And nope, not nearly tired of it yet. But between the winning, and watching the liberals turn red trying to somehow claim it's not winning - well, just some good times. :) Come up with a billion excuses if you like, none of it matters. And yeah, the various successes, between the market, private sector, employment/unemployment, more regulations removed than created... all will be forgotten... But yet it's not! :) :laugh:

Dow Industrials Cross 25000 for First Time
The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped past 25000 for the first time Thursday, on pace to notch the fastest run to a fresh 1000-point milestone in history.
The blue-chip index, which heavily weights industrial giants such as Boeing Co. and Caterpillar Inc., was recently up 171 points, or 0.7%, at 25094. If the Dow industrials close above 25000, the jump from 24000 would have taken 23 trading days, ahead of the 24-day spans that took the index to 11000 in 1999 and 21000 in March.
The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.3%.
Thursday’s moves marked the latest feat for a rally that has repeatedly wrong-footed skeptics and sent stock indexes around the world to multiyear highs. The Dow industrials hit five thousand-point milestones last year, the most such records in its 120 years.

The Latest Dow Record Happened in Record Time
Sure, 1,000 points on the Dow Jones Industrial Average ain’t what it used to be. But the most recent 1,000-point rally for the blue-chip index was still a notable run.
The 30-member stock average was on track to close above 25000 for the first time in its 121-year history Thursday, taking just 23 trading sessions to climb from 24000. The blue-chip benchmark added 0.3% to 25013 in early trading.
That would go down in history as the fastest run from one millennium marker to the next. The previous record was 24 trading days, accomplished a year ago when the Dow hit 21000 and back in 1999 when it climbed to 11000.

US private sector added 250,000 jobs in Dec, vs estimate of 190,000: ADP
Private sector job creation surged in December as a strong holiday shopping season pushed companies to hire more workers, according to a report Thursday from ADP and Moody's Analytics.
Companies hired 250,000 new workers to close out the year, well above Wall Street expectations of 190,000. The month was the best for job creation since March and topped the 185,000 in November, a number that was revised lower by 5,000.
The total brought 2017's private payroll growth as gauged by ADP and Moody's to 2.54 million, an average of 212,000 a month.
Job growth was broad-based, as professional and business services led the way with 72,000 new positions. The education and health services sector was next at 50,000 and trade, transportation and utilities contributed 45,000. Wall Street-related payrolls grew by 19,000.

Job-cut announcements in 2017 see lowest level since 1990, Challenger report says
U.S. employers announced plans to cut 32,423 jobs in December, bringing the year's total to a low not seen since 1990, global outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported Thursday.
"The tight labor market, coupled with uncertainty surrounding health care and tax legislation, possibly kept employers from making any long-term staffing decisions this year," CEO John Challenger said in a statement. "However, 2018 may see an increase in job cut announcements, as companies realign with consumer demand."
Cuts in 2017 totaled 418,770, 20 percent below 2016's number. In 1990, companies announced plans to cut 316,047 jobs.
