    Panic always fucks up things that didn’t need to be fucked up. This didn’t need to happen. The markets will recover. 
    It will recover, but the market is right.  Profits and earning are likely to be way down in the next quarter or two.  The economic hit from this is real.  Every company I deal with has cancelled travel for the next 30 days to start.  Think about the effect on airline revenue, hotels, food, bars, etc.  That's just one little microcosm.  Then extrapolate it.  

    Sure, the economic effect of the virus is real, but panic will accentuate it in ways that aren't necessary.

    What?  Economies can't go up forever?

    When greed takes precedent over everything else they have to adjust.

    When I was a kid, my sister took drivers ed at school.  This was back in the day when they showed kids movies of people in a crash losing body parts like arms and heads that were outside the window of a vehicle.  So now, whenever my wife and I are out and about, if I see an arm or a leg sticking out a window I say, "Let's get close- that  arm is coming off!"  She rolls here eyes, I laugh, and give the guy a break.

    OPEC asked for help from Russia to lower production to increase oil prices, they declined so OPEC flooded the market with cheap crude and sent the prices tumbling and the rest of the stock market with it.

    Happy Monday Morning to you.

    FYI Light sweet Crude is hovering at just over $30 a barrel.

    The reason it will shut down is from the overall cost it takes to get the oil.  Read an interesting article on the shale deposits.

    If you have money invested in that I would pull out.  Not looking so good.

    Yes, because the light sweet crude is almost the same price.  I would never invest in that product.  It's boom or bust.  It's an ongoing cycle of ramping up and shutting down.

    Down 1,885 prior to halting trading. Thanks very stable genius. Scowling and stalking around and trying to BS your way through this is not a good look.

    But...but Donald Trump said "the stock market is starting to look very good to me (!)" two weeks ago today.

    Blame the corona virus for the start of this not Trump.

    His smugness of us being ok about it makes him sound like a used car dealer though.

    I posted the same on the Trump page.  It's hilarious that neither of these dolts understands the reference.

    It's a good thing we gave tax cuts to the very wealthy during a time when the economy didn't need any help. Also a good thing the president bullied the fed to cut interest rates at a time they didn't really need to. Not like we could that extra ammo right now. 

    Also a good thing this administration has spent and spent and spent like none before it over the last three years. 

    None of those things are going to come back and bite us in the ass.

    Oh wait.....the president bankrupted a casino multiple times? Fuck. Who could have ever predicted this?

    So I just learned that the stock market has a "circuit breaker".

    The market shuts down at 7% for 15 minutes.  It will then shut down for an additional 15 minutes if it goes down 13%.

    If the market drops 20% trading resumes for the day.

    Never knew this.

    Markets like stability and the world used to look to the United States for steady, effective leadership during times of crisis. Team Trump Treason is trying to BS his way through this and that should be obvious to anyone paying attention. I absolutely blame Team Trump Treason as he dismantled and defunded the apparatus initiated by Obama, because it was an Obama era program, and an Obama era program only, that was created for a situation just like this. Really, don’t blame Team Trump Treason? For fucks sake.
