They’ll get Trump yet. Bastards
I have no doubt Soros, et al, are also placing bets against the market feeding it...program sells...if you see it tick up after 12:00pm, know that more shorts are coming...what these demons don’t realize is we’ll be even LESS likely to abandon PDJT as there are NO ALTERNATIVES!!! (not that I want any).
Hell I’m trying to scrape as much cash as possible to make a buy in the market. Just a question of when. In the Democrats and MSM zeal to pin anything and everything on POTUS they’ve given the nation an incredible buying opportunity into the market.
If the virus is what I believe it to be (nothing catastrophic) then what an opportunity!
If I’m wrong and the virus is a global killer what good was cash going to do for me anyways...? I’m already plenty invested in lead :)
I started shorting stocks monday moring. I love panicked democrats giving this Trump supporter money. This is probably my best investing week ever.
Stocks go up and down. That’s why a Pres should never point to them as the success of their term. Everybody needs to take a breath. There will be opportunities now, and going forward. You can make money on the ups and downs. Just ensure you stay fit mentally and physically.
Disclaimer, I’m just a concerned observer, not an expert. I think the market was overpriced, and traders were looking for an excuse to pull back. It looks like it’s going to be a bumpy ride down a bit, then it will level off. If the economy remains strong, and the msm doesn’t scare the bejabbers out of consumers, the market will regain momentum.
That’s my 2 cents.
Time to _everyone_ to stop blaming everyone else...seriously...
While the likely spread of coronavirus will cause some effects on the US economy, I believe Bernie Sanders winning in November 2020 would cause a much greater and longer-lasting blow and to our economy. His spending promises and taxing plans are downright communist when put into law.
Of course. They see an opportunity to destabilize the social order. Any reason will do. Then they will blame the resultant disorder on Trump and go for a USA Communist revolution.
Do not doubt me.
I always thought there’d be a major effort to tank the markets hard in 2020, just to hurt Trump’s re-election chances.
Problem is, I never expected it in February. Thought it’d be August at the soonest.
Most people didn’t fall for the previous attempts to cause a stampede to the exits..”Yield Curve Inversion!” “Recession Coming!” etc etc etc
Now, it’s “OMG!! Cornavirus! RUN FOR THE EXITS, everyone!”
And it appears to be working. Rat ba$stards.
The market (investors) was/is looking for an excuse to correct a bit. This virus news, short and possibly intermediate term supply chain interruptions, and a communist candidate for POTUS are all a factor. When major American companies like PG, Apple, Microsoft, Nike, etc, warn they may not be performing to expectations, and entire sectors like Airlines, Cruise lines, Shipping, Tech, Automotive and others are revising downward due to actual interruptions to business operations, that is not “fear mongering”.
I’m not saying there isn’t some fear mongering going on, just that it has almost no impact on the market compared to real world factors.
Trump missed a golden opportunity at last night’s presser.
In reply to the question on the market falling, he could have said “First, the fear of a Democrat candidate becoming President. Second, the foreign production, shipping and travel hits from CIVID-19. And third and biggest of all, the unfounded fear and panic that (pointing) you and you and you and you, our media, have whipped Americans into, so you could have a new crisis. Shame on you for doing that.”
So we corrected about the normal 10%, any lower and the buy lights come on, everyone can relax. Doubtful we go down more than 15% or so, not the end of the world given the returns since Trump was elected.

The Democrats and the sycophant media are portraying the corona virus as the new Black Death that will certainly decimate the planet as a political strategy to discredit Trump and even depress the economy again blaming Trump. Yes the corona virus is highly contagious, but so far it poses little serious risk to a healthy population. During Obama’s presidency Ebola patients were for the first time brought to the US for treatment posing a far more serious risk. Corona virus is another swine flu scare that will not live up to the media hype.
