Could the stock market tank if a debt deal isn't done by the deadline?

If neither side blinks and somehow a deal isn't done on time, what are the broader ramifications of that? Will the markets tank? Could we go into another recession? Could it affect the global economy?

Could it? Of course.

Will it? Only if the petulant child instructs the Secretary of the Treasury to NOT service US debt with existing revenues.

Market is up now that Moody's has come out and said that the US will not default on creditors and our rating will not be downgraded.

I sure hope so. I'm getting tired of holding all this cash in my brokerage accounts.

I think he's interested in scooping up some investments on the cheap.

Same way in 2008, if you have the cash when the market tanks itself to inject, it'll pay off greatly in the long run.

You're welcome.

We both more than doubled on what we bought within 4 years.
