Math Morons don’t understand that citing “largest point drop” is false reporting because market declines are more correctly measured in terms of PERCENTAGE DROPS.

This article said last Friday’s decline of 666 points on the DOW only ranked 538th in the list of historical PERCENTAGE DECLINES:

Looking forward to a measure of the percentage ranking of today’s loss.

Here are the 20 largest declines:

Today doesn’t even rank in the top 20.

Trump should distance himself from bragging about the market. I knew this was going to happen. He should have qualified his boasts about the markets by saying that “declines will happen, but the market has been rallying.”
