The Dow dropped 264 points for a loss of 1%, the S&P 500 shed 0.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite was flat.

I just want to say thank you to Chase for waving my overdraft fees,it means alot because in this difficult times for Families,all dollars Count. Chase My Family and I are grateful and God Y'all Chase . Thank You.

Well yeah, Everything is closed and millions of people are out of work. And those like me who are still working are saving as much as possible in case this whole thing goes tits up.

OPEN THE ECONOMY!!!

This comes as no surprise as another week of record unemployment and the US/Global economies crater.

😷

Well, DUH!! There's no place open to spend it, dodo!

Does this mean that people are saving 5.5% more of their income now? That has to at least be good news for personal finances.

Hope this will end soon and life being back to normal
