Dow Plummets 2,000 points, S&P 500 Sinks More Than 7% Amid Oil Price War
CNBC ^

Posted on 03/09/2020 11:41:24 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Stocks cratered Monday as investors grappled with the sinking price of oil and the spread of the coronavirus.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average tanked 2,043 points, or 7.9%, on pace for its worst day since December 2008. The S&P 500 plunged 7.5%. The massive sell-off triggered a key market circuit breaker minutes after the opening bell. Trading was halted for 15 minutes until reopening at 9:49 a.m. ET.

 

The sharp declines followed a roller-coaster week that saw the S&P 500 swing up or down more than 2.5% for four days straight. While Monday’s drop was significant, it still didn’t crack the 20 worst days for the S&P 500.

The only possible way to defeat POTUS in November is to tank the economy. Some powers that be, are working hard to do just that.

Time to consider suspending trading?

Polticalwire.com is naming the Wuhan virus as Biden’s running mate, they are gleeful.

I’m honestly glad the market is down. I’ve been worried it has been going up too fast and a huge bubble would burst ala tech bubble and housing bubble.

I look at this as a check and the market gets back to reasonable growth rate, not a boom rate.

Upswing will begin when warm weather arrives and virus starts dying away.

I don’t care if the economy falls to the seventh circle of h!ll, I still will not vote for Biden.

I will still proudly vote for President Trump.

He is the ONLY person who would be able to bring us out of it.

Two things will happen starting by late June or sooner.
The CV will fade out as does every other flu-like virus as the wx gets warmer, and the stock market will shoot back up like a rocket.

Expect a +300-500 point 'dead cat bounce' tomorrow.

You have been warned.

Oil plunges 24% for worst day since 1991, hits multi-year low after OPEC deal failure sparks price war.

Oil prices impacted by Mean/Stupid Trump’s failure to kill the killer Corona Virus and save mankind. /S

Vote for Biden and save the world financially and virus wise. /S

Companies like Microsoft and Google will benefit with their web conferencing software. In fact, both may offer a huge sale in the next months for corporate-level licensing with very cheap license fees per user.

The President needs to borrow a tactic from the Left and start having regular fireside talks to the public, encouraging Americans to work together in their own communities, to help each other weather whatever problems mat arise--health wise or economic. The tactic should not be avoided just because the New Deal abused it.

This is very important, both tactically and strategically. It involves defeating the politics of blame & envy, with a conservative appreciation of the traditional value of the congenial community.

Am I right or wrong?

Also consider:

Blame & Envy Cocktail

Persuasive Use Of Images
