the markets will stay open. the only reason they closed down during 9/11 was because of physical damage.

“one day the Dow Jones Industrial Average drops 1,000-2,000 points, jumps up similarly or the same”

More like the bottom drops over the week, with the odd 1 “up” day thrown in once in a while. That’s not “alternating days” balancing one another out, that’s a trend.

Thanks for posting this is a good one also. I don’t exactly agree with the editorial it’s because it is not a Level Playing Field the tactics when you have the oligarchs like Bill Gates Jeff Bezos George Soros and others who want to team up and absolutely obliterate the market with their shorting manipulation schemes fleeces the rest of us out of our shares for those who are foolish enough to sell on the way down. If you think about it right now there simply are not enough people left to sell shares but they are pounding them down day after day and you have to know this has an agenda. How can I say that? Because George Soros with his billion single-handedly crashed the British pound back in the 1990s. So he has in fact done this before. Imagine what it would be if some of these who want President Trump gone pooled their resources. I believe that is what we have right now. So I would actually let the market go back up a little bit today and then close it for 10 days. At that point President Trump can rally the troops trumpet all of the good things get the virus under control with quite frankly I think it already is, and then reopen the market. Somewhere in there I would like him to unmask the manipulators or call them out. He can do that very subtly or bluntly.

As an aside I also thank you for getting up early not that you would be anywhere else because we all are basically at home to order and posting editorials because you had actually killed off my entire 30 minutes on the treadmill this morning in what seems like 5 minutes. So thank you for telling off my 30 minutes and making it go faster. This is probably also why I’m the worst speller and punctuated Iran freerepublic because I do a lot of voice texting from the treadmill that in itself is dangerous.

At 4 a.m. this morning the market futures were + 700, right now they are just about flat. This is more anecdotal evidence of my theory. And I’m certainly not alone in this Theory. I am not going to be surprised if the market is down another fifteen hundred points today they wanted below 20,000.

It is a real correction brought on early by a hyped up virus fear. Deregulation, great trade deals, tax cuts and replacement judges who actually follow the law paradoxically created an exuberant bubble that went beyond the parameters of the good news. It's similar to the crash after the brave new world of the Internet boosted expectations beyond what reality could actually deliver.

What happens if trading is suspended for a couple weeks?

There is very little reason for markets to ever close, other than for some sanity checks. The actual amount of floor trading is minuscule. The institutional deals arranged by floor traders can be made in other ways, just like fowards always have been. The computer servers that facilitate trading are not even located at major exchanges. NYSE/AMEX servers are in NJ. Nasdaq never had a floor.

If you want to talk about the economy ask a economist. If you want to talk about the stock market ask a psychiatrist
