Great news for my 409K!
2 trillion dollars printed out of thin air in 12 months to replace revenue corporations used to buy back stocks. That's why. It's called the Federal Reserve and it has sh*t to do with any promise of real economic growth at all. That's also why it will pop like the bubble it is.
Y'all don't see a major conflict of interest with military contractors being traded on a stock market? Seems counter productive to humanity making profit over peace.
WINNING. NON STOP WINNING. TRUMP YOUR PRESIDENT. THATS WHY.
