Last trading week was crazy, but the start of this week was even more crazy. Everybody said don`t buy the dip, and now you can clearly see that everybody is doing the opposite. They are buying the dip. But take a look at one of the top stocks I am looking at in times like this.

Target Inc jumped nearly 6% on Monday, while WalMart jumped nearly 8%. Target Inc warned investors that its holiday season was weaker than the company was expecting. Wall Street expects Target Inc to earn $1,66 per share on revenue of $23,47 billion. Last year earnings came to $1,53 per share on revenue of $22, 98 billion.

The consumer is strong and remain the driving force of the U.S economy. Just as important, big-box retail is not dead, as evidence by the strong earnings results and forecasts just delivered from Walmart.

Can Target Inc keep up the pace? Target Inc has been one of the better performers in the retail sector, with its shares up 42% over the past year, thanks to the company`s e-commerce initiatives. But with concers about the coronavirus, Target Inc will need strong top-and bottom-line results, solid growth and upside guidance to keep Wall Street excited about its direction.

Watch out for Target Inc before the open on Tuesday March 3.

Former Reagan economist Art Laffer said it is the longest recovery in the U.S history, and it is all because of Trump

The Hate Trump Media Mob said Trump will never be a president. The day he was inaugurated, they said he was stupid becuase he wanted to cut taxes. They also said he can`t run the White House like a corporation.

But millions of people voted for Trump and it seems like the majority of the people did the right thing. 61% of the Americans say they are better off today than three years ago (Gallup). Trump made it easier for for ordinary people and corporations by cutting the taxes, and this is why the American economy is booming.

Barak Obama want some credit for it. «Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history,» he wrote in a tweet yesterday.

Former Reagan economist Art Laffer said it is the longest recovery in the U.S history, and it is all because of Trump.

Obama printed money but the recovery was very slow. When Trump entered the White House, things changed very fast. The difference between Obama and Trump is that Obama is a politician while Trump is an economist.

Trump is a businessman and he know how it works. In addition, he have support from economists like Steven Terner Mnuchin and Larry Kudlow. Mnuchin is an American investment banker and civil servant. He is also a former hedge fund manager and investor.

As Secretary of the Treasury, Mnuchin supported the tax reform of 2017 and advocated reducing corporate tax rates. He also supports a partial repeal of Dodd-Frank, citing the complexxity of the legislation.

Kudlow has also been in the game for a very long time. He is an American financial analyst and former TV host. He began his career as a junior financial analyst at the New York Federal Reserve. Later on, he jumped ove to Wall Street.

Kudlow joined the administration of Ronald Reagan as associate director for economics and planning in the Office of Management and Budget.

The U.S has strongest most durable economy in the world, Obama said during his 2016 State of the Union address. The job growth was strong under Obama. At that time, America has put more people to work than Europe, Japan, and all advanced economies combined, so Obama was correct.

I don`t care about left and right. For me they all on the same team. Let`s call it Team America.
