Fed Adds $56.72 Billion to Markets for Calm Start to 2020

After navigating a quiet end to money-market trading in 2019—greased by a massive wave of central bank liquidity—the Federal Reserve Bank of New York injected a modest amount of money into financial markets.

Why is the Trump rally still lower than the Obama rally at the same point in his term? And why are Trump’s GDP numbers so low, when he promised 4, maybe 6 per cent?

If only he could win as much as Obama. 13.4% annualized S&P 500 growth vs 13.8%.

Except Trump undid most of what Obama did and the economy has boomed ever since…

Take a break and come back it helped me, there was a long time I didn’t frequent the boards as every topic was about Russia. Now that this has subsided and we are getting into election season my hope is we start debating ideas, which I find not only more enjoyable but beneficial. There is a good mix on political opinions on this forum, I don’t agree with all of them and I am sure a lot of them don’t agree with me but I find it better than and echo chamber with people only talking the things ipeople agree with.

It is getting harder to find places to post that has a mix of opinions in the age of social media I have noticed many news forums cut their comments sections out and Twitter is the biggest echo chamber of all. Few places left to debate ideas.

Nope, it has continued at a slightly slower pace.

The lowest earners are benefiting the most under Trump… I hope dems run on turning the clock back to the Obama era economy…Please!

No they are not. Wage growth fell to below 3% in December. With inflation wages are almost stagnant.

It’s not “liking bad news” which is small thinking. It’s liking factual information as opposed to disinformation and propaganda. There was once a time I’d have figured you would agree.

I agree.

Lets debate Trump’s replacement for Obamacare.

Hexenbiest · 2020-02-05T18:20:00.399Z

That’s a good place to start healthcare since that is one of the biggest issues of the time. I am in favor of some sort of public option at this point, but would prefer it to be at the state level to try it out.

You are looking at wage growth monthly?

What is “almost stagnant”?

By boomed, you mean lower annualized S&P 500 returns, created millions fewer jobs, real average weekly earnings completely stagnating over the last year, and GDP not breaking 3%? Odd definition of “boomed”.

Year-over-year real average weekly earnings: 0.0% growth [1].

December 2018: $375.82
December 2019: $375.77
