Now that you've discounted half the statistics in the Original Post I guess that only part you agree with is GDP which is just as poor a number to gauge the economy after it's been artificially propped up.

None of that means the GDP number is wrong or irrelevent.. it means the measures taken were pretty effective.

The original post didnt even mention the DOW.

That beat the Dow Jones estimates for it. The Dow said 32%. That's the fastest growth ever.
...the claim was that it was doing well because of optimism about trump winning.

Oh for god sakes.. that was a GDP growth estimate, nothing to do with performance of the DOW components...

No one claimed performance of the DOW components by itself was an adequate measure of the overall economy. You just made that made up.

Well, not a strong recovery for you. Your business does t determine the whole economy, just one piece like all the rest of us.

You claimed the original post argued that the performance of the DOW components by itself was an adequate measure of the overall economy. No one did that...

Then what the actual **** are you basing your comments on? You already said the DOW and GDP are not accurate measurements, while agreeing the economy is being propped up, and that is the basis of the Original Post.

Im basing my comments on reality rather than making things up like yourself.

Read it again, it was a direct tie of GDP to the DOW.

Entirely wrong. There is nothing in the original post about the performance of the DOW components.. only an estimate of GDP growth.

Versus the DOW.
Nice try.

Actual GDP growth verse the estimate for GDP growth they put out.. youre making a fool of yourself.
The gain came after a 31.4% plunge in the second quarter and was better than the 32% estimate from economists surveyed by Dow Jones.

And who put it out? The DOW...
