Stock Market Trading Halted Again

[Slade3200]

Trading was open for 5 minutes then halted because of large losses again.

We are halted at 21,856.91 with a loss of 1696.31.

trump isn't taking the proper action to calm the markets.

That ridiculous speech he gave last night only made things worse. Again.

The Dow and S&P are now in bear market.


S&P 500 drops more than 6% at the open, joins the Dow in bear market territory

What would be the proper action to calm the markets?

First of all stop lying.

Second solve the testing problem.

Third, stop talking about bailing out big business and address the real needs for most Americans faced with possible financial destruction from not working. A payroll tax cut won't help anyone who isn't working. All it will do is put more money in the hands of those who don't need it and remove needed revenues. Why do conservatives believe that the solution to everything is tax cuts? It's not. Especially not for the rich.

Fourth, get insurance companies to pay for more than just the testing. Get the insurance companies to pay for treatment of the virus. Some are going to end up in the hospital. That's expensive.

Fifth work on making sure there's enough beds, respirators and all necessary medical equipment and facilities available.

Sixth, do something about the homeless population. If it gets in the homeless population it will get much, much worse since they don't have a place to go to quarantine themselves.

Seventh, pass paid sick leave. Those who can't go to work because of the virus can be financially destroyed. They can lose their homes because they can't pay rent. They will go to work because they can't lose their homes which will spread the virus more.

That's just some of the things he can do but has not done.

Trading has restarted again. It didn't do anything to stop the bleeding. The dow is down over 1900 points.

The dow was around 20 thousand when trump took office. Which means just about all the gains from the trump years are gone.

Solve the testing? It was the brown turd Oblummer who chased all manufacturing over to China. Wuhan let it go, because it would damage the world, with its NWO depopulating plan. Just President Trump jumped on the problem from the first and put out travel bans, now China is doing what it can to not lose its population, but fuck Europe who has plenty of people going into there from all over. Dickheads like you are the problem for what we have today, by electing that turd and keeping him in office till China could get away with murder, thus making you and accessory to murder.

South Korea is testing the same amount of people a day than we have tested total in the US. Does that sound right to you?

It’s a problem... a non Partisan problem

I think it's because they're a smaller country and testing takes the same amount of time that it takes us.

Huh? I’m not following that logic can you explain?

 

[Slade3200]

Oh , I have $20,000 right now waiting till the bottom hits, then I am going to make tons of money when it rebounds.

thats wonderful. Those with a lot of extra money will surely capitalize off the crash and rebound. Those who just lost a quarter of their savings may not have that luxury. The money comes from from somewhere and it’s not the rich who will be feeling the brunt of the pain

I did the same thing back in 2008 when Nancy Pelosi and the Demoncraps crashed the housing market. Took $40,000 bought into CMG and made 1/4 million dollars on that deal.

Good for you. But like I said... it’s not those with extra money to invest who get hurt by times like these.

It’s a problem... a non Partisan problem

We should not just be testing people randomly. That creates panic.

IF......IF! you think you have been exposed, then get tested.

Because the lord knows, if your healthy and young, you're not going to get anything more than a sniffle from this.

A young person with a sniffle can give a death hug to their grandparents. You get that right?

And your wrong about testing... getting tested quickly and easily can calm fears and identify those who need to be treated. I promise you a ton of people out there with a cough or allergy attack are getting very worried about the what if’s.

The test then becomes worthless after because a person can get infected 30 seconds after the test is administered. That's why blanket testing is worse than doing nothing.

Truth and unity

Meaningless buzzwords.

Haha, I’m sure that’s true for a person like yourself. But in the past we came together as a people during tragedy and we did so because there was some sense of trust in each other. That’s pretty much gone now and that’s a major problem

And who's fault is that?

It’s everybody’s fault... but if there’s in person with the power to change the tides it’s POTUS but unfortunately he is the worst of the trolls. He propagates the problems not alleviates

A young person who has never been near anyone with corona can give a grandparent a death hug. The flu, like the corvid19, can kill the elderly.

People are getting worried because the media and people like you are intentionally creating a panic.

are you high? You just said a young healthy person with the coronavirus isn’t going to feel anything more than a sniffle. Such an ignorant statement... that person would in fact be able to pass the virus on to others.

 

[Indeependent]

This is what is to be expected when you have a senile old man leading the nation who inspires no confidence. The markets have no faith that this prevaricator and incompetent oaf can do the right thing or take the right action. The idiot can not keep on message and his Administration looks like it is in chaos.

What does Trump have to do with Russia vs OPEC?

Nothing....

Good...so you realize the drop in oil driving the market down has nothing to do with Trump.
Oil speculators would drop all their oil stock if they could.

I disagree. If somebody feels sick they should get tested and that process should be quick and easy

If they feel sick. And the problem is a "sniffle" can be due to allergies, especially this time of year. Then you have to worry about not only the number of tests availible, but the number of people able to administer them.

I specifically said that a child who had no exposure to corvid-19 but who had the sniffles could still give their grandparents a "death hug " <--your words --by having any number of other inflictions, such as the flu which is very deadly to the elderly.

YOU are spreading fear for no good reason other than to attack a President you don't like.

CNN is propagating the problem, look at my thread on it.

At this point, no I don’t think so. 3 years ago, yes absolutely he could have done something. He could have reframed from the insults, lies, cyber trolling, calling the media the enemy of the people and pushing his divisive rhetoric to make the American people more divided that ever.

And the media could have given him a fair chance, and the Dems could have accepted the election results and bided their time until 2020. They couldn't.

Sorry, but after a decade of being punished for just not being a progressive, I am done trying to be the good guy. Trump fights the same way they do.

“IF! you think you have been exposed, then get tested.

Now were you or were you not talking about a young healthy person getting a sniffle from THIS. This being the coronavirus?

Yes, and people with critical thinking skills will infer that the child will recover from the corvid-19 virus. Once the child has recovered, they are no longer contagious, are they?

Yet it still remains, that outside of the panic that is being deliberately foisted on America with inflammatory statements like, "a death hug" there are other illnesses out there that ARE killing us.

In fact, the H1N1 was much worse than this corvid-19, yet we managed to get through it without panic. Oh, wait, that was a different President then, one that the frothing masses liked.

Probably because we centralize our testing via the CDC, and the federal nature of our system where health issues are a local matter by statute.

Also, getting anything approved in our system via the FDA has always been longer than outside the US.

gee, I wonder why the “disgusting lying corrupt enemy of the people” aren’t giving him a fair shake. See Marty that’s what happens when you shit all over people, they tend to not be nice to you.

And your wrong about testing... getting tested quickly and easily can calm fears and identify those who need to be treated. I promise you a ton of people out there with a cough or allergy attack are getting very worried about the what if’s.

The test then becomes worthless after because a person can get infected 30 seconds after the test is administered. That's why blanket testing is worse than doing nothing.

I disagree. If somebody feels sick they should get tested and that process should be quick and easy

If they feel sick. And the problem is a "sniffle" can be due to allergies, especially this time of year. Then you have to worry about not only the number of tests availible, but the number of people able to administer them.

Back to my original critique. How is South Korea testing 10k a day while we’ve done 10k total? And why does it take 4 days in some cases

Probably because we centralize our testing via the CDC, and the federal nature of our system where health issues are a local matter by statute.

Also, getting anything approved in our system via the FDA has always been longer than outside the US.

Perhaps, but there is extraordinary power that the executive holds in emergency situations... this is where more responsible moves could have been made to prepare for this
