Massive 312,000 Job Gain Casts Doubt On Gloom; Dow Jones Rallies



well while the morons in charge at firms like Apple (who are 100% compromised by China’s central government) and the now lefty/(D) controlled House keep trying to crash economies and the stock market with their foolish actions and rhetoric, the US labor market keeps up its tremendous performance under President Trump

inb4 the usual financially and economically illiterate lefty suspects chime in

DJJ closed down -660 last night, im sure a +320 mid day rally isn't all that significant. and if you subtract the 150-180k jobs we need to just replace cyclical loss that 312k job gain isn't that impressive either.

left, right, w/e has little to do with the crash tbh. we're half way though the loaf, the butter's gone, and we need more toast. we stretched the economy out too far to pay off investors with our production and we're fluxing big time into an equilibrium. if we're lucky we'll get a temp rally, really lucky and we'll stagnate in the 22-23k range.

that wont happen tho, trump will blame the dems, dems will blame the trump, and investors will get increasingly more warry until we tumble off all the gains. likely in 200+/- daily jumps to get people even more antsy.

certain stocks sectors still look strong to me in the longrun tho. im sure some people who wen't hard on Fang+apple strategies are really fucking sad. facebook tanked and looks to tank more, possibly fall out of relevancy in terms of investment. apple's a big ass question mark. netflix looking strong still and amazon frankly can not be stopped but might not yield all that strong due to internal investment. and still u see people posting shit like "im gonna invest in amazon, look they're making new headquarters, so they must be doing good."

the economy already started showing signs of a downswing before Dems took the House; and it is well known that the labor market lags behind the economy by about ~9 months.
if the labor market is still strong at the end of 2019, then it really was just a correction of inflated, overhyped stocks. but I'm afraid this is not how it's gonna turn out.

I'm with snipa on this issue: politics only has limited influence on the large, macro-scale economic cycles. After almost a decade of expansion, the economy was simply ripe for a downturn. Neither Trump nor the Dems are to blame for it. Perhaps Trump's erratic behavior made it worse, but perhaps his tax cuts pushed back the inevitable downturn by another year instead. We dont know, and imho its wasted time to speculate too much about it.

for the second time in as many years, a dead black male prostitute has been found in Ed Buck's residence in LA:
https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-ed-buck-west-hollywood-death-20190107-story.html

the DA had just gotten done giving him a pass on the last dead black escort a few months ago because he was paid up with the right people, major democratic donor in LA after all. The dead guy even had a journal in which he explicitly stated that it was Ed Buck who was giving him drugs and responsible for his downward spiral and that he hoped it didn't end with him dead. And so inconveniently for the DA's office, Ed Buck struck again

Yeah, I've always thought it funny how some people think Amazon is a good place for high-yield, considering their methodology for years and years has been to sacrifice margin to gain market share. Perhaps it will become a good high-yield investment down the road, but with the areas they're expanding into, they're spending a shit ton of cash (Whole Foods and Prime Air are just small examples).
