Make your prediction on Friday's stock market here

[garybeck]

I'll start. Dow down 500.
Probably more.

[Baclava]

1. Huge slide, Dow futures down 500, Nasdaq 200 right now, let's call it an even 1000 tomorrow

[yonder]

2. Down 1000 or more.

[greenjar_01]

3. Down early, even close

[TeamPooka]

4. Dow closes down 800 after dipping down 1300 early in the day is my specific prediction

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

5. Up.

Why people here are always jonesing for the market to drop makes no sense to me. And in reality, Trump being tested positive is good news for the market.

[Boomerproud]

14. Read post #7.

He may have abandoned NY but he is their god.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. However, I've also read stuff about sensible investors

who are VERY supportive of Biden. And not at all supportive of Trump.

Keep in mind that if Biden wins the election, there will be a slow but steady improvement in the fundamentals of our economy. Which will give a huge boost to the Dow. We are seeing hints of that already.

17. this is why

people want the stock market to drop before the election because that hurts trump. I've heard TONS of people say, "yeah i don't like his personality but the economy is doing great. look at the stock market"

and the reason it will go down today is simply because of uncertainty.

6. European markets are down a little, but nothing you might not have seen on other days

eg London down about 0.8%. So it's not seen as world-changing.

[BainsBane]

7. Those motherfuckers love Trump

It's all about their tax breaks and sucking money from working people. The market will drop significantly.

[tandem5]

8. -1583.89

[Rice4VP]

9. Down 1,500-2,000 because there are

also thousands of airline layoffs today. Plus, the unemployment number is supposed to be not that great

[AngryOldDem]

12. Forgot about that...

Could be a bloodbath today.

[regnaD kciN]

13. In which case...

...watch the Republicans claim that it's all due to the market's fear that Trump may not continue to be president.

[Hortensis]

10. :) Hmmm. Down 1100, rebounding to down 200 at close.

[AngryOldDem]

11. -1,000, maybe more briefly.

Presidential health concerns and the Dow don’t play well with each other.

It will depend on what’s known at the open. Will the circuit breakers trip? Who knows.

EDIT: Futures down -329 as of 4:30 EDT.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

16. Don't look at the numbers, look at the percentages.

The Dow closed at 27,819 on Oct 1.

A drop of 2,000 would be something like 7%. Big whoop. And honestly, I'll be quite shocked if the Dow drops anywhere near that amount.

Again, I'll comment that people here are constantly jonesing for a huge drop in the stock market. Apparently none of them have any money in the market, don't have a 401k or a Roth or any kind of pension plan invested in the stock market. Which makes me wonder if they have any money saved or invested at all. Hmmm.

18. Down between the dismal economic news, layoff announcements, no stimulus, with

an infected president and an exposed vice president....down and down.
