Found this bit interesting
“In the summer of 2014, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average hitting all-time highs, a poll showed that nearly three-quarters of the American public thought the economy was still in recession—because for them, it was.”
Isn’t Trump making the exact same mistake, trumpeting the stock market yet the economic situatuon for many is at least as bad as it was in 2014 and 2016.
Most likely because the majority of absentee are military and government officials overseas. People likely to vote Republican
Or maybe bringing up absentee ballots would confuse some of his base and well him as to what they are and how illegal immigrants can defraud the vote using them
That's certainly a case I would make if I were running against Trump. Let's see how effectively they can deliver that message.
That message can also be twisted into "my opponents are rooting for a collapse of the economy just to get into power."
It depends on what you're talking about when you refer to "the economy". That's too nuanced for most political message making though.
And so it goes.

Anyone quoting the Dow as some sort of economic barometer is an idiot.
One example; a modest pharma company had its stock value go up by 4000% (it was useless by the way), cos of rumours it had a vaccine. Needless to say, it didnt.
Kodak is another.
Corporate investors cannot invest in much else at the moment, commodities aside. The movements are illogical.

And just watch when the auto sell positions are hit, which inevitably, they will be. Then, as ever, the small folk get the shoeing.

How about the Nasdaq
Nasdaq, DAX, FTSE, etc, they generally have correlation. Nikkei was always the odd one out.
These days, less so. Merica seems to be the oddity now. Gold prices are climbing though, the last refuge for the dazed and confused generally.
Speaking of which the Trump Fed nominee is a fan
Trump’s pro-gold nominee moves closer to landing Fed seat
Judy Shelton, whose nomination by Trump has faced months of delays, was approved Tuesday by the Senate Banking Committee on a party-line vote.
Before we discuss, there's something I need clarified please:
In an America where the chief sources of one’s ideas about life’s possibilities are TV and the movies, it’s not hard to be convinced that we inhabit a liberal-dominated world: feminist cartoons for ten-year-olds are followed by commercials for nonconformist deodorants; entire families of movies are organized around some transcendent dick joke…
What exactly is nonconformist deodorant?
I don't think he's talking about Right Guard...
Tally ho. That's probably too nonconformist for this century.
Sure, it's red meat for his followers but given the state of matters and his track-record I'm not sure it is persuasive for anyone who is still deciding which way to vote.
And, yes, I hate it. Mostly because it's bullshit jingoism from an unprincipled man.
Tbf it os undoubtedly better spent money that this
