Trump the Stock Market and Mueller

[DVRacer]

When the Brian Ross story hit the airwaves it triggered a reaction on Wall Street. In all a slight burp of 350 points or so out of 24,000. My question is because of that reaction will that factor into the investigation? Are the people in the investigation far enough removed from the stock market that they do what is right? People have a funny way of deciding what is right if there is a chance it costs them money.

A broader question is does the market tank when all is known and the Dolt is removed or does the bubble pop?

1. I think Mueller already demonstrated that he's no letting outside forces deter him.

2. I hope so

It just gave me pause trying to think ahead of how he try’s to get out of it. I see dark clouds on the horizon we the people will suffer as he lashes out. The tax bill is but one example unless the GOP is overcome 2018 has to be a strong year for us.

3. I think the way Ross' story was written, it made people think Mueller had found proof,

and Flynn would testify to the fact, that Trump had taken direct action leading up to November 2016 to get Flynn to "collude" with the Ruskies.

I can see how that misleading story might have caused the market to drop, there was also some stuff regarding the tax plan that might have had an impact as well. I can also see how any liklihood that Trump might be removed would cause tens of millions of us to cheer and maybe even the market to jump.

I don't think Mueller cares, but "journalists" need to be more careful what they say in this and other matters.

4. Since the election there has been a "Trump bump"

which is substantial based on a tax give away to the rich who will have money they will have to invest. If the tax legislation fails we should expect a 15% decline, but that is all, there is no "bubble ", corporate profits are at an all time high.

5. The market is bullshit anyway...there is no rhyme or reason for their highs and lows.
