[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do NOT want this to be political.  
At the moment we have economic uncertainty, inflation and there's talk of forcing the fed chair out so interest rates can be lowered, whether that's good for the economy or not.
I thought in times of economic uncertainty, investors were fearful and that fear caused markets to go down.
This looks like irrational exuberance.
I'm not very smart, can you explain to me why stocks are still doing well and why I should keep my investments in them?

Thanks.[/quote]

There was economic uncertainty under Biden with rampant inflation over 9% at one point because of his poor fiscal policies. The stock market still did ok. Trump working on bringing back manufacturing to the US and leveling the play filed unlike Biden who was fine with offshoring and lopsided trade policies that did not benefit the US.[/quote]

So sorry MAGA Margie. That's categorically false. Trump has bled factory jobs since his inauguration.

[b]Factory employment dropped to lowest level in 5 years, after 5 straight months of contraction. [/b]
"The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said on Friday that its manufacturing PMI dropped to 48.0 last month from 49.0 in June. A PMI reading below 50 indicates contraction in manufacturing, which accounts for 10.2% of the economy. "
