Given where the DJ was then, that’s probably the record percentage drop too, correct?

Not if the Democrats scare the hell out of people like they did in 2008 and a majority of voters don’t have the brains and the skills to figure it out. Gotta scare the hell out of them right back. Rational arguments lose when put up against an immediate, emotionally-based threat.

Two types of replies on this type of thread:
"BUY STOCKS NOW!" or "This is it, folks. The end of the world. Lock and load."

All the 401K- and IRA-dependent retirees will now have to re-join the workforce.
Nonsense. A market crash doesn't automatically force people out of retirement.
Most retirees who depend on their IRAs for income, will either adjust their monthly withdrawal down, or just wait for the principle to rebound with the market.

“All the chickens are coming home to roost it seems for Obama and his total ineptitude.”
We know that, but not one of the media outlets will tie obama’s destructive policies to this. the majority of the sheeple will be fooled into blaming something else.

The market was overvalued - let’s not forget the damage to the economy that Obama’s socialist policies cause. It eventually brings everything down, except taxes.

I’m more in the meh category.
It’s fascinating to watch, but I know this isn’t anything that hasn’t happened before and has been predicted for years.

This is bad news for those who are close to retirement.
For those who are still young, they can ride this off via Dollar Cost Averaging.

Will TPTB double down on the Obama Bubble, I’ll bet they do.

I had to turn off Fox news. They had some Clintonista on who blamed Bush for this crash.
Good luck with that. OBTW, my $$ is not in the market. I invest in lead and blued steel.

It is. Very attractive dividend yields there, along with XOM, and RDS/B. Will be putting in a buy order shortly.
