So apparently they temporarily shut down the stock market due to a 7% drop.

Watching live.

It could be a spike for Warren's dog if it meets the Constitutional requirements to be president.

Trump is toast if the economy tanks. Note that Wall Street is not Main Street, but we have become accostumed to using it to measure trumps winnage, so lets keep doing that.

A fourth of Italy gets shut down due to corona, AND Saudi Arabia and Russia decide to get into a pissing match over oil production.

It's like the world is conspiring to destroy the markets right now.

I sold out my stock holdings at 880 for my peace of mind (I was overthinking it) late last year. Its now 730.

So chump change and nothing to be a jerk or jerk-off over.

What we are seeing is a correction. If you can't take volatility, then don't do stocks.

Back on. The major indexes are now in the mid -5%s.

Its a good thing you did. Norways benchmark stock dropped 12.3%, twice as much as other Euro nations, which is much netter than your currency that only dropped 5.3%. So you should probably makemit well compared to most others.

On the upside. My neice just got plane tickets from Philly to SC for $36 each.

Before they were priced for a correction. This is definite recession territory. Good thing we gave all those billionaires a tax cut they were able to cash out of before stocks collapsed.

Dumbass republican voters.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Saudi Arabia and Russia are arguing over the price and flow of oil. That, and the Fake News, is the reason for the market drop!

Dukhat,

I'm not sure what tax cuts have to do with coronavirus and oil production, but okay.

We will need a stimulus to fight the recession but we already spent all our money on a wasteful tax cut and more carrier groups.

We went through the last recession with the Bush tax rates still in effect and it wasnt a major problem. Even with the 2017 tax reform, the top income tax rate of 37% is higher than it was in 2008.

The real problem (for anyone wanting to reuse the countermeasures employed to fight the last recession) is that the Fed already has a heavy balance sheet and not much room to move interest rates. Every time they tried to fix that, the markets panicked.

Does it really matter? The Treasury will do some stuff, the Federal Reserve some other stuff, then some legislation will be passed and things will stabilize at some point.

Now if any other country tried crap like that, they would join Venezuela.

But the US works. Until it does not. Whenever that happens.

Id be more worried about your backyard.

"An unusually sharp dip in oil prices over the weekend has left Norway’s already-weakened currency at its *lowest-ever* value compared to the euro."

Child services. I was sure you were familiar with the organization.

Barnevernet has been overzealous on occassion. The woman should use the system to contest the basis for the service's decision.

Corporal punishment is illegal here and you will lose your children if you hit them.

So perhaps that is the issue. Protip: Don't hit children in Norway.

” Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

It’ll be interesting to see which side Trump is on. Saudi Barbarias or on the Russians side.

I think now is a good time for the world to come together and nuke the Saudis. They shouldn’t be allowed to dump the prize of oil in this manner and hurt the world economy. It’s economical terrorism.

We are kinda dependent on oil too, and we are also affected by ups and downs in the global world economy.

Yes, the oil is in Saudi Barbaria. But they are also terrorists.

I focus my ”anger” at the Saudis for the moment.

The assassination of Suleimani predicted by Nostradamus, now corona a modern day pestilence. The seals of the apocalypse have broken one after the other and 2020 is the rise of the anti-christ, Biden.

I foresaw this in the flames while burning trash. Its how I make stars, pure recycling. I burn my trash in the fire place so I dont have to cut down trees ( very green) and the smoke collects in space to make stars like the sun. Then we get solar power and bam now we don't even need oil anymore.


And by trash I mean Jews.Deep down I'm really an enviromemtalist.
