I still think the 2008 financial meltdown was also timed to help Obama win. Granted, the preconditions for the collapse did objectively exist, but that it happened a few months before the election still looks too convenient. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it all started with a run on one big bank provoked by Chuck Schumer's "careless" public remark. Just a little prick with a needle, nothing to see here, move along.

How to part conscious coordination within a prog-phalanx from its subconscious cross-coordination while goosestepping?

(hello, gleichschaltung!)

2018 will be another bad year just like 2017.

Today was the first day of trading in 2018 and the market closed thus:

A most excellent observation and incisive analysis!
