...not good news for GOP Candidates running on the Trump admin's performance...

Add this news to Trump's recent comment that 'Wall Street has been doing great' under his administration...DJT should demand a cut of Dem Election Ad spending.

risk in the stock market, what a wonderful window opportunity for people near retirement like me and retirees of fixed income to reallocate our portfolio.

This is also good for value investors who’re majority anyway and again I am one of them. Because companies of value stocks usually are cash rich. They stand their grounds better during yield spikes.

Sorry Ty, we don’t care about mortgage because we don’t need new debts.

Your primary focus is, of course, on Democrats gaining power, not on national concerns.

I have no idea what your focus is, Ned...but it's certainly not on the welfare of U.S. citizens.

How about owning up to DJT's on-the-job performance, which has one heck of lot to do with this problem.

He has been in revenge mood for many months. Most posts from him have been about poll and midterm.

I will a week before the election. Only the polls near election worth my time.
