While the mainstream media is busy criticizing Trump at every turn, the average taxpaying American worker knows the truth because they live on the ground level and see the effects of the Trump administration on their lives. More jobs are being created in multiple industries and American companies are moving jobs back to the country pace not seen in years.

The S&P 500 is proof of the Trump administration's hard work taking effect as it closed Friday after its longest bull-market run closing even above its previous high in January. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell confirmed the U.S. central bank's current pacing of rate hikes. The S&P 500 stock market index had least made a new high on January 26 before pulling back around 10%. The massive bull run over the last six months and new high reached Friday confirmed the bulls are still in control.

Powell spoke at a research symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming saying the Fed's gradual increase in interest rates were the best way to facilitate the economy's recovery and keep job growth rates strong all while keeping inflation under control. Not an easy task and certainly not the doomsday scenario that the mainstream media promised America when Trump was elected President.
Investors say that Powell's remarks are reassuring and coincide with previous comments from the Fed regarding their plans to gradually increase interest rates. Chief market strategist at Bruderman Asset Management in New York Oliver Pursche said, "That’s what the markets wanted to hear. The economic data and strong environment as a whole is the basis, and Powell didn’t get in the way."

The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI also rose 133.37 points, or 0.52 percent, to 25,790.35 while the S&P 500 .SPX gained 17.71 points, or 0.62 percent, to 2,874.69.

Powell's remarks also helped boost energy and materials stocks at a time when oil and metal prices are rising. Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) also rose a healthy 5.8% after SunTrust Robinson Humphrey upgraded the stock to a "buy". Humphrey was also adamant that third-quarter subscriber growth would meet or exceed Wall Street estimates.

People are confident though. Good and Silver have been dropping like crazy the last two months. Silver is still an especially great investment. It will pay off massively in 10-20 years
