Is There a Market Where I Can Short Liberals?
Ann Coulter is right! Trumps speech was great and it’s time to gloat! It’s time to put them in their place and point out the errors of their ways. Way to go Nancy Pelosi.

It's been a great week!
In Iowa, the party that claims to be devoted to "science" and "technology" demonstrated that it couldn't count to 10.
Trump delivered a triumphant State of the Union address, highlighting all he's done to make America great again -- and attacking previous administrations for failing to do so. It was such a bravura performance that when he was finished, Speaker Nancy Pelosi childishly tore up his speech from the podium in a shocking breach of decorum.
Hours after the president's address, he was scheduled to be "acquitted" in the Senate impeachment trial -- if that's the right word for a dismissal of the most absurd charges ever brought against a chief executive.
After weeks of scurrilous accusations against him being made on the Senate floor, Trump's job approval rating in Gallup polling has soared to 49 percent, the highest it's been since he took office. He should ask Pelosi to impeach him again.
And the week is young! We should cap it off with something fun. For your gloating pleasure, let's take a stroll down memory lane.
Liberals know nothing, but always express themselves with great bravado and certainty. These are people who claim to know exactly what the temperature will be a decade from now, but have trouble with what will happen next week. Their confident predictions are as useless as bill of impeachment or an Iowa vote count.
THE ECONOMY: As you've probably heard, the economy is booming under President Trump. Unemployment has fallen to historic lows, more than 7 million jobs have been created, and the stock market keeps setting new records. ...
"In preparation for a completely unpredictable Trump presidency, I sold all stocks in my kids' education accounts today. I urge u to do same." -- Kurt Eichenwald on Twitter, Sept. 26, 2016
"[Trump's] statements reveal a deep ignorance of economics ... He promotes magical thinking and conspiracy theories over sober assessments of feasible economic policy options. ... If elected, he poses a unique danger ... to the prosperity of the country. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that you do not vote for Donald Trump." -- 790 economists, the week before the 2016 election. The esteemed signatories included a dozen Harvard professors and a slew of Nobel Prize winners, such as Angus Deaton of Princeton, Oliver Hart and Eric Maskin of Harvard, and Kenneth J. Arrow of Stanford, as well as four others evidently not interesting enough to be mentioned in articles about the letter.
"It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover? ... [A] first-pass answer is never. ... So we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight." -- The New York Times' Paul Krugman, Election Night 2016
THE MUSLIM BAN: On June 26, 2018, the United States Supreme Court upheld Trump's "Muslim ban," in an opinion that simply cited the law:
"By its plain language, Section 1182(f) [of the Immigration and Nationality Act] grants the President broad discretion to suspend the entry of aliens into the United States. ... It entrusts to the President the decisions whether and when to suspend entry ... whose entry to suspend ... for how long ... and on what conditions.
"The Proclamation falls well within this comprehensive delegation. The sole prerequisite set forth in S1182(f) is that the President 'find[]' that the entry of the covered aliens 'would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.'" ...
"[Y]our Muslim ban is unconstitutional." -- The New York Times' Paul Krugman, Feb. 13, 2017
"The President of The United States' unconstitutional Muslim ban has been rightly thwarted by the courts." -- Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., Ranking Member on the House Judiciary Committee, Feb. 14, 2017
"[Sally Yates] warned the White House that their Muslim ban was illegal, it was unconstitutional. She told them she would not direct the Justice Department to defend it in court. The new president fired Sally Yates for that. But, you know what, she's been proven right." -- MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Feb. 21, 2017
"And no wonder courts are striking it down. It's unconstitutional. You know four words, Lawrence. Sally Yates was right." -- Ron Klain, MSNBC contributor, March 15, 2017
"[Trump has] leveled personal attacks against federal judges and career prosecutors who dare to see his promised Muslim ban for what it is, unconstitutional." -- Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Senate Judiciary Committee, March 20, 2017
BRETT KAVANAUGH: On Oct. 6, 2018, Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in as the 114th Justice of the Supreme Court. ...
"I believe Kavanaugh is dead at this point. I would be shocked if he's ever a Supreme Court justice." -- MSNBC's Donny Deutsch, Sept. 17, 2018
"The Kavanaugh Supreme Court Nomination Is Dead." -- Shaun Mullen, The Moderate Voice, Sept. 17, 2018
"Stick a fork in him, he's done." -- CNN guest Wendy Murphy, Sept. 29, 2018
I guess the lesson is, self-appointed experts operating within a media that rewards liberal fantasy and invective over reality are not the best touchstones of truth.

The Dow has gone up over 10,000 points since Trump was elected. The Dow was already 14,000 before the election. Obama only increased it 4,000 more during his 8 years in office and it was floundering around his last year in office, until Trump was elected.
Sure, Obama increased it from 7,000 to 18,000, but 7,000 was the low during the recession. Getting back to where it was before the recession or somewhere near that wasn't nearly as difficult and taking it from 18,000 or 19,000 to 29,000.
The good news is stories such as the one below were meant to make the news not report the news. That's how the MSM works these days. They try to make the news, manipulate you, sell you, lie to you and convince you to think what they want you to think instead of being honest and admitting they don't have any idea of what they are talking about, but only if they can fool you, propagandize you will they accomplish their mission.
There was one fellow I remember reading about who told everyone to cash in their stocks and go cash. I would be willing to bet you he didn't do that for long.
Economists: A Trump win would tank the markets
10/21/2016
NEW YORK — Wall Street is set up for a major crash if Donald Trump shocks the world on Election Day and wins the White House.
New research out on Friday suggests that financial markets strongly prefer a Hillary Clinton presidency and could react with panicked selling should Trump defy the polls and deliver a shocking upset on Nov. 8.
The only thing is the market started going up drastically right after the election and it wasn't because Hillary won. It was because she lost and Obama was going to leaving the White House the following January,
Where you see it jump up is right after the election. I know it can't be read, at least by me, but rest assured, it has been going up ever since, which means anyone who has a retirement plan with their company should have been reaping some really good increases. Maybe that is the reason the Democrats at the SOTU were so solemn. They took the advice of the MSM.
I have a brokerage account and it has followed the overall market fairly closely. The Trump years have been very good ones for it. The democrats get no credit for the last 11k on the Dow.
The progressive Dems and their lemming followers bleat about not benefiting from the stock market rise because they never got into the market in the first place or got out in 2008-9 and never got back in.
You do know that the DJI is not the economy don't you? I've never understood why people were so enamored of the DJI. It isn't even that many stocks that make it up. The stock market is just that, the market of stocks (kind of like the market of vegetables) of which, some 80% are owned by, what? Do you know the answer?
Come on, show me that you know something.
You do realize that the S&P 500, NASDAQ, Russell 2000, and the 5000 total stock markets are all way up as well and that unemployment is at 50 year lows and that wages are rising again? The best way to short liberals is to invest in the stock market.
Over the long term, yes. But I'm talking over a 30 to 40 year period. Most people think of the market as traders do, and if you want to day trade, that's fine, but always remember if you do, if you can't afford to lose it, don't do it.
The only way most people are able invest is through their 401K, presuming they have one. Other than that, most people can't afford to invest, they don't have the extra dollars.
So, you still haven't answered my question.
