Krugman said the markets would crash and never recover when Trump was elected. "If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never". We are now at record highs - up a staggering 70% in less than one term.,(reply>), @robotron17 Perhaps Krugman was not refering to the DJIA?,(reply>), ​@Not Getting Hmmm... well I trade stocks for a living. And my claim is SUPER easy to verify. Krugman made his claim near the bottom of the dip on election night, right around 17,300 in the DJIA. Multiply that by 1.7 (the formula for calculating a 70% gain) and we get .... 29,410.  DJIA hit an all time high a few days ago at 29,414. Okay, moron?,(reply>), god, i wish you knew half as much about economics as you pretend to. that's not how fast it moves.
