You have a strange way of evaluating the economics of what’s happening.

Somehow, you’re using Dow futures—which reflect only 30 large companies—as your main metric, while overlooking broader factors like inflation, oil prices, and currency movements. How does that make sense as a way to assess policy decisions?

The Dow rose 2.39% so far today, yet you seem to ignore that. But when it drops by half that amount, you treat it as meaningful or significant.

It’s a flawed metric to rely on so heavily, especially since it represents only a small slice of the overall economy and affects a limited portion of the population.
