If the DOW tanks another 1000 points on Monday....

All the gains from 2019 will also be wiped out. But...I see the JACKASS in Chief is going on TV in about an hour to no doubt try and walk back his Corona virus HOAX statement from his rally in SC.

No doubt his campaign handlers told his azzzz to get in front of a camera ASAP to try and roll back that BS statement. Otherwise he'd be out golfing.

why does his team think this performance will be any different?

On a personal note, I've lost enough money so far. He needs to shut up.

Is walk back his order to Republicans to vote for the weakest candidate. The man is so brazen he does not even bother to hide it.

That is against the law in my state. We embarrassed them, made them sign a statement that they switched parties. Of course we had decent Republicans working at the polls.

hasn't really hit our shores yet, or that we've only seen the beginning.

And rump is more concerned about stock market numbers...hmm.

Can't walk back 'stupid'. Maybe he got it mixed up that his election was a hoax vs. CV?

Idiot, and like you say, jacka&&.

some companies will go bust and people will get laid off and then it could snowball.

The phase after that is another tax-payer funded bailout for Wall Street.

Let's hope COVID-19 turns out to be not as bad as worst case scenarios are making it out to be for the sake of all.

I'm guessing it was Ike.

Back then, the tax rate for the rich was 90% or higher and we invested in the Interstate Highway system. Remember infrastructure? Great job creator that paid more than 12 hours a week at McDonald's.

His dumbass comments are one of the main reasons the stock market is tanking, as they realize we may have an actual crisis for once and having a moronic TV reality show host ain't the best person to be in charge.

It have been around the 25k range before this virus, with the correction it should be down to 22.5k and see what happens from there.
