to tell you how that's not all that much. Really? That's an 18.04% drop in just 16 days--and this day isn't over yet. I'd expect that out of a jerk like Trump at one of his NAZI rally's but not on here.

I expect a lot of second houses being on the market soon and vacation plans to Cannes this year being scrapped. It is also going to wipe out the startup market. Liquidity is going to dry up for quite some time.

Yeah, Vice President Pence, but right behind Pence, Trump named Steve Mnuchin and Larry Kudlow. Now, I realize that even under the best circumstances, Mnuchin and Kudlow are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. But they're spectacularly useless in a public health issue. Trump wants financial people spearheading this "response."

His focus on the market crashing instead of the underlying problem IS the underlying problem causing the market to crash.
