Here’s an actual fact for you. What you see here is called a CHART. This shows the Dow Jones (Google it) trending for the last 5 years. It shows that year over year that it’s going UP. Not down, genius. UP.

The markets ALWAYS go up. They stumble a bit from time to time, but they have never not gone up over the decades.

The ISM is looked at as an economic indicator, but it’s not hard data. It’s a survey.

This survey result isn’t strong, but …
The PMI remained below the 50 threshold for the fifth straight month, but was above the 42.5 level that the ISM said over time indicates an expansion of the overall economy.

The PMI and regional factory surveys have, however, consistently overstated manufacturing weakness.

So-called hard data on manufacturing production and business spending on equipment suggest the sector has been largely treading water, as demand for goods has not collapsed despite hefty rate hikes from the U.S. central bank.

I don’t think this is a reason to pretend the sky is falling.

Why do you make the stupidest comments about the economy?

Dollar Tree sales increased to $7.37 billion in the latest quarter, and it made a profit of $203 million.

Year to date:

Dollar Tree same-store sales increased 1.5%, driven by a 2.1% increase in traffic, partially offset by a 0.6% decline in average ticket.

Does any of this sound like a sign of a recession? 😆

Tick-tock. It's now 61 days until the election and they are still trying to find something, anything critical to stick to Harris/Walz.
The DOW dipping .0001% points is prime opportunity to complain because Bidenomics has been making corporations and individuals rich and who knows when another precipitous plunge like that could occur?
