Stock futures drop, hit 'limit down' halt, as extreme trading continues amid coronavirus crisis
CNBC ^ | March 18, 2020 | Yun Li

Posted on 03/18/2020 4:18:50 AM PDT by C19fan

Stock futures fell in early morning trading on Wednesday as the markets remained highly volatile with the government response to the coronavirus fallout still unfolding.

A violent reversal in Treasury yields in response to a potential $1 trillion stimulus package helped to unnerve investors.

Around 6:23 a.m. ET, futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average indicated a more than 1,000-point loss at Wednesday’s open. S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures were also down. Futures contracts for the indices were in “limit down” territory, a situation where trading is halted after futures have hit a 5% loss and can go no lower.

The economy is like a great whale hit by multiple harpoons, trying to breach and breathe, then rolling over again in exhaustion

Wayne Allen Root is generally a very smart guy...he agrees the uptick rule should be instituted Now...I agree, and I fear PDJT somehow foolishly thinks his statements, positive talk will keep the market up. That is not the case. The manipulators have billions in this rigged game and will continue until they have forced it to 20k, then 15k, then 10k. Keep watching. At that point, society will break down. He has to stop them now, the pendulum of what to all /not allow is so far in their favor it isn’t funny. If you believe it is the weak hands who should stop selling, then, you are right...However there is no way to convince these uneducated folks fast enough, since all the MSM outlets are in on our destruction plans with their 24/7 scaremongering...in that light, uptick rule evens it up a bit. Without it, we will have no market value left. Truth. It will not stop. The global elites have too much power and $$$ vested in this. It was planned a long time ago.

...amen...or at least combat the MSM and manipulators by implementing the uptick rule now. I contacted the WH several times on this. PDJT needs to wake up to the manipulators and realize they are part of the virus attack plan.

The elites also have to know that their own assets will become worthless as even their own moneys won’t have any value if they continue this. They have power only as long as they are perceived to have it by means of wealth.

The banksters themselves are subject to the whims and charters of the central governments. The banksters have no armies only nominal control of the Fiat currencies the governments print for them. Governments like our congress can take back control and set up direct government banks if they wished with private banking abolished. That is the extreme that I could see that could happen if the elites continue to press their luck!
