any thoughts?

Historically, the market goes up and down. Right now it is down.

Raided the treasury to inflate the market with a > 1 trillion dollar stimulus. Now they are cashing in.

It perhaps still has another 2000 points to loose.

I don't know, but we really need the President to focus on A$AP Rocky right now...

When America was "great"

A market correction is 10%.

Needed correction for a while.

Increasing global recession fears drove Wall Street investors to the safety of U.S. government debt.
Feeding fears of a global recession was a report that Chinese industrial production was climbing at its weakest rate in 17 years and Germany's economy -- Europe's strongest -- was actually shrinking.
Gold, often seen as a haven for investor assets, settled 0.91 percent at $1,515.90, a 52-week high and the highest level in more than six years.
Oil also tanked on global recession concerns, with the benchmark U.S. crude falling 5 percent to $54.23 per barrel.
Germany's economy shrank by 0.1 percent in the second quarter from the previous three-month period as global trade conflicts and troubles in the auto industry weighed on Europe's largest economy.

Trump tariffs sparking a global slowdown, aka Trump amateur hour.

I was right.

Futures are up this morning. Perhaps yesterday was just a round of shaking out the rubes.

Kinda like dems raided social security?

The Obama/twitler recovery is the longest in US history.

Last December was it? The market dumped to 23000 so that is an indication this thing is shaky.

China and Germany have reported slowing economies.

Twitler has made it clear "america first" but he actually had no idea that to put America first you deal with the world with diplomacy, intelligence, and graciousness instead of tweeting threats and pulling back from all existing deals without replacing them. He is an idiot of epic proportions. He has exacerbated the end of the recovery.

Capitalism collapses ever few years and has to be propped up on the backs of the working class.

Everybody lift! Chase out the immigrants and we don't nearly have the lifting capability. And don't count on the twitler supporters to help they so old they just living on socialism. Be nice if the wealthier ones capital gains were taxed at fair levels.

So Obama post presidency found the magic wand?

Just need Fed to lower interest rates and more tax cuts for "job creators."

Yes 3rd! Since he's a reality show star he's probably thinking he could phone a friend or maybe ask the audience for help!


beater5 living in the past still and probably gets confused when he can't find a drinking fountain with his color on it. I wonder what beater's hero is going to do to get out of this? Maybe he doesn't care. $hit homeboy made his dough and cut taxes for his friends. He's probably only staying in office so he can avoid prosecution.

I think the problem is that the economy has been overstimulated; we gave a shit ton of cash to the capitalists who bought back their stocks and drove up the market.
Now we have ballooning debt because of the giveaway and when markets crash we don't have anywhere to go with interest rates and more deficit spending will be difficult.

What you're experiencing under trump is the looting of the american economy, and when the dust settles trump and his band of criminals will walk away from the table saying "better luck next time suckers".

In all seriousness, it's because Trump couldn't get Herman Cain on the Fed.

Yes Rusty and the oldsters (twitler supporters) that think twitler actually cares about this nation more than himself are complicit.

For y'all GOP'ers "complicit" means you helped.

When it comes to the tariffs, if they fail and the failure staggers the economy, will Trump suck up his pride and do what's best for the country or take us down with him.

I'm thinking the second choice.

BULLSHIT!!!!!
