5. The Big Lie about the markets

Reply to LuckyCharms (Original post)

Friday

Since Trump took office, the DOW is up 9.7%, that's solid for these last 13 months, just below average/

Yeah that's right, the last 30 years, the average return is 10.4% a year. So this "greatest market ever" is below average.

This just doesn't get questioned in the media. They let them make ridiculous claims about the markets that are clearly untrue. And it even filters to here where posters will say things like, "All he has is that great stock market..."
