That's reminding a lot of people of 2008 and the Great Recession. Those were scary times. But to me, the plunge that has accompanied the coronavirus outbreak is bringing back memories of another crisis -- the immediate aftermath of 9/11.The stock market was closed for several days following 9/11. Once it reopened on September 17, there was a lot of fear about what was next for corporate America and the economy. The S&P 500 fell as much as 13.
Kevin Hassett: April job losses could be worst ever 02:04Just like in 2001, it will take time before the worst is over. But unlike 2008, this is not something that, at its root, is a financial problem. Or at least, not yet.Lower interest rates, bailouts or tax breaks won't help if people are afraid to leave their homes and businesses suffer major drops in demand.We will all need to be patient and hunker down. This will eventually end, and life will return to something resembling normal.
LaMonicaBuzz Yeah 2008 showed us only a example of that. After the American ppl lost their livelihoods
LaMonicaBuzz And the poor will suffer the most again!
LaMonicaBuzz Thank you for being the one voice of calm and reason on CNN. Everything else I read on CNN is hysteria and panic over anything
LaMonicaBuzz This is irresponsible, uninformed reporting
LaMonicaBuzz At least Merrill Lynch wont be fucking me like they did in 2001. Everytime I ask my advisor to move my money out of the markets he'd respond with some cliche' like ' You see the glass as half empty while I see it as half full'. And wouldnt move anything. After huge losses I 👇
LaMonicaBuzz Step 1: pour as much gasoline on fire as possible to build hysteria. Step 2: write article telling us it will be ok after goal reached with stock market down 30%. CNN CAN EAT A BIG BAG OF DICKS
LaMonicaBuzz Look the reason people are clearly the shelves is due to all this talk about hunkering down. That needs to stop it the stores are going to be able to restock. Hunkering down causes panicking. Stop!!!
LaMonicaBuzz
LaMonicaBuzz Let's re-build an economic foundation from the bottom up instead of the upper 1% controlling everything at the peril of the working class! The public DEMAND dynamic change!
LaMonicaBuzz An opinion? Wow, that was brilliant lol It's all I have heard all day so this guy gets a column? Fake news isn't enough I guess, so now it's just what everyone else is saying, and I mean everyone said the same exact things. You all know it yet likes are flying in, lol
LaMonicaBuzz Going back to 'normal' is what worries me. Normal got us here. No healthcare, corporations controlling the world, billionaires deciding who lives and who dies.
LaMonicaBuzz Lots of bots on this thread. Putin must have gone all out because of the election.
LaMonicaBuzz Normal for us minnions
LaMonicaBuzz Trump closed the Pandemic offices and this Coronavirus caught the US unprepared, slow to react. Remember when the Government were trying to relocate the USDA, just to force all the Scientists to quit? I wonder what famine will catch the US unprepared causing millions to die.
