The market is driven by emotion. It can be fact or fiction or based on a single event or prospects for long growth.

Right now the market is surging because of Trump. He isn't causing it per se as he hasn't really done anything but the belief is that he will be business friendly (certainly more than Obama) and it will cause long term growth. 

The market always edges up over time. I don't think there is ever a way to stop the US economy but it can slow significantly. It will eventually rebound no matter who is in charge. The Great Depression was from 1929 to roughly 1939. The Dow Jones fall from 1929 to early 1932 tell from almost 5,000 to just under 800. Even so, the DJ in the next 5 years rose more than 400% to around 3,200. How is that possible that in the middle of this huge economic collapse, it rose 400+%? Again, the economy will always recover. People might put off large purchases and might cut back on luxuries but they will eventually need a new car, refrigerator, a vacation, etc. 

The only problem with the Trump bounce will come when it comes back down. The profit takers will either want to make money now and grab some capital before it comes back down or people will slow on the upward climb fearing a bubble burst. 

But it should be obvious that Trump has swayed the opinion of a lot of people on future relaxation of regulations, spurring growth over time. We will have to see if that comes true or it will just be a bounce. 

In my opinion.

They can't agree.  Upchuck Shoemer said he'd believe it when we had new jobs.  The pipeline & use American steel when possible, and nixing the Pacific agreement, don't mean anything to Upchuck.  And if Upchuck says it's bad, all on the new left are lockstep with the party.

Schumer sitting there with his head down peering over the top of his glasses. What a douche bag. Was he hiding?

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
