I really hope this isn't a trend.  Bad enough to lose 50,000 high paying jobs with the Keystone Pipeline cancellation, the 4M lost jobs if they pass a national $15/hr min wage and so on.

if it reflected the markets on Jan 29 if Trump had been re-elected?  He knows full well the results are mostly due to artificial manipulation of the markets based on factors bearing little or no relation to actual economic conditions on the ground.  Of course that has unfortunately become the situation with equities day to day for s coiple of decades...the entire stock market is no longer much reltionship to the economy.

Funny to watch him tie himself in knots to attempt to explain that axing thousounds to millions of jobs with a stroke of his pen did not even cause a ripple in the market.

All while saying IF IT happened under DJT - IF IT HAD happened under DJT Antifatech would have led the charge to post the information and spend days explaing why it was all DJT's fault.

Covid put the economy on life support, Dem policies are pulling the plug to kill it.

When Trump took over in January 2017 here are the numbers: 

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) - 19,732.40.

The S&P 500 - 2,263.69.

The Nasdaq Composite Index - 5,540.08.

On January 20, 2021 when Biden took over here are the numbers:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) - 30,930.52.

The S&P 500 - 3,798.91.

The Nasdaq Composite Index - 13,197.18.

So around January 20, 2025 will see these numbers to match the performance of the last 4 years?

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) - 48,482.92

The S&P 500 - 6,377.55.

The Nasdaq Composite Index - 31,417.91.

I hope so but I doubt it given what we have seen so far with Dementia Joe signing whatever's put in front of him even though he doesn't know what it is.

S & P 500 Jan 20 2012 vs Jan 20 2009....UP 83%

S & P 500 Jan 20 2021 vs Jan 20 2017....UP 67%

Why didn't you include this comparison MM?

BTW: Jan 20 2017 vs Jan 20 2009...S & P up 182% but even this is pretty lame compared to the 210% in the 8 Clinton years.  Of course it does beat Ronald Reagan's 117%.

If the markets under Biden follow the typical pattern since 1929 you will do fine MM...on average Wall Street has done better under Democrats than Republicans.

Regarding your last statement, after recently having met with my very qualified financial advisory team, I will pay attention to their very sophisticated models and note that no such correlation exists.

but I know how to look up the performance of the markets at 4 year intervals and am surprised you financial advisors are apparently unable to do the same.  Have the check it out and while they are at it have them compare the results for employment growth and GDP numbers to. 

Now tell me CRD...how many kids do you think died at Shady Hook and M S Douglas?
