Quote for the Day:

Men like my friend aren’t uncommon in the major donor community. Some are so wealthy that Trump’s actual net worth was a rounding error to them, but they weren’t as a rule bold enough to put their money on the line to defeat him. A few still comfort themselves with the knowledge that the tax bill will pad their bottom lines nicely. Some hope that someday, somehow he’ll stop tweeting and won’t get us into a nuclear war.

Every day that the market drops 350 points we have a follow on day where it recovers all that and then some. This is most like 1999-2001. Expectations drive earnings estimates. But recall 2001 was the era of Worldcom, Lucent, Enron, and many dozens of others with smaller market cap.
