Watch out Gents, it`s going to take a tumble in 2018.

You're batting a thousand with failed predictions so far, starting with Trump never getting elected.

In the late 60s a mustang cost $2500
Todsy it is more like $20000. So congrats on your inflated record. A little more than keeping up

Rents have more than doubled in the last 20 yrs. Ditto house prices. Gas?

The stock prices do not TELL ALL.

Oh, come on, it's going to tumble, and it isn't doing so well because of Trump, either.

What goes up must go down, but when tax reform gets signed, the DOW will keep on rising until it peaks. We don't know what that peak is yet. Then it will fluctuate up and down around that peak, which will be the new norm.

They probably averaged out several years. Why don't you write the reporter and ask?

I have never felt less interested in a holiday, than I do now. I have zero Christmas spirit - more on the minus side of things, actually. We can barely afford a Christmas tree. Nothing is booming here. Stores are closing down all over the country.

all of these white supremacists running around, like its Christmas for them. This entire year. All of the republicans excited about how many people they can take health care away from. So much more.

Randall when you claim something is normal or compare it to normal, it means nothing unless you know what normal is. No, actually it usually means you are just parroting someone else's clsim. So basically, a statement without meaning

Listen up Scrooge, the bottom line is that hiring is way up.
