Those thoughts have crossed my mind. We’ll see what shakes out.

Don’t assume anything though, prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.

Up 50% since Trump election, down 1.2% today. Keep things in perspective.

Historically average market gain is 7-8%. In 3 years it has gone up 50%. It has to fall a lot more to align with 100 year average.

markets were expected to be shaky today due to demand for fuel in China is rippling the crude market due to city shutdowns and flu containment, etc.

DJIA currently down 440 pts. Your website is messed up.

The market is down mostly because of the coronavirus and its possible deleterious impacts on trade.

I don’t think it’s anything to get excited about...yet.

A tanking stock market also helps the impeachment.

Trump got a major trade deal done with China that works in our favor and causes the Chinese leadership to lose face.

This is the Chinese showing the world that they are in control of their country. And it is a response to the trade deal.

Think about it...XI personally made a statement after only 12 or less poeple died at the beginning of the scare which if you see the data the majority were elderly folk ....SOMETHING STINKS!!! He personally showed his face ...WHY not his WHO representative? Because by him showing his face on TV made it more legit and convinced the people on the outside that this was indeed a huge crisis! The evil communist bastard Xi’s play is panning out exactly the way they choreographed it!!

Excellent post. Yes, if they can take down President Trump, their mission is accomplished. We’ll probably see more events like this before the election.

If your investment website shows the dow down 5,000 you are better off using the Babylon Bee for investment advice.

Better yet, send me your account info and permission to use and I'll he'p you make money.

At least you'll know that one of us FReepers is making money from your investments.

And, you'll never have to worry about your investments, ever again.

Dear Freeper Friend, ‘‘tis true the ‘enemy’ is working overtime, but I assure you President Trump is getting the best ‘breaks’ possible!

Read Psalm 93 if you will!
God has His hand on Donald Trump, I truly believe and am not alone in saying this!

He has plans to do good for our President!

Sounds like a problem.

Meanwhile, the actual stock market is down a bit because of the corona virus.

And one of our heroic pharmacutical companies is spending huge sums of money to fast-track a vaccine for it. Something no other country can do, because they don’t let their companies have profits that could be spent to save our lives.

“ Historically average market gain is 7-8%. In 3 years it has gone up 50%. It has to fall a lot more to align with 100 year average.”

Why is 3 years your magic number? In a recovery the market usually takes 3 years to recover previous highs. With 0bama it took 6. We had the slowest, weakest recovery since the Great Depression. We are just starting to make up for lost ground and doing so in the midst of the best economy in 50 years.

Lots of room to go.
