Have been saying for years - the economy is great. Regardless of the spin - it was already great thanks to Obama.

It's not so great now. The journalists can blame it on Biden all they want - they were going to blame it on any Democratic Candidate.

I'm not falling for it - don't fall for it. This article is a GOP plant.

motivations. Which it doesn't.

The article is just the speculation of some boob of a writer who, without any facts to back it up, cooked up some bizarre theory. Then his editors allowed him to sell it as news. Then people posted it as if it meant something.

If the market falls, it will be because Covid is devastating the economy and no one is buying shit any more. When that happens, all the derivatives and all the other schemes fail. And the market crashes.

Yes. That IS coming. But it won't be because of Biden.

I assume the rag that published this is a Murdoch joint.

The author admits he has zero evidence:

"Investors aren't yet making buying and selling decisions based on the eventuality of a Biden administration, so the market's dips and rallies don't fully reflect their worries. "

that most Wall Street investment and fund managers support a Biden presidency even though they expect corporate tax increases and wealth taxes. I think personally that Wall Street and financial industry managers knows another 4 years would spell long-term economic disaster. But that doesn’t mean that many individual investors are swayed by anything other than their belief that tRump is good for the Wall Street economy and therefore good for them.

the market is up because of..... insert latest talking point. If you take a homeless person living under a bridge and give him 2 million dollars and then ask him how he is doing financially, I'm guessing he will say he is doing quite well. Same story with this market, trillions of dollars were pumped into it even when it didn't need it. Maybe the market should start operating on real economic reasons, you know like supply and demand, and the invisible hand of the market?

Maybe with Biden some of that "stimulus" money will go to the demand side of the economy, to the consumers, to the workers?

And won't for several months, if it happens at all?

Maybe the worry is due to the DEATHGRIP the Trump economy has placed upon it, the first signs of fissure, the end of the Obama economy and the worrying long-term impact of the devastation wrought by Russian Agent Orange.

There. Fixed it.

like so much of what is published these days. There are too many of these pieces that are simply conjecture with headline variations on a theme such as "X" see the possibility of "Y" happening which may lead to "Z".

It's all BS filler that has zero information.

I can do one right here. "If we get too much rain, we may have flooding which could lead to injuries or deaths".
