Yea, so what ? First there is way too much emphasis given to the DOW, it being only 30 stocks out of 1000s. Second, [it] has companies weighted according to certain criteria.

For example: 28 stocks in the DOW can remain unchanged or even go down while McDonalds and Walmart only, do go up, often moves the whole DOW up.

Furthermore 90% of stocks are owned by about 10-15% of the people. So the benefit to society at large is very little.

DOW 25,850.63

Great. Trump gives the "stockmen" a BIG bundle of cash to go out and buy back their own stock, making their own stock more valuable, and the country LOOKS GREAT!

In our "great country", children are living with their parents into their 30's, groceries cost $100 a bag … if you fill it, few have over $400 in savings, can't afford health insurance, credit cards are maxed out all over this "great country", many of the filled jobs are filled with people who already HAVE another job and still can't afford their car payments … or dentist … or kids college! FEW can put away for a "rainy day" because it's already RAINING! But the DOW is over 25K … wonderful...……! So the rich are getting richer …. wonderful …….!

Back in the 50's when I was making less than $2hr. it was a better economy.
