There has to be a good patriotic explanation.
Are you remotely aware of what's going on?
First Presidents are not required to release tax returns, Hillary certainly didn't release tax information on her hundreds of millions of scammed Foundation dollars, did she? Where is the uproar? Rhetorical question.
Be sure and ignore this
Heading into 2018, UBS has been one of the most bullish banks, with its equity analyst Keith Parker predicting the S&P500 hits 3,150 by year-end.
And while UBS' optimism is admirable if hardly unique with much of Wall Street expecting a similar return (which means that the pain trade is for everyone to be wrong), what is more interesting is how UBS gets to its target, and specifically its "EPS bridge" from 2017 to 2018E. What it reveals is that more than half of the (non-GAAP) EPS growth in 2018 is expected to come from the Trump tax cuts and buybacks.
Specifically, as shown in the chart below, when moving from the 2017 non-GAAP number of 132.50 to the UBS 2018 forecast of 157, 55% of this 24.5 delta, or 13.60 is expected to come from the "Trump tax uplift" (10.30 EPS units) and the "Buyback tailwind" (another 3.30). Meanwhile, organic US GDP growth is expected to contribute just 6.5 to this bridge.
In other words, Trump's tax reform, which resulted in corporate tax cuts and a tax regime that has prompted a surge in buybacks courtesy of offshore cash repatriation, will boost EPS growth by more than double compared to what US economic growth would do alone!
And focus on something that has nothing to do with our Presidents performance.....hate rules over logic with leftist

While our economy hangs by a thread, President Trumps policies and agendas economically are genius, having impacts in specific areas that the left cannot in truth state its because of Obama . What we are seeing is 100% Trump, and still the dipstick hateful left ignores facts that under Trump Americans are doing much, much better.
