POTUS stock market comparison chart.

[The Dunedein]

found this interesting website. It shows how well the Dow Jones Industrial Average did under various presidents. You can compare how various POTUS did with stocks at any particular stage of their term in office. For instance, after 11 months in office, the DJIA was up 30.3% for Obama, up 24.6% for Trump, up 13.4% for Clinton, down 7.6% for Reagan, and down 8.0% for GW Bush. Those figures will change month-to-month, of course. Who is on top this month could be down the list next month, and vice-a-versa. Would like to see this chart for the NASDAQ.

It is interactive, so you can click on the names of other Presidents at the bottom of the chart and either add them to the chart or remove them.

Op2 has been using this as a means to downplay Trump’s performance this year. As explained before, it’s not apples to apples. Trump has had to almost double the growth to keep a relative percentage increase.

I think it was something like a 2400 point increase for Barry to a 5000 point increase for Trump.

You do know that the Dow increased almost 14000 point under Obama. Correct?

And the goalposts move.

 

[RichardPeterJohnson]

And the goalposts move.

Haven’t moved anything. Stating a fact. Up 14k points =150%. I know you guys have a hard time accepting that. Speaking of moving the goal posts, you people contemporaneously discounted the markets performance under Obama. Now it seems you rely on itbas your metric for presidential success. You discounted job growth and unemployment numbers under Obama with the drop out rate. Now, suddenly, you people seem to think that the numbers are somehow more meaningful. Goal posts indeed. Just more hypocrisy from the usual suspects

Now you are just ranting like a lunatic. You moved the goalposts.

If a real american had started at the point Obama did, he would have quadruped it.

Barry was also coming into office as we were coming out of the downturn. And Bush 2 was coming into office as we were just leaving a recession that was caused by the dot com burst and then 9/11.

Trying to equate dow growth under the Presidents is folly.

That is the point I was making in the other thread. I was not as blunt.

So if the stock market goes up huge during Trump’s time in office (which i hope it does), you are of the opinion that it would be folly for Trump to say the market did better under him than previous presidents? That’s a bold strategy, Cotton.

The stock market isnt tied to a president. The market went way up under Bush 43 and then dropped significantly. All largely to policies not related to his presidency. His financial policies were pretty consistant until the bailouts to the banks. I think it is not a strong correlation.

Some people are just so stupid that you just have to accept that there's nothing more you can do for them.

Very true comments.

Very false. The point you were trying to make was the same as the other idiot plainly saying Trump's first year of presidency was a greater achievement in terms of the dow jones versus Obama's and you were basing your "logic" on incorrect analysis. But if you were trying to make this point, you should have just STFU and said "doc and bru, thanks for being correct" but of course that will never happen when you have an agenda.

If the market goes up bigly during Trump's term, you can baleeb that he'll take credit for it and point it out.

The president can and should take credit for a strong economy and performance of the market if it is attributed to government policies. But fact is, the economy and market (they are distinctly different) was on very solid footing leading into 2017. In terms of the market, it has increased in a large part directly related to Trumps actions being which the reduction ot regulations and the tax cut. But those both could and probably will be short term gains just like the Bush first term. Long term (over 3 years for the market) they will be damaging, again just like the Bush years.

Why do you lie Bru? I never said that at all. I said that dow made larger gains. Not a larger percentage gain. I was correct.

Dave why do you argue with liars? First they lie, then lie about what they lied about, then lie to you lying they didn't just lie about they lied to you about, then lie that they lied to you about what you said they lied on in the first place.

the difference here is that you don't have to try to look like an idiot...it comes naturally to you....and EVERY time you post that fact is just reinforced....each day Devil Dog, atlkvb WV2007, Tar Heel and yes....me....we trash your locker, take your lunch money, and kick your sheep but still you come back for more.....at least you are consistent

are you looking in the mirror as you post this?........me thinks that you are

 

[Airport]

That wasn't racist, that was stating a fact about Americans wanting to make money. If bernie Sanders was the President instead of obama, we would have been worse off.Obama wanted to make money for his friends who would then give him money. Bernie only wants to make money for himself and his felony driven wife.

 

[Airport]

Damn you can be a real racist at times

I would have gladly voted for Herman Cain over BO because Cain's views and my views are more closely aligned on the economy.
