The Trump era sure has been good for shareholders in what the president likes to call the "failing New York Times."
New York Times Company stock soared 141% between Election Day 2016 and late June 2018. You'd have made more money if you'd bought New York Times stock on Election Day than if you had invested in a fund that tracks the Standard and Poor's 500 Index (up about 29% since Election Day). You even would have made more money with New York Times Company stock than you would have if you had invested in high-tech stocks such as Facebook (up 62%), Amazon (up 118%), Apple (up 71%), or Google parent company Alphabet (up 46%).
