When the Dow is up, the President takes credit. When the Dow is down, well.........crickets.
Dow drops more than 400 points after being down 700 as trade-war fears intensify
Los Angeles Times, Apr 02 2018 1:10 PM
Stock prices opened the second quarter with another sharp decline today as investors grew increasingly worried about the rising US trade dispute with China and a flurry of problems hammering the nation's marquee technology firms. The market's major indexes finished above their lows of the day but the broad-based selloff still sent the Dow Jones industrial average and the benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 index into what Wall Street dubs a correction, that is, a decline of 10% or more from their most recent highs.
The damage is even worse for some popular tech stocks. Shares of Facebook, Twitter and Snap all are down 20% or more from their 52-week highs. The Dow plummeted 458.92 points, or 1.9%, after plunging more than 700 points earlier in the day. That's a decline of 11% from January 26 when the blue-chip average hit a record high 26,616.71. The S&P 500 tumbled 2.2%, giving the index a 10% drop since it too reached a record high on January 26 of 2,872.87.

Sirius has another great quarter! SP should react accordingly and fall off a cliff.

By the way the Dow is WAY up since he took office. If you dont respect Donald Trump fine ... but respect the county and therefore the President and the presidency by keeping your trap shut. Specifically in forums that have nothing to do with him.
<disclosure/>I am not a "Trump fan" but I am tired of the petty arguments everywhere I go.</disclosure
To expound on your comment, I would like to remind everyone that the stock market defines our nation and economy about as much as Vegas and we should always remind ourselves that it is no more than an enormous online casino that mostly defies reason. What Lord Trump is doing is what I have hoped a president would do for the past 30 years. Although appalling at times, we must keep in mind he is a showman who commands attention and knows how to get it. Rip him to shreds as much as you like but he knows exactly what he is doing and I can only commend him for it. If anything, he is quite the opposite from the embarrassment and weakling that preceded him which is only a good thing. China has to be put in their place... check! North Korea must be quelled...check! Etc. etc...Quote:

It is about context and your quote of mine did not capture my full context.
Again my point is this is a forum about SIRI and stocks ...I am tired of seeing politics invade every part of life.
So I can certainly say keep your trap shut otherwise without being unAmerican
.... next time I will just keep my trap shut and stop frequenting the site that no longer focuses on the topic ... is that better for you?
Please explain what I missed.Quote:

No it isnt ...it is telling him I dont want to hear it(read it in this case). People tell people all the time they dont want to hear something. It is when you want to use power to remove that speech that it gets unAmerican as you say.Quote:

Anyone have any comment about this? What keeps coming to me is that, 'It's difficult for me to imagine retail investors managing to "bid up" the price by a significant percentage on their own." So, is this "bidding up" a function of institutional investors buying SIRI?? Any thoughts are appreciated.
... Maybe it is simply because, now that SIRI is $6+, an eight or ten cent move is then same (percentage wise) as when the stock was trading in the 3's and 4's
I've seen the same thing. I call it "the sag". If the morning starts with the sag, a large buy will come in at mid-day. We are in a new world, with Liberty at over 70% and institutions over 20%. As the float held by retailers diminishes, it'll be interesting to see what happens to the sp as institutions compete for shares.
No I didn't. It was in context. That's why I asked you to explain.Quote:

I must not be crazy because, I immediately got a +1.
No I'm not. You can say whatever you want. I have never stifled you or anyone else on this forum.Quote:

I often hear people say things like you did and also things like "If you don't like it, go live somewhere else." both of which I think are unAmerican and should be pointed out as such. I have heard really intelligent and articulate people use this type of response/argument and I find it particularly puzzling -- which is why I pointed it out.
I will not.Quote:
