And why is it that all of the protests , name calling , and utter foolish behavior having exactly ZERO impact on the value of America`s corporations as expressed in their rising stock price ?
Why is viewership for the liberal media down and continuing to decline ?
And why is the readership of the major big city papers which are all very liberal continuing to decline to that point that they are forced to layoff reporting staff ?
So in the meantime continue to knock yourself out posting nothings on a site which has extremely limited readership .
Please continue . It is amusing to watch as I continue to see my investments climb to new heights everyday .
You see while you and your ilk were spending your working lives
bitching and moaning and labeling everyone , I concentrated on my career . And the harder and longer I worked the more and more responsibility I achieved which meant more Base Salary . More Bonuses which eventually exceeded my Base Salary and most importantly Stock Option Awards each and every year .
I kept my head down and my political opinions to myself . I worked very long hours seldom leaving my office before 9PM and beginning my day before 8AM .
Just to make it easy for people like Chi-Town and his alter ego Cold No More my name is Buffalo Jim and I am reaping the awards of a life of great sacrifice and I am loving every single day
and making wads in the market while you certain " Hate Mongers " get your jolly`s trashing people on here day after day .
Carry on girls !! Crap all over me ----- I don`t care and I find it all very amusing .

Dude, are you really this dumb?
Come back when the DJIA has increased the same percentage from when Obama took over...until he left.
Do you even know what that % increase was?
I'll give you a hint genius...
Where was the Dow Jones when Obama took office? | Investopedia
Quote:
When President Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped to 7,949.09, the lowest inaugural performance for the Dow since its creation. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq took similar hits, dropping 5.3 and 5.8 percent, respectively, and fourth quarter earnings reports were on track to drop more than 20 percent over the previous year's figures. Bank stocks in particular were hit quite hard, with the sector in general declining by 30 percent. Bank of America Corp. dropped 29 percent, and Citigroup Inc. sank a comparatively gentle 20 percent.
While the economic backslide may have seemed to indicate that the America public was less than confident in their newly elected leader, the dip was instead widely credited to continued lack of confidence in the failing economy left behind by the previous administration. Under former President Bush, the stock market took a 2.3 percent fall on an annualized basis, reflecting the 1 percent increase achieved during his first four years and the 5.5 percent decline suffered during his second term.
If nothing else, the historic lows of the Bush administration and the shaky beginnings of the Obama years definitely indicate an economy in flux.
Good news, however, was not too long in coming. Despite its inauspicious economic beginnings, the Obama administration has overseen an impressive upswing in the stock market. As of Sept. 12, 2014 the Dow Jones has more than recovered from its January 2009 slump, resting nicely at 16,987.51 for the day, more than double what it was on inauguration day. More importantly, it has maintained a healthy average between 14,719 and 17,162 for the past 52 weeks. Though there have been intermittent downturns, the Dow's general upward trend speaks well for the Obama administration's efforts at economic recovery.

C'mon, show us how smart you are and tell us what percentage increase that is.
And yes, I know it really pi$$es you off that it happened, but I don't know anyone (until you)...who is upset with that return.
I know I'm
extremely happy with it.
So get your calculator out, tell us what that % increase was
between 1/20/09 and 1/20/2017...and then get back to us when Trump equals it.
Don't forget to include lots of fluids...with that crow you'll be eating.
Deepest Sincere Wishes:
