2. Yep, 23,500 is a floor ... it breaks through this and the yield curve gets closer to inverse then

... we're in some leading indicators of a recession coming.

Durable goods, transportation (which is already being hit by fuel prices) are going to be the others to look at.

5. -495 ....trump's tariffs are making Americans poor again

the king is being told to go fuck himself

6. So why isn't he crowing that it never went down so bigly under Obama?

[jmowreader]

8. I'm surprised he isn't, to try to make it go down even more bigly

Strange and possibly stupid question: Does the SEC have a by-name list of people who are shorting stocks, and a list of what they're shorting? I know there's a by-name list of everyone who makes campaign contributions, and who they contribute to. What might be interesting is correlating the list of shorts with the list of Trump donors.

7. hopefully the market recovers before I retire BUT like Bill Maher said maybe this is necessary

for people to wake up

9. Prolonged trade conflict with China might be necessary

I'm not sure if the stock market bottom line matters as much as story lines regarding the tariffs. If people sense Trump is being unnecessarily stubborn with the tariffs and is on a no-win situation with prices rising on Americans as a result, that could impact his business reputation just enough.

Similar to the Mueller investigation which is going fine but the mere duration of it has caused people to lose patience.

Anyway, I'm glad I sold half my stake in XBI late last week when it reached an all time high. That has already dropped more than 5% from peak. I plan to buy back at some point. But biotech tends to move to extremes so if the trend is downward it will drop more than the market as a block.

The stock indexes have actually recovered somewhat toward the 4 PM close. Now down about 1.4% compared to slightly over 2% at lows. Nasdaq has been the laggard, with technology getting hit hardest.
