In reply to the discussion: I'll go contrarian here: Quit rooting for the market to fail [View all]EdmondDantes_
(1,699 posts)13. Have you not seen all the posts complaining that the market hasn't been in open freefall?
Or ranting that if there's even an hour of stocks going up it's some obvious conspiracy to falsely hold up the market to support Trump?
There's a lot of posts that come across as if the market falls it will prove that Trump's policies are bad and so want the market to fall to prove that. Maybe they don't mean to come across that way, and/or maybe some of us are reading them that way for some reason that wasn't the author's intent.

More will suffer if it's not turned around quickly, so let's get this band-aid off already.

The only good thing about the market failing is that it causes distress to the rich.
