The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 2,000 points Thursday morning after President Donald Trump’s long-awaited response to the coronavirus epidemic triggered a massive sell-off on Wall Street.
The S&P 500 plunged by 7 percent, triggering a circuit breaker, which halts all trading on the New York Stock Exchange for 15 minutes.
All three major averages sank after Trump’s Oval Office address Wednesday night failed to satisfy traders who were hoping for more concrete steps to allay any economic slowdown from the viral outbreak.

Sorry for the double topic. Stupid computer messed up.
Where’s the Goebbels picture?
The market is NOT SELLING OFF because of TRUMP.
It’s people being people and falling prey to panic.
$30 OIL! COVID-19?
There are three types of people during a sell off: those who panic, those who don’t and those who take advantage of the panic of those who panic.

So, the left attacked Trump for doing everything possible to avoid this and then they want to blame him for it?
What happened to stocks during the Spanish Flu? Asian Flu? Hong Kong Flu?
America’s “investor” class.
Good thing Bloomberg knows how to farm.
Haha! Blame a down market morning on pdjt’s speech ?? It was a good enough speech. And leftists should applaud since pdjt spoke about subsidies and market supports. But since the extreme leftists seem to feel they always MUST try undermining the administration, we guess we just have to expect their negative remarks no matter what

EVERYBODY needs to bookmark this GREAT COVID-19 info site suggested by American Thinker!
Nancy Pelosi has a Christmas wish list of all sorts of pork in her stimulus offer. It’s a non-starter, as it should be. Trump needs to stare down the Dems on this, crisis or no crisis.
How else to explain a bond fund falling 8/10ths of a percent? I wish I was still working and had an income stream to buy in.
The futures dipped after the speech. So investors aren’t happy with it. Apparently they wanted more assurances the virus wasn’t going to cause an economic impact. But now it seems everyone says that it will at least for the short-term. And so now you got panic.
Watching NBC is like dropping acid.
Dems and the Fake News have to be laughing their A$$es off at the mass hysteria they’ve helped to create over 4,751 deaths from a non-pandemic virus!
Sadly they are being aided by a conservative site that should know better!
What did they expect. Most investors are little babies who can’t see the wood for the trees. They deserve to lose their money.
I’d rather watch Soviet-era “Vremya”.
Watching NBC is like dropping acid.

You mean you must drop acid in order to watch NBC.
