Yes. Ideally, this should make clearer the distinction between speculation (what’s been driving markets worldwide) and investment.

I’d hazard a guess he is not much of a reader in general… maybe a magazine if it’s by the shitter and he is constipated.

The frightening thing about all of this is that, if worse comes to worse and we slide into another recession, we have a GOP-controlled congress that is both too lazy, physically and intellectually, and ideologically incapable of remedial action.

True. Their answer will be “CUT SPENDING”, “SPEND MORE ON THE MILITARY”, and “SLASH GOVERNMENT PAYROLLS”.

As I have long stated, we are so tied in with China and Asia that their markets are now taking the U.S. market down. Get smart U.S.A.
Um, that’s kind of what can happen in a global market where different nation states buy each other products and services. Fool!

“Get Smart?” Wasn’t that a TV show about a bumbling secret agent on NBC and CBS back in the day? Mel Brooks should sue Trump for trademark infringement!

Well, one good thing seems obvious, thankfully the country didn’t listen to Republicans and allow them to get away with privatizing our Social Security, allowing them to invest those guaranteed accounts to the whims of Wall Street. Every time the market like this takes a deep dip…I’m reminded how batshit crazy their ideas have always been.
If the country ever elects one of those free-market Ayn Rand know-nothings today, you can be sure we’d be right back at square one, with them still trying to turn your pension into a 401K, and your Social Security into a privatized account for some asshole on Wall Street to play with for a ridiculous fee.
No matter how far the market tanks today, tomorrow, or whenever…Republicans will never give up on the idea of turning over the government’s collected tax revenues and guaranteed benefits to those malefactors of great wealth. That’s their ultimate goal.
Even today Republicans are against creating a wall between the big banks investment arms and risks to your own personal bank deposits. Even with a massive housing bubble, a collapse due to shady slicing and dicing of mortgage-backed securities, the decision to bail out the banks, and the greatest Recession since the Great Depression, the GOP refuses to reinstate Glass/Steagall. So spare me. If anyone’s losing their shirt, which I really doubt, it’s not the small investor…and their concern has never been for the average investor anyway…It’s for the Rmoneys, the Kochs, the tRumps, the Adelsons, the Bloombergs, and onwards down the line…
Whenever I hear any of these Republican assholes talk about Wall Street in relation to the economy, I just want to role my eyes and laugh at their gall. Not only don’t they know where the real problem lies, but they don’t even seem to know how we got where we are. They’re just incredulous.
Oh, and fuck Donnie Dipstick. I think he’s starting to show that he’s running low on phony outrage.

All the markets are connected, as business is connected. I am not the biggest fan of the stock market but it is not as simple as this. If he wants to pull out of various things as a platform than he would be painted anti-business and isolationist.

The huge drop today is clearly Obama’s fault.
What about the 10,000+ point rise in the Dow after Obama took office? There are too many variables involved to draw any conclusions about that.

Oddly enough, gold isn’t moving much today. It’s currently down about a quarter of one percent.

He screams about how China is kicking our ass and we are not getting good enough deals with China all year long, now we have too many deals with China and the Chinese are losers.
The man is so goofy he doesn’t know what opposite and ignorant opinion is going to fly out from under his toupee next.

The GOP front runner, a multi billionaire, is calling for closing the “carried interest” loophole?? Raising taxes on the rich??
He is going to give Grover a really big sad.

Trust me, Dixie Cups and Brawny paper towels will still cost about the same if not more, if Wall Street drops several thousand points. If a billionaire’s personal wealth and stock portfolio is a teeny bit smaller because of the drop, the only ones that will notice it are not you and me. Nope. I’m not gonna lose sleep over this bullshit…that’s for sure.

It’s a good reason for creating a tax on high-speed trading.
