5000 point raise in one year, first time in history
Careful not to confuse points with percentage. FDR and Calvin Coolidge are still the top dogs for 1st year performance:

Right. drumpf elected about a year about has everything to do with today's market. Got it. Thanks.

It has almost everything to do with the fact Trump was elected with a majority Republican House and Senate. Investors largely operate based on future speculation. The market has reacted to the promise of tax cuts, particularly business tax cuts.

Can you say with a straight face that the market would have grown this way with a Hillary win? A person who would never entertain a business tax cut.

What's particularly remarkable about this run up is that it started when the market was already high, not after a crash where a normal speedy recovery occurs.

You're missing the point (get it?). The percentage increase/decrease is the actual measure of performance, not the point increase/decrease.
i posted the article, 5000 points in one year has never happened in history. If i was talking percentage i would say percentage.
