Trumpenomics

Thought I would start this to have something to refer to. Trying to have some "quantitative" data rather than "qualitative" data.

                                      05Nov24                  20Jan25

SP500 5929 6049
Dow Jones 43729 44026
NASDAQ 18983 19757
Inflation 2,6 TBD
GDP growth 3,1 2,3 (estimated end 2024)
Unemployment 4,1 TBD
Price of Eggs 3.37 4.15 (end 2024)
Gal of gas 3.26 3.20
Trade balance -73.6 TBD
?????

What else should be added?

I will check these numbers at various periods and update as needed.

Hmmm, not sure how to format to make it look nicer. Any thoughts? Maybe I will just put into an MS table and screen shot it.

CPI and other indexes of the like

January inflation up to 3% from 2.6% in Nov.

Welcome to 2/3rds of Joe Bidens America.

Kidding aside, it'll be interesting to watch some of these stats over the next couple years. The little zig-zags over a course of a few weeks doesn't mean much.

How’s business?

I've been so overwhelmed with work for so long, that personally, I'm fine. (my problem is getting the right help, but that's another thread) My business is quite small---just myself, a road tech, a couple moving assistants, and some occasional shop help.

Some of those that that are set up with multiple full-time people in restoration shops, have been noticing a long-term downward in major restoration work. Not a collapse---just a noticeable change .

“Inflation is back. No, think of it: Inflation’s back,” the president told Fox News’s Sean Hannity during an interview alongside tech billionaire Elon Musk that aired Tuesday night. “And they said, ‘Oh, Trump,’ and I had nothing to do with that.”

But, being the kind man that he is, he will fix it.

Finally got off being lazy and did put some data in a table.

Maybe every quarter would be good to update. (end March/June/Sept/Dec)

“A difficult time to invest.”

• Citadel CEO Ken Griffin

“Everybody’s paralyzed.”

• ON Semiconductor CEO

“I’m sorry I can’t be particularly positive.”

• Franklin Templeton CEO

“The chaos that is reigning right now is causing everyone to sit on their hands.”

• Nasdaq private market CEO Tom Callahan

[Horace]

Yeah that checks out.

[Mik]

To be expected. The market likes certainty and stability. We have neither. Way too early to tell how all this shakes out.

[xenon]

I think there’s a conservative axiom that it’s a lot easier to break things than improve them.

We’ve got the breaking part going now, let’s see if the improve part will happen.

@Mik

Agreed, and Trump will likely change course if the market shows disapproval. But I wonder how long that might take.

Atlanta Fed now forecasting negative growth for the quarter.
