So you are speculating on a market that is based on future speculation.. then you can make up any narrative you want to justify your position! I’ll give you a hint less taxes=larger growth.

The stock market isn’t PEOPLE!!

stock market is not representative of the people. it's corporate management bonuses and mostly the riches. when people making less than $15/hr, you think they really care about the stock market?

This is bullshit.
