Stock market is tanking

https://www.cnbc.com/

I was gullible enough to think that one benefit of TSF as President would be that he would juice the stock market before he tanked the economy a year or two into his second reign of error. I didn't think he would tank the economy less than three months into his second reign of error.

and say outrageous things and pulling numbers out of his addled brain would result in too much of a whipsaw market, not that I had anything to lose.

“Sell in May and go away.” How quaint…

Bill hemmer: "luckily stock market doesn't affect most Americans 🙄

No ticker, have only mentioned it twice in two hours.

I hate people are losing money but loving fox news ignoring this disaster.

Somewhat erratically, to be sure, but over the long run they go up. People who day trade generally lose money.

I am not knowledgeable about all the things needed to pick specific stocks. I have a financial advisor whom I've done very well by. I am taking out a steady 4% from the annuities he put me in, and because their value has grown, we've increased the money I get each month. He also moved pretty much everything from stock funds to bond funds.

And right now it's down a bankruptcy-inducing 2.94%.

and stocks go down. Last July, the Dow dropped 2000 points in three days.

It came back.

The market has a 100% rate of recovery.

HE BANKRUPTED A CASINO!!!

After something like that, how could anyone believe that he is not capable of destroying any business, in any fashion, at any time, and in any place?
