Well, if part of Putin's objective is to tank the stock markets, he's sure succeeded!

I don't think the crashing is over either! Wow! Nice job Vlad the Impaler!

1. It's down 1.35%. Not much of an adjustment.

[bif]

2. It's been down several days in a row

In expectation of the invasion.

8. The markets are down at least 10% or more since this confrontation started.

Whether it goes further or not we will see.

3. Putin has threatened to go after "sensitive" US assets.

4. No buying interest, every rally fades quickly

It's not just Vlad, it's an overbought market, interest rates, and look at bonds!

[orwell]

5. It's been rolling over for months...

...many stocks are still in bubble territory.

There are great values but nobody is interested in value investing anymore, other than dinosaurs like Munger and Buffett.

It is all about chasing the high flyers, the meme stocks, buying index funds, all to the point of absurdity.

At one point Tesla had a higher capitalization than all other car companies combined even though they sold less than 1/150th of the world's automobiles.

That my friend, is a bubble...

6. Perhaps Putin is installing "sanctions" of his own.

Start hurting rich American shareholders and they will want to be giving Putin the Medal of Freedom, for saving Ukraine.

7. He expects far right pro-Putin candidates like Trump to reap the benefits around the world,

in particular USA.

9. I'm old enough to remember when it dropped 25 percent

in a single day. Rather invest in Biden's US than Putin's Russia.
