Now do it expressed as a percentage of the market overall.

Sorry. Would such mathematical analysis be too taxing?

Blockchain, anyone?

One thing Trump can say is that his losses haven't reached the Great Depression or the Great Recession percentages yet.

 

[coati]

So, how is everyone's 401K doing? Well, no worries, the Fed is likely to print more money and incur more "debt".

If your plane loses sufficient airspeed to maintain flight, you can always aim the nose down toward the ground to regain speed, just like we did in 2008. Why, the impeached President was on TV just yesterday, instilling us with confidence as he bad-mouthed the Fed. He's a stable genius who knows how to game the bankruptcy laws, so this will work out great for America. Right? Tax cuts, right? More corporate socialism, er, I mean bailouts, right?

And how many times can we aim the plane toward the ground? I don't know, but out here in the boondocks, the roosters are crowing and another day of work outdoors awaits.

He can also say this was the fastest market correction in history.

Fortunately, I can't say I feel stupid about my investments right now. The value of the food and energy that my neighbors and I produce might have even increased during the last week.

There is an upside to investing in real goods and in local economic development. Less transportation cost, less dependency on the house of cards, more freedom, more exercise, more social interaction, more fun. We had quite a campfire gathering last night.

People around here are not so stupid to think that the stock market equals the economy and that you can have infinite growth on a finite planet.

Spoken like a capitalist pig.

So why do you support politicians and political ideology that will bring all that investing and production to a screeching stop right??

No. Trumplitards believe that when the DOW increases, that somehow that correlates to their Wal-Mart pay increases.

If "the economy" isn't the stock market. AND, if those supposed WalMart wages aren't affected by the stock market, then all those companies which are publicly held, you know JUST LIKE WALMART, aren't dependent on the stock market for capital. Capital which they use to pay those supposed wages you mentioned.

So, if the market does well, the companies do well. When companies do well they tend to HIRE PEOPLE AND PAY THEM. Conversely, when the market doesn't do well, companies tend to lay off workers.

And somehow I get the impression that you're GLAD the market dipped this past week because you can blame Trump for it.

when was the last time a wall street company poured their earnings back into employee development?

Yea didn't think so.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

If anyone has that impression, it's because the Stable Genius says it EVERY DAY.

It's your Prez who has equated "the economy" to "the stock market" since day one. He yells about it at every rally.

If it falls, no matter what we may think about it, it reflects badly on HIS narrative.

Yet somehow I get the the impression that you believe the Stock Market somehow IS the economy and it's all Trump's fault that it had a major correction this past week.
