How’s the stock market going? Haven’t had time to check this week...

The top 5 ever. If people get over that Petty Party B.S. they would judge people fairly.

5. Ronald Reagan

• DJIA performance: +147.3 percent
• Served from: Jan. 20, 1981 - Jan. 20, 1989
• Months in office: 96
• Party affiliation: Republican

President Ronald Reagan was voted into the White House due in part to the widespread perception that his predecessor and political opponent, Jimmy Carter, had not done enough for the economy. An advocate for small government, Reagan cut taxes, social spending, and regulations on business, and increased military spending. Under Reagan's economic policies, the United States accumulated deficits and became a debtor nation for the first time since WWI.

Less than half a year into Reagan's presidency, the U.S. economy slipped into a recession. A year later – before the recession officially ended – the Dow surged and, with one glaring exception, barely stopped to slow down for the remainder of Reagan's presidency. Despite the Black Monday crash of 1987, in which the Dow lost nearly 22 percent of its value in a single day, the Dow soared 147.3 percent under Reagan.

4. Barack Obama

• DJIA performance: +148.3 percent
• Served from: Jan. 20, 2009 - Jan. 20, 2017
• Months in office: 96
• Party affiliation: Democrat

When Barack Obama took office in January 2009, the U.S. economy was in freefall. Reeling from the effects of the continuing recession that had begun under his predecessor, President Bush, the Dow fell more than 9 percent in Obama's first month in office. In the years to follow, the Dow climbed steadily as the economy began to slowly recover from the Great Recession.

The most notable dip in the steadily climbing DJIA occured in the summer of 2011, halfway through Obama's first term. That July, the debt ceiling crisis exposed the severity of the political gridlock in Washington and prompted Standard & Poor's to downgrade the U.S. credit rating. Still, the longest economic recovery in U.S. history began during Obama's first term, and over the course of his presidency, the Dow surged by 148.3 percent.

3. Franklin D. Roosevelt

• DJIA performance: +198.6 percent
• Served from: March 4, 1933 - April 12, 1945
• Months in office: 145
• Party affiliation: Democrat

President Franklin Roosevelt served as president longer than anyone in history. Elected to office four times, Roosevelt sat in the Oval Office for 145 months and presided over some of the most tumultuous times in American – and world – history. Taking office during the height of the Great Depression, Roosevelt began implementing his "New Deal" policies to turn the economy around. Unpopular with the business community, Roosevelt tightened finance regulation by creating the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and SEC as well as a pension system with the Social Security Act.

Despite dipping at the outset of America's entrance to WWII, the Dow shot up by nearly 200 percent under Roosevelt.

2. William J. Clinton

• DJIA performance: +228.9 percent
• Served from: Jan. 20, 1993 - Jan. 20, 2001
• Months in office: 96
• Party affiliation: Democrat

The DJIA skyrocketed by nearly 230 percent under President Bill Clinton. Over the course of Clinton's two terms – defined by nearly unprecedented peace and economic prosperity – the unemployment rate fell from about 7 percent to 4 percent, inflation dipped to its lowest level in 30 years, the government achieved a budget surplus, and the administration signed an agreement eliminating trade barriers between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Within two months of Clinton's departure from office, the United States fell into a recession for the first time since George H.W. Bush was in office.

Calvin Coolidge

1. Calvin Coolidge

• DJIA performance: +230.5 percent
• Served from: Aug. 2, 1923 - March 4, 1929
• Months in office: 67
• Party affiliation: Republican

President Calvin Coolidge presided over the largest gains in the Dow of any president since the end of WWI. Vice president to Warren Harding, Coolidge found himself in the Oval Office following Harding's sudden death in 1923. Coolidge cleaned up the widespread corruption of Harding's administration, cut income, gift, and inheritance taxes, reduced government spending, and adopted a pro-business posture.

Coolidge served during a decade of unprecedented growth in wealth, consumerism, and urbanization that came to be known as the Roaring Twenties. Under Coolidge, the Dow shot up 230.5 percent. Just six months after Coolidge left office in March 1929, the United States slipped into an economic depression that wiped out all stock market gains accumulated during his presidency.

Donald Trump

12. Donald J. Trump

• DJIA performance: +19.2 percent
• Served from: Jan. 20, 2017 - Present
• Months in office: 23
• Party affiliation: Republican

Under President Donald Trump, the Dow topped 25,000 points for the first time in history. Investor confidence under Trump has been boosted by strong fundamental conditions and likely the president's pro-business agenda. The U.S. economy has added jobs in the last 98 consecutive months, and the unemployment rate now stands at 3.7 percent, the lowest level since the 1960s.

However, in recent months, the stock market has been been markedly volatile. Following a selloff experts attribute to fears over escalating trade tensions with China and anticipated interest rate hikes, the Dow now stands below 24,000. Since Trump took office, the Dow has climbed by 19.2 percent.

Give Props where they are due.  Regardless of Party.  I'm happy under President Obama after the Bush debacle in 2008 my Stocks soared and under President Trump they have continued.  Thanks to both of them for helping me get closer toward my Goals financial wise.  Yet they are Polar Opposites.  Which tells me people or Full of B.S. due to Some blind ass party allegiance.  No I don't belong to either Party except what's best for me. 

Thanks Dude's from Gunny :  Yet I have big differences with some agenda's from both.  Trumps treatment of Minorities and Obama using the Military for social experiments are my biggest issues with both.  But since they spurred my economic growth.  Damn any brown person that wants to immigrate and so what if two male sailors can now kiss in the B.X. 🤣

The Dow surged in the 2 months after Trump’s election before inauguration.  Also Obama’s performance benefited by the late 2008 dive, which was bound to recover.

The S&P closed at 2139 on Election Day, is now 2873, up around 35%.

I don’t care who’s in office as long as I don’t lose money. 

There’s a YUGE difference In % a president can lift market by where it stands when he takes over. Don’t know where market was when these listed started.

This is old news as Dow is almost 26000 now, not below 24000 as stated  

Also, the time served obviously helps so Trump has 6 more years to reach new heights!!!

Not that he needs it but Mark Cuban has “lost “ shit load of money from this economy as he sold most his stocks because he predicted a collapse with Trump being elected.

That's all I am saying neither Obama or Trump have hurt anyone financial wise.  And anyone claiming that is just a damn failure to begin with.  President Bush devastated the Market and damn near destroyed the Commercial Insurance Industry of which I am all in.  President Obama took over a terrible economy by any metric and he did a helluva job and I am not all over his Nutz either.  President Trump has continued this trajectory.  Hell gas was over $3.00 in Texas Newt Gingrich was declaring to open our national reserves and he would get oil down to $2.50 in 2 years of the Obama Economy I have never payed more than $2.65 for Petro and it even got down to below $2.00.  I just pulled in an the damn Gas is $2.16 under President Trump.  Those 2 polar opposites have set this ECONOMY ON FIRE.  

The people that always look for a reason to not give props are full of this

Exactly I would look like a damn fool  trying to criticize either economically speaking. I know since beginning in 2009 my 401K exploded.   Because of this dude.

I remember all this talk before Trump was elected. 

https://amp.dailycaller.com/2017/12/27/media-predicted-economic-collapse-under-trump-it-didnt-happen

Even our own HSFB mb posting expert who predicted a collapse had to take a hiatus from the board to spend all his money he made from Trumps economy!!! 😂😂😂

 

Because people want to create fear over someone they don't agree with.  If truth be told both Obama and Trump have endured some pretty petty B.S. from both parties.

You know like 875 Benghazi investigations and well let's repeal Obamacare.  Repukes really didn't  want closure or care about fixing

You know like 3 years of Russian investigations and collusion.    Demoncrats didn't  want closure or care about fixing

I actually can say I am happier for not giving a damn about either.  Truth be Told Obama and Trump were both Renegades.  If you really compare the two it will explain why they piss the other side off so much.  Because they didn't give a damn and did what they thought was best. 

Thanks dudes for abusing Presidential Power or at least that's what the other side claim when either of you used executive privilege.  The Repukes talked about impeaching Obama too.  A Pachyderm and an Ass cause so much consternation.

Image result for republicans and democrats suck

That is what I mean by not giving Props.  I call this Fecal matter that trickles down the buttocks of a Bovine.  Or Party derangement Syndrome.  That's like saying just keep fighting in Afghanistan it is bound to end.  No action is what causes a reaction.  If not go sit in the corner and never stand up and see if your knees lock. 

Was it just bound to recover?

Aw BS!  That is why you buy on the lows, people understand it is going to recover.  You may not know the exact low, but people have an idea.

We will agree to disagree.  I got statements to prove where I had the most financial growth.  Care to guess who it was under or was it just bound to happen?

The worst Socialist ever;  There is no such thing as alternative facts.  I am not with the stupid vote 3rd time.  I posted this for the stats not the stupid Democrats stamp.

there is no guarantee nor timeline for a recovery.  After the '29 crash it took 25 years for the market to recover.  A timeframe well into several presidencies.
