You don't have to like Wall Street to recognize that they know which side of the slice their bread is buttered on. They know their onions what makes them money and what doesn't, premised on what makes an economy go fast, and what makes an economy screech to a halt.
So now we have this:

Breaking: Wall Street research departments working overtime this weekend to alert clients about the potential far left even socialist economic agenda of @KamalaHarris since her speech Friday, particularly her call for price controls. Even the gentle souls of finance can’t escape the reality that Harris is clueless about business (price controls always lead to shortages) and is looking to take the country down a dangerous path (socialism is a recipe for unrest).
Kamala Harris unveiled her economic plan, with its vast government spending to create more inflation, and Maduro-style price controls to supposedly stop it, and Wall Street is starting to scramble. Nobody wants to be the last one out of the pool with that kind of an event.
They know how this story ends, they've seen it time and again, with the Mexican peso meltdown, the Asian crisis, the S&L crisis, the housing crisis, the Russia ruble crisis, the Long Term Capital Management bailout, China's serial devaluations, Argentina's serial defaults, and plenty of other crises.

Kommie Kamala is surrounded by her “maroon” club.
A socialist will socialist with other people’s money. You can sub in communist too. I’m an equal opportunity brasher.
With that, on Monday the market will go down, down, down, etc.
For some people, being able to use their body holes without any consequences is the only issue they care about. They don’t realize there will be consequences whenever they die.
Wall Street may be a scream tomorrow wonder if a halt to trading or a sell off ensues?.
Yes if her support numbers are true it proves how many communists are in the country.
They put her there.
They can push her right back out.
“wonder if a halt to trading or a sell off ensues?”
Good point. We are long on equities. I hope this isn’t a bloodbath.
Yeah it’s looking bad right now.
Pepsi, Nestle, Mars, Coca-Cola - plus retail grocers are about to tank big time.
“With that, on Monday the market will go down, down, down, etc.”
Carefully pick your stocks.
I just put a buy order for BND and WY.
The government is going to “fix” housing, whether D or R. And they are going to get a bunch of help from the Fed.
Kamala ushering in hell...with extreme spending and price controls...
I’ll buy pork bellies.
No, wall street will hold until after Labor Day, when the senior traders are back from summer vacation and the rookies, who have been filling in take a back seat.
Ah but the magic rate cut is coming next month to save it all.
Beaks! Where is Beaks?
Zimbabwe here we come!
Subsidized and/or price controlled.
Food is risky.
Land is at a premium and will only go up. I’ll figure out how to leverage that with my meager funds...perhaps an etf.
