In the "old days"...w.t.f???

Link to tweet

In the “old days,” when good news was reported, the Stock Market would go up. Today, when good news is reported, the Stock Market goes down. Big mistake, and we have so much good (great) news about the economy!

It's not a coincidence that the crash happened the day people got their first paychecks with that big fat $1.50 loan from the IRS.

market reacts to news.

Or, at least, with him viewing TV all day, cannot even watch CNBC or Bloomberg to understand that the good news mean inflation and increase interest rate. Also, that, at least the global market is leery about the political uncertainly in this country.
