Always the Dems fault per TD. It couldn't be because there were some ridiculous stipulations that both idiotic sides of the aisle are trying to slip through. Naw

This is not strictly true. It is from the impatient to the patient. But, close.

This is the Warren Buffet thing (frankly, I think my first quote is Buffet, too) - When everyone else is bold, be fearful. When everyone else is fearful, be bold.

Yea I'm not in any way calling this the bottom, or that we're near the bottom, but holy shite the saying about be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful might be in full effect right now.

People are scared shitless. They may be right but there are people claiming we're going to lose roughly 25% THIS WEEK. THAT IS FEARFUL. Those with cash ready to go on the sidelines will alter the course of their lives due to this event.

Its kinda killing me that this event is happening early in my career with less disposable income. I’m still throwing a high % of paychecks into the market but I wish I could do more.

She'd rather see the US in Depression than risk giving Trump a win.

At this stage, Pelosi couldn't care less about America, its citizens, our economy, or our future. Her sole care is her personal hatred of Trump, and her ability to act upon it.

I don't know that we've seen an individual at this level putting personal interests ahead of the country since Burr tried to wrest the Presidency from Jefferson.

She just yanked the bottom out of the markets.

I've got a solid chunk of change that was meant for a reno that logistically had to be completed "now" or we don't want to do it. So now that it looks like we could be months away from a possible start date, that cash has opened up for us. Might be a sign lol

Asian markets and Dow futures drop as US Congress fails to move forward on coronavirus bill
By Laura He and Clare Duffy, CNN Business
11:31 PM ET, Sun March 22, 2020


New York (CNN Business) Asian markets and US stock futures fell on Monday as a massive stimulus package to help Americans handle the coronavirus pandemic hit a major stumbling block.

Dow (INDU) futures fell more than 900 points, hitting a 5% decline that triggered a maximum allowable limit, or "limit down." That halted futures from falling further.
S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq (COMP) futures also fell around 5%, and were last down 4.8% and 4.4%, respectively.

Senate Democrats blocked movement on an economic stimulus package, citing 'serious issues' with the bill. That injected fresh uncertainty over whether and when lawmakers will reach a bipartisan deal to deliver relief amid the pandemic.

In Asia Pacific, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 plunged more than 7% Monday while South Korea's Kospi (KOSPI) dropped 5%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index (HSI) fell 4% while China's Shanghai Composite (SHCOMP) lost more than 2%.
