    When the Dow, NASDAQ or even the S&P drop by 5%, trading is automatically halted.  This is to prevent a 1929 style crash.  I don't even recall the last time this happened.  It may not even have happened in 2008.  This one is driven by Brent crude oil dropping by 30%.  It stems from a dispute between Opec and Russia.  OPEC wanted to reduce supply due to the corona, and Russia refused. So the market sees a price war coming.  No matter how you slice it, I don't see how at least one quarter, if not multiple quarters of economy contraction doesn't happen.  And two quarters = recession.  Remember that the market is a leading indicator, jobs are a lagging indicator.  Trump will have some busy thumbs in the morning.

    Thanks for this. I have been following the OPEC angle but have very little understanding of markets and the 5% fail safe. Do you know when they open the markets back up? 

    I'm sure it will be a fine though, Trump has put the brightest and sharpest minds in all the best positions, not to mention the fact that he's a stable genius. They will have this all fixed by tomorrow, like they have with the coronavirus.

    I think it will open on time tomorrow, I presume.  I'm not really sure, it's a bit uncharted territory.  And it's funny, this is the one thing that Trump can't gaslight.  He can't control the WHO numbers, what the states report and what the markets think.  They've floated a 'stimulus' but that's honestly worthless.  The problem is going to be supply side, not demand.  And it would take a year to feel it anyway.  He's a spectator.

    Here in Alberta this oil crash looks like it will devastate this province. If the price stays this low for any period of time a lot of dominos will start to fall.

    We recently had an election where we threw out a government trying to diversify our economy for a government who has gone all in on the oil industry. All our eggs are in this basket.

    That sucks.  Hopefully it's only a temp drop for you guys and not a long term issue.  We have a few states here that produce low grade fossil fuels as well that will be shut down when the price per barrel of the sweet crude goes below 35-40.  This will be a direct jobs impact.

    So when is Trump going to be quarantined

    Soon, I'm guessing. I'm sure he spent the weekend with Gaetz (who just self-quarantined) licking door knobs at Mar-a-Lago. Congresscritters who came in contact with confirmed COVID-19 cases at AIPAC and CPAC have been self-quarantining (Gaetz, Collins, Cruz and others). Trump is a known germophobe. He must be shitting bricks.

    Gaetz totally licks doorknobs. He has to move the gas mask aside first, but I can absolutely picture it.

    I know this is just an anti-Trump hypothetical, but politically-speaking, he'd be foolish to suggest that. I think that Trump's base would be more likely to "risk" going to the polls to vote for him than I think the democratic base would "risk" going to vote for Joe or Bernie.
