I think less about the stock market than the people in the stock market, i.e. investors. Fewer people are investing due to multiple recessions, and the stock market needs more investors to be strong. That's why Money Mustache and other online resources are key to bringing more people to understand this matter and participate in it -- more important than what the president does. One disappointing thing about Trump was that he made next to no effort in educating the masses about the importance of saving for retirement via investment. He was elected mainly due to his strength in economy, and I expected more emphasis from him in making financial literacy a top priority in education. One big reason for the widening wealth gap is that more and more money is going to the investors, especially during bull markets, instead of to people who don't invest or invest little. It is a bittersweet feeling for me when I buy stocks at low prices, knowing that I essentially take money from poor folk (thus widening the wealth gap some more) who just sold the same stocks I buy in order to make ends meet.
