Stock markets up only means that those wealthy enough to own millions of shares benefit...not the majority.
No matter how the market or economy are doing those in the bottom 30% always suffer...always have always will. The billionaires club now completely controls our financial and media systems. Everything that is done and all the information put out from here on will benefit them only.
This is what was meant by THE NEW WORLD ORDER...we are finally here...dystopia not utopia.
Wall Street is not Main Street. The euphoria is similar to the Roaring 20's and we know how that ended. There is a lot of manipulation to drive up stock values. Tesla PE ratio as of February 25, 2026 is 379.49. Does that make any sense? No it does not. The invisible hands driving the market decide and pull out all the stops to drive it up. Making money all the way up hoping enough fools buy into it before it collapses.
My mutual funds have been declining for the last two months. When the stock funds are up, it means the rich are getting richer and the rest of us are not. When the stock funds are down, it means the rich are getting richer and the rest of us are not.
The US stock market is just manipulation and speculation. Tesla shares are not worth more than every major car manufacturer combined. China doesnt allow speculation or manipulation.
Great essay. I did not appreciate the nuances of the stock market gains, so I really appreciate you putting it into broader perspective. Thanks for enlightening me
This is one of the distractions techniques being used by Trump and his inner circle. Starting with Bondi during an attempt to gain her acknowledgement of the ongoing Epstein issues. While in some small way US has some stock gains. The rest of the Dictatorship Drama has not diminished and it is really significant 😐. The stock market has had up ' and downs for my entire life. It is not the "go to" gauge of how well a nation is being managed, or how abysmal Trump behaves with long term allies, or shouts down reporters, or rambles and deceives in his "speeches". Ballroom and masked "agents", hate and racist memes and slurs, threats to Iran ? 😑. No stock market increase can change the stain on American history. This is the worst President and group of inner circle devotees to be in the white house. So many serious issues! So the blip of stock market distraction is not enough to cover criminal activity and ongoing egocentric desire to disarm democracy and create a Dictatorship 🙄
David you have to look up this guy Denver Riggle-something. His Substack is “Denver After Dark.” He knows some deep state for real! A very cool guy and I think he’s legit.
"A recent chart making the rounds shows U.S. stock returns under Trump ranking 21st out of 23 developed markets."
Does anybody have the same statistic but under the Biden administration? I believe that the US stock market grew more than the International market under Biden but not 100% sure

He still confuses the stock market with GDP. Another example of Nepo Baby syndrome.

No matter who is in the White House, historically Republicans ruin economies.
