Trump slams media for failing to cover nonexistent energy stock boom

President Trump unleashed tweets over the weekend slamming the “fake news” media for once again ignoring terrific economic news.

Among other good economic and markets news, Trump said the “drilling & energy sector” is “way up” since the election.

But if Trump’s Oval Office desk isn’t covered with articles detailing a boom in drilling and energy stocks, it’s because there isn’t one. These stocks have done terribly since the election.

The S&P 500’s energy sector is down more than 4%, even as the Dow has soared since November 8. Energy is actually the only sector among 11 in the S&P 500 to lose ground since Trump’s win.

ExxonMobil (XOM), one of the most popular energy stocks, is the worst-performing Dow stock after the election.
