‘Shark Tank’ Star: Ignore Media’s Trump Hysteria, Look at ‘Remarkable’ Things He’s Actually Done

[OneHungLo]

If that were the case, can somebody explain why the stock market has surged roughly 41 percent from the night Trump won the presidential election to today?

After all, anyone with even a casual knowledge of the markets knows they are extremely sensitive to signs of uncertainty and turmoil. If we hear all of this noise from the media and Democrats about how the country is divided, facing an uncertain future and every other doomsday prediction, why isn’t Wall Street paying attention?

Because Wall Street looks at things in a different light than most individuals. Money is not a Republican or Democratic asset. Who the president is doesn’t trigger unrealistic emotions — either for or against.

Kevin O’Leary, noted investor and one of the stars of ABC’s “Shark Tank,” says when you cut through all of the noise surrounding Trump’s presidency, he’s doing some “remarkable” things to help businesses, specifically the cutting of regulations.

“I would say on a policy basis, I’m going to have to give it an 8 1/2 out of 10 so far,” O’Leary told Hill.TV’s Buck Sexton of the Trump administration’s performance to date.

“The reduction of regulations has been remarkable in how it has accelerated small business,” he said. “These things are quietly being changed, and I really — I credit the administration for doing this. They’re making it easier to run a small business in pretty well every state I’m involved in. So that’s working.”

In an Op-Ed O’Leary penned for The Hill.com, he heaped more praise on the administration and said the markets are very confident in the president’s economic plans.

Part of that confidence, O’Leary said, is based on looking at the facts of what Trump is doing in terms of fundamental business policies, not the emotions social issues generate.

“Trump is like no president before him: not good, not bad, but different,” O’Leary wrote. “Want to manage through the turmoil? Here is a better strategy. Ignore the noise and watch the policy.”

O’Leary credits Trump with putting in place competent economic managers such as Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Director Larry Kudlow and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. O’Leary says deregulation and tax reforms are already a done deal, and trade is the next item on the agenda.

“Their message is clear: They are going to keep ratcheting up tariffs until the eurozone and China come to the table,” O’Leary said. “They care about the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Asian trade protocol, too, but these have been pushed to the back burner while they focus on the big dogs, China and Europe.”

The president is receiving steady criticism for his tough stances on trade, but if his policies were really that bad, the markets would reflect that, O’Leary said.

“So why has the market not corrected, and why have many stocks continued to hit all-time historic highs?” he asked. “Because the potential to equalize tariffs has such tremendous economic upside for the U.S. economy, investors are willing to put up with pain even if the chance of success is only 50 percent or less.”

And the markets are willing to put up with a lot of pain if the payoff is worth it, O’Leary said.

“The markets know this is not going to happen overnight, but the upside is so enticing that it is willing to wait,” he said.

O’Leary said that rather than judge a president or other politicians based on whether they have an “R” or “D” after their name, those in the business world know it’s best to look at the steak, and not the sizzle.

“My best advice in these extraordinary times? Tune out the circus and focus on the policy that actually gets implemented,” O’Leary said.

It’s hard for critics of the president to tune out the circus when it seems to have taken up permanent residence in their heads. But you can bet there are some hardcore liberals who are embarrassed to admit just how nice their 401k statements have looked since Trump took office.

I'd say we're doing just fine considering we're in the midst of a trade war. When the dust settles and Trump secures us better deals worldwide, the DJIA will be propelled over 30k.

Current trade war is shooting with BBGuns. China has signed up direct trade with more than 20 countries this year, Trumps working on some negotiations, fact of the matter is he's done nothing just smash deals.

As Trump seems to of found out now with Soyabeans, its not just that China is buying less, they've found/created new markets for them, now its not that they're buying less from the USA, their not buying them at all.

Thank god Europeans use Soya so much in their cuisine!.. All is good Trumps in charge!

He's smashed poor deals. It seems like we're constantly being ripped off while other countries benefit.

Brazil, the world's biggest soybean exporter as it is.
China raised their Brazilian soybean purchase 25%. The downfall with Brazil is their soy / corn stockpile is in excess and being stored outdoors in the elements. With no rail system to move the soy, their only means of transportation is moving the soy strictly by truck to the railways. Make you wonder what the quality is.

So it's the political case of - You do this and we'll do that. Next will be further spite work by limiting Chinese exports to the United States. Everything I look at seems to be made in China / Japan or Indonesia

If you notice - All countries are exporting their goods and services to some other country.
I think it's time the United States becomes more self sufficient limiting our need to depend on other countries goods and services.

I dunno about all the Trump stuff, but Kevin O’Leary himself seems really nice. He hit me up personally on FB Messenger a while back, and wanted to help me invest in Bitcoin with him...

Naturally, I told him that I 'cunt a4d2' but he was still really nice and we chatted for ages. He even called me 'Sir' a lot... Very polite gentleman.

where did you come up with this? China has 900 million pigs that need soybeans for food. USA is the #1 soybean producer on the planet. Other nations can't just automatically shit soybeans to meet unmet Chinese demand.

+ Eu just promised to buy (more) soybean from the USA.

Other nations can take a bite out of the amount of soybeans China buys from the usa. Meaning that if the usa can't move those beans that they could once count on China to buy, they will just sit there and prices drop!

those nations are now buying low priced soybean from the USA to meet domestic demand.

Brazil and Argentina, another major soybean grower, have snapped up some of the cheap US supplies for their domestic markets, according to Grant Kimberley from the Iowa Soybean Association.

“There have been purchases from Brazil and Argentina to back fill their own domestic industries,” he said.

Aren't they just buying surplus beans at a cheaper price which hurts the farmers?

Send your beans to China for a nice profit and then buy cheap surplus beans from the USA for domestic use. Shit, why not mix them in with some of the beans going to China to fulfill the contracts and then some to show you are a stable trading partner

Once USA is seen as an unreliable trade partner with China it could take a long time to get them back.

Trump started the trade War but he doesn't have the power to end it, that power lies within each and every other country China, Canada, Mexico, Japan, etc. Some will take longer than others to end their tarriffs. Trump doesn't have the power to make them stop on their end. Sad

yes.

I'm not saying it's good and trump is good, because it's not and he's not. I'm pointing out to MrBB that China most certainly is not able to just walk away from/replace USA supply of their soybean demand as he claimed.

Brazil is shipping more to China, Brazils crop used to go to the EU, the EU buying more from America.. was going to happen regardless.

China has been running around buying up every other markets stock, and like you say that still won't meet their demand. However they also have been in numerous countries looking to establish new markets, offering to build the processing plants, keep in mind its an easy crop to grow from planting to harvest is around a 100 days.

Trump might of spent the last month on Twitter, Xi's been in Africa... handing out magic beans I believe.

Soya grows pretty much anywhere, there's a lot of counties out there with a lot of farmers wondering what to put in for next season. If Trumps trade war goes on and or China keep the current policies, how long before you think other countries will meet that demand? Cos I'd predict.. not very fucking long.

BTW from your article:

"Chinese companies are doubling down on investments in South America, which is gradually joining Beijing’s “Belt and Road Initiative”. The long-term effect of this trade war may ultimately be the consolidation of Chinese infrastructure in South America. And this may also drive a possible shift of soybean prices: from the US dollar at the Chicago Board of Trade to the yuan in Dalian."

I'm talking about what's going on right now and the immediate future. No one can accurately guess what the longterm will be on this matter other than a prolonged trade war will be bad for everyone. trump is playing a dangerou game.

Conveniently omitting the part where it recovered from the housing crisis. If you look at the numbers as a whole you see a steady climb and a bit more improvement when he took office. None of that had much to do with either president however as they normally have little to do with the market. Not that you would notice as you only use it as a scapegoat or when its convenient to your troll.

I can understand you taking on the morons around here every now and then, but you standing behind your leader no matter what says more about you than it does about the insane ones posting here full time... No republican is behind his tarriffs idea.. it is failing and hurting your economy and your agricultural community. It's ok to call him out on it at this point...

Tradewar is irrelevant now on the beans, their sourcing them from anywhere they can, if the tradewar stops, USA don't get back 100%, they've lost "trust" in your market and arranged/arranging others.

One of the big things American's are missing is Trumps policies are fiscally inflationary and that's causing the USA dollar to raise, meaning foreign businesses are making more, 10% already this year and that's only set to increase.

the zillion dollar question is will Trump devalue and banana republic your money, and he's said a few times he would.

this is the 2nd time you've exclaimed this. where's all the proof? What trump policy is inflationary? the economy was already growing pre-trump and inflation is a consequence of any economic growth. deregulation leads to inflation? because what other economic policy has trump enacted? and where is the dollar being devalued at all? no where.

You just don't understand or follow the market. If you did you would understand when he was elected people started digesting his tax policy with regards to tax repatriation and how much money these multinational corps were going to finally bring back. It caused that initial surge in the market.

no I understand perfectly...he rewarded tax cheats and they did buy backs to reward themselves and this is, somehow, prosperity...basically he did some "trickle up" and the poor and middle class will get to foot the bill later....something nobody speaks about: the growing federal deficit, americans #1 growth...also the moment trump was elected, somehow, all of obamas achievements did not count, because "reasons" ...


oh but if the market falls it will definitely be obamas fault...even in 2020

The proof is in my pay packet as someone making USD and bringing it back to Aus, Donald's given me at least 10% pay rise this year.

He unleashed money held overseas and dropped taxes at a time of maximum debt.. that's inflationary.

America is not a company it's a country, grow it too fast.. on borrowed money and inflation comes up to bite you.

Trump said a few times during his campaign that he would not rule out devaluing the USD, understand as a foreigner making money in the USA that's the million pound gorilla in the room for us. Also understand I do currently pay tax in the USA, my major income makers have me on 5% withholding tax and I'd guess that 5% is more than 50% of American's pay per year and certainly more than most board trolls make. ;)

I don't see good long term prospects, especially with a pending USA China tradewar, basically that boils down to which leader is willing to let their citizens suffer the longest. Unfortunately here in Aus we're right in the middle of that, sorta dependant on both economy's. The dollar going up means interest rate hikes and that one effects me the most as I carry a shit load of debt, every 1/2 a percent is like a punch in the head.
