It’s remarkable how people that are trashing Trump forget how terrible the economy was after the Great Recession. The stock market was under 20,000. Obama was a wet blanket on any growth. Trump’s policies ushered in a period of record setting growth that Biden rode for his 4 years.

Layoffs Monday?

Mass layoffs?

Alexa, what typically happens to the value of a stock for a company who recently announced significant staffing cuts?

Gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette


Blame the media fear mongering and hedge funds for this. They want pressure on Trump to go back to status quo

misleading, percentage wise it's not the largest.

I really wish people were not so ignorant of this subject. In the stock market you have neither gained or lost anything until you sell. If you hold a position in the stock, when it goes up you have not made any money and when it's down you have not lost any money. Now if you choose to exit that position when it's lower than you got in, then you have lost, and vice versa. You still own that position, so just dont piss your pants every time it fluctuates and its going to be back up before you know it. It's every time, didn't know why this seems to surprise people every time. Market goes up and down, and when it goes down due to panic like this is, it usually goes back up just as fast.. It's literally only people who were looking to retire at this exact moment that need to worry about anything and maybe postpone a bit, and if they are getting competent financial advice they would have been in a process of transitioning into income generating investments instead of stocks anyway the closer they get to retirement.

Since Jan. 17, the Friday before Inauguration Day, the U.S. stock market has seen $9.6 trillion in value erased, according to data from FactSet and Dow Jones Market Data. Of those losses, $5 trillion has been erased just over the past two days -- the largest two-day loss on record.


State these losses in percentage terms. Almost certainly not the largest two day loss period in history.

I'm old enough to remember when Paul Krugman reacted to a drop after Trump got elected the first time by saying............it would NEVER recover.

LOL.

These frickers never learn.

Lets talk in 6 months.....you will be saying the opposite, IMO!

The stock market is not the only measuring stick. Good paying jobs, energy costs, safe borders, and so on.....

Its not real money. Its not real value. Besides, it will all be back in a month. The market is reacting as expected.
