The problem is many Americans listened to them and lost their shirts.

They tried to give it their stamp of finality.

It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover? Frankly, I find it hard to care much, even though this is my specialty. The disaster for America and the world has so many aspects that the economic ramifications are way down my list of things to fear.

Still, I guess people want an answer: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.
— Paul Krugman, New York Times

If the public gets soaked, Paul Krugman really doesn’t care.

AFTER the Election

Telegraph (UK): Dow Jones breaks 20,000 for first time ever and global stocks hit 19-month high as markets reignite ‘Trump rally’
CNN Money: Trump rally is best for new POTUS since LBJ and JFK
Fox Business: Trump Has Had Biggest Dow Gain in a President’s 1st 30 Days Since 1909
CNBC: Trump’s stock market gain in the first 100 days tops Reagan’s and most other Republican presidents’
Fox News: Economist: Stock Market Gained $2T in Wealth Since Trump Elected

WND: Trump aftershocks: Debt falls $68 billion since inauguration

And of course, after their predictions proved to be way off, there was no contrition and certainly no apologies to the millions of stock holders who may have lost millions of dollars heeding partisan-tainted market advice.

But as they’re too important to admit they were wrong, the liberal “economists” double-downed, still hoping to talk down the market for their desired political result.

Unless there’s insider collusion, an economist is as good as a fortune teller. Their only true value to the media is putting meat on their Trump bashing. The problem is Democrats are good at losing other people’s money whether it’s the donor class throwing their money into special elections they continue to lose (despite media assurances) and the misguided who lost big chunks out of their portfolios because they took the word of self-anointed gurus.

CNN: Millions of Americans are left out of the stock market boom

A “boom” liberal economists and pundits warned would never happen. How many were in and abandoned ship because of the crash-is-imminent scenario pushed by Eichenwald, Krugman and others?

Finance expert Steve Rattner foresaw “a market crash of historic proportions” under a President Trump. Moody’s warned of a “weaker” economy. Many said 2 percent GDP growth was the best that could be hoped for.

Other doomsayers included Mark Cuban, CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin and firms such as Bridgewater Associates and Macroeconomic Advisers. (A less-dishonorable mention goes to Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman, who at least walked back his doomsaying about “a global recession, with no end in sight,” soon after election night.)

In fact, the Dow has climbed more than 25 percent since Hillary Clinton conceded. And the first two full quarters of Trump’s term both saw growth of 3 percent or more. Oops.
— New York Post, 11/11/17

Makes you wonder how many of these liberal “economists” said one thing publicly and did something else privately.

Like they really care.

NBA investigates alleged racist remarks by Clippers’ Donald Sterling

Not excusing what he said at all, but “girlfriend” Vanessa Stiviano was clearly keeping the conversation going while she knowingly recorded it for future use.

I wonder what could have set this off…?

Just speculating here, but it sounds like a young woman who needed some move-on money and look who she hashtagged…

#TimeMagazine #LATimes #LosAngelesTimes #NYTimes #NewYorkTimes #TheWallStreetJournal #TheNewYorker #NewsWeekly #TheNewYorkBestSellers #Crown #Publishers #Publishing #RandomHouse #CNN #ABC #NBC #CBS

Hmm… not Fox News?

And suspiciously, both V. and an acquaintance she mentioned have put their Instagram accounts on “private”.

And as the loony left is trying to tie Donald Sterling to the Republican Party in the Twitterverse, know he’s donated just $6,000, with no activity since the early 2000s. Sterling supported Gray Davis (D) as well as Bill Bradley (D), and since when would the NAACP take money from someone in the GOP?

V. Stiviano is clearly a product of our fame-for-no-reason culture and using “looks” to get rich is a tried-and-true tradition in Hollywood. She will probably have a very hard time finding a rich man now, then again considering her skimpy attire, it’ll be easy to see if she’s wearing a wire.

As for Donald Sterling, stay away from loose women and black people. All these former players and rap artists Tweeting their outrage: I’d love to hear what we’d come up with if we could secretly tape a bunch of black liberals in a room and savor the racism!

Oh, and “TMZ Sports”…?

Puh-leez.

UPDATE

Wife Of Clippers Owner Sues Woman She Alleges Had Affair With Her Husband
Sounds like Vanessa Stiviano needs a $1.8 million cash infusion, quick.

We do know that the woman on the tape — who we believe released it to TMZ — is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family, alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million, who told Mr. Sterling that she would “get even”.
— Statement from Donald T. Sterling and the Clippers organization to TMZ Sports

Rochelle Sterling further claims Stiviano had Donald gave her a $1.8M duplex (8837 W 4th St, Los Angeles, CA 90048), $240K in cash, two Bentleys, a Range Rover and a Ferrari. All cars were worth about $500K.

Could THIS be why the conservation was recorded and released to TMZ and how long before we see Gloria Allred out front on this?

UPDATE

If you listen to parts of the deceptively-recorded audio of Vanessa Stiviano and Donald Sterling, he’s clearly concerned about the pic she posted with Magic Johnson, NOT because he’s black, but because of the “call” he’d get from the “culture” that has problems with blacks.

I think it would be a given to ask Sterling WHO calls him and voices their Beverly Hills-Bel Air-Hollywood snobbish opinions about black people.

Of course, that’s NOT where the media will go because it could be very embarrassing to the Hollywood left for us to know just what they really think about blacks, especially those now piling on in group-outrage.
