Markets were totally calm. Then stocks fell off a cliff

Coronavirus escalations distract from strong economic data

You really do hate the United States don't you CNN... -128.5. is the real number. It will go back up tomorrow stupid...

djmincey11 Is the market being manipulated? I just don't know what to believe anymore.

realdonaldtrump Here comes your TRILLIONS in tax cuts to the wealthy starting a recession B/C of the HUGE deficit it caused. trump wants to cut SS & Medicare to help pay for this. Robbing the poor & giving to the rich is the Republican way.

So orange turd isn't gonna take responsibility for this? He sure does like to brag when the market does good and takes credit.

.Closer the elections get more negative things are likely to happen in USA. Trump is the second person to have won against the wishes of the establishment, after Kennedy. Let us see who wins this time; establishment or peoples choice

I’m sorry, but this is so poorly written. Why isn’t there a date listed in the first paragraph? Do you expect all members of your audience to read minds?

The rich think they'll farrows, pit it in a pyramid along with the servants and they will have the money and servants in the afterlife ask Trump he thinks so.

Wait until Bernie is elected for the REAL stock bloodbath

Whoa,,,,,we all give a fuck,,,,,NOT!!

Why?
