The Only Zero Opinion Site For Presidential Performance
We don’t do editorial.
We don’t opine. And we don’t care what anyone’s “take on it” is. We simply present unadulterated metrics and facts on stock market performance, GDP, and job creation.
Why? Because while we respect everyone’s right to their own opinion, we also think every opinion is stronger when it puts the facts first.

The media seems obsessed with these point increases and decreases, but do they provide the right perspective? If the Dow gains 150 points from 25000 to 25150 and S&P gains […]
