Someone didn't believe the the DJ

15 minutes to go and the DOW is down nearly another thousand points. Apparently the horse's ass and pony show last night didn't get the desired results.


Edit: Closed down nearly 1200. I think somebody is scared.

I just checked, and it's more than 1000. That's 4000 points off the Dow in a week? Sucks to be you, Donnie! Unfortunately, because of you, it also sucks to be us right now.

Solidly in "correction" territory. Not sure there's an end in sight yet. It leveled off for a while today at about -400, but then the bears took over again and another selloff happened.

The market doesn't like uncertainty, and that's about all Trump has.

I pulled my few pennies out of the market last month and bought a piece of land. I just looked out the window and the land is still there. I was worried about effects of Brexit on the markets......Even a blind hog finds and acorn every now and then.....

he will be tested with a serious crisis. I'll bet they were thinking nukes and it couldn't/wouldn't happen. Oops. Bacteria and germs don't care how much money you have in your bank account. It would be nice if we had someone serious in the office. Someone who hadn't taken a hatchet to our institutions the past three years and filled serious posts with unqualified suck ups. Opps again.

And to think the republican controlled Senate had a chance to rid our nation of this menace a few weeks ago and they didn't. SHAME.
