If the bottom falls out of the equities markets Joe Biden will win the biggest popular vote/Electoral College landslide for a Democrat since LBJ won 61.1% of the vote and 486 Electoral College votes in 1964.

The markets are the only thing holding him up outside of his rabid base.

[House of Roberts]

1. What has upset them today?

I've been out working in the yard, so what did I miss?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. The Dow is crashing -1,000

[KS Toronado]

5. Oh No, there goes the economy for the super wealthy, no more trickle down I presume.

[House of Roberts]

9. Yeah, I see that.

What has the speculators spooked today?

[intrepidity]

3. Trump wont let the market tank

Oh, a day or two, here and there, "buying ops" -- but he'll do *anything* to prevent a real crash.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. He can control some things. He can not control the equities markets

Even Xi and Putin can't control their nation's markets and the Chinese government can actually intervene to buy stocks.

[intrepidity]

6. Just watch

I dont know what he'll do, but he'll try everything.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. What can he do?

If he does something stupid and dramatic investors will think things are bad and sell even more. it's a vicious cycle.

[intrepidity]

8. I honestly don't know. Ask me again after the market recovers

Even then, I may not know.

There's no good reason for the markets to have been where they have. At least, in the traditional sense of what they measured and reflected.

10. (If) the markets recover it will have nothing to with him.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Two major Stocks did splits this week

and that alone will cause the overall what is known as Averages. Second biggee,the Free Money Dried Up.

[DrToast]

12. Doubt it

Over 90% of voters have made up their minds. Up or down, the stock market will matter very little.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. If the Dow drops below 17,000 which I believe was an intraday low in March full panic will set in.

It will be like the financial crisis of 2008- 2009 on top of a pandemic and racial strife. It will be apocalyptic.

[Adsos Letter]

13. It managed to recover slightly by the close.

Dow closed down -807.

[Hoyt]

14. People taking profits or big groups -- like pension plans -- getting a bit nervous.

I've been telling white wingers that the Market is up recently because investors know Biden is a better choice to get us out of this mess, and he's way ahead.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

16. It was down a bit over 800 points.

2.78%. Yesterday it was up over 500 points.

Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down. I seriously doubt that it's going to make a significant difference in the voting.

17. September profit taking....but the Big One is yet to come

[Mr.Bill]

18. And they will blame it on Biden.

When the market was dropping at the end of W's term they said people fearing an Obama presidency were bailing out of the market.
