This could go on for months. I would not be shocked if they close the markets for a while.

Trump needs to suspend trading like they did in 2008. Aren’t there more than 250 traders on that floor anyway? Shut it down!

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah I guess they were not a fan of the fed cut

[Bonemaker]

Fed lowered rate to just above zero this afternoon.

[Old Yeller]

I am not so worried about the Coronvirus itself here in the USA, but the economic impact will easily be billions trillions of lost revenue.

Izzat you Brian Williams?

[BipolarBob]

Thanks. Like I’m not depressed enough.

[alternatives?]

The Fed lowered rates and the Dow declined. They lowered them again, and the Dow declined. Are they stupid enough to do it again?

The media and our governments are going to cause a global depression. You can't shut the world down. You do things that make sense that bend the curve that are cheap/free such as

1) Ban visits to nursing homes and hospitals
2) Ask 65+ to self isolate as much as possibe
3) No PDA among family, friends, esp with elderly
4) Ask caregivers to 65+ to self isolate as much as possible
5) Clean, clean, clean, clean - doorknobs, surfaces, etc
6) If you feel sick, stay at home and isolate
7) wash your hands and don't touch your face

This would bend the curve massively and wouldn't cost us anything. This hysteria will cause a depression that will kill far more people than this thing will.

With the amount of money, between the emergency declaration by Trump on Friday, the bill working through congress and the unprecedented scale of action from the Fed, I am truly surprised that futures are pointing downward.

I don't see anything moving in this city i’m in. I've never seen anything like this . They said the 2008 recession was bad but i remember then there was no noticeably difference : I mean people were all over shopping working etc. Now everyone is shut inside. how will businesses stay afloat if no one is going out to shop etc?

People don't know this but just a 10% drop in economic activity caused the great depression. How many millions died because of that? Why isn't anyone worried about a depression?

[sarasota]

Perhaps an Easter resurrection?

[Theoria]

You can make money on the downs. This idea that stocks must go up is a concern. A ‘free’ market accepts the fact that there will be ups and downs. One should understand the risks in stocks and look to expand your investment strategies.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, the demoⁿⁱcRats must be thrilled right now. The nation they hate
is taking a hit.

[DoughtyOne]

Silver is at 14.64 at the moment.

It has dropped close to three bucks in the last week, and
down nearly four bucks in the last three.

There are some great buying opportunities out there.

[CatOwner]

Trump wanted this cut, and this is the net result. Are we allowed to be disappoint in him for this?

[mulligan]

Die with a virus or die as a slave unless we go back to work, now.

[Enlightened1]

DJIA is down 2,675 points.
