Stock markets plunged to their lowest level in more than a year on Monday, extending a five-week rout as investors weighed the prospect of interest rate hikes and China's COVID-19 lockdowns.

The Dow fell 654 points, or nearly 2%, to close at 32,246. The broad-based S&P 500 fell 3.2%, to 3,991, while the heavy-tech Nasdaq lost 4.3%.

It's the fifth straight week of losses for the S&P 500 — its longest losing streak since 2011, according to data provider FactSet.

“COVID worries”??!!!!

FFS, people cannot be stupid and gullible to buy this steaming sh*t sandwich again, can they?

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure they can.

I got out fully soon after dementia Joe became president. Nibbled on index funds today.

Did no one tell you stock markets fluctuate?
If you want steady prices buy CD’s.

I finally decided to check my Vanguard accounts this morning. I kinda know how those guys who jumped out of windows in 1929 felt now. Thanks Joe!

Yup. Pretty much everything is at a 52-week low, except for a few select natural resources funds.

I thought ‘inflation is a good thing’…according to rat talking points…

It's good if you're in debt. Great if you're 10s of trillions of dollars in debt.

I put a large chunk of my 401k into a guaranteed income plan. But, I’d say talk to your Plan manager (assuming you have a 401k).

Republican’s can defeat Biden and the Rat’s in the midterms by buying Billboards along all interstates with Joe’s image of I DID THIS pointing to the current High price of Diesel and gas. The other side of the billboard should have a picture of the Democrat Congressman or Senator who is running for reelection. Stick it to the Rats....

American’s will get pissed off with looking at the I DID THIS BILLBOARD.
