Where is Soros?

All I can say is if you’re a long term investor then these are good times.

It means money is coming out of the companies because they are too indebted.

Can someone kindly explain why futures are stuck/stopped? I know they opened and went limit down. But do they resume trading tonight or is futures market halted until cash opening? Thank you 🙏🏻

Shutdown the market and stop the bleeding.

Interesting that we have down limits, circuit breakers for down markets so why aren't there the same for rising futures and stocks. Makes it seem as though it's all rigged. 🤔

They should close stock market for eight week realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr

Trump praising himself for Friday's market bounce of 9%, but fails to mention that Thursday was the largest point drop in history (he takes no blame for). His bullying of the Feds fails.

whoa, level 3 would make me a very very very wealthy man

Yep, a surprise full point rate cut on a Sunday definitely reassures the markets.

Shut down the market! HURRY!!!!

Lowering interest rates can not kill the coronavirus, but it may increase food and drug prices. It could be even worse. Fluctuations in stock prices leave the market to decide. People have only once life, the Fed needs to focus more on saving lives. COVID19 coronavirususa

Should add “thanks for playing”

johnscharts omg omg crash crash spx 0

But really, why not close markets for a few weeks?

johnscharts It means bitcoin is king, ditch the faux markets

It means we are fucked. The bankruptcy of America is here. The liquidation has begun. That is why Trump was installed. The Bankruptcy King.

My 14-year old niece knows these limits now.

Someone get that signed 'record stock market rise' from Friday & ship it to the Smithsonian ... that there's gonna be famous in our grandkid's school books.

All media outlets should be advocating for strict regulation of HST's, also referred to as Algos. The severe volatility & lightening fast 8,000 pt drop that has wiped out 401K's, retirement plans & portfolios is nothing more than organized Wall Street theft of $Trillions.

So 0.25% Fed rate not seen as positive?

This didn’t age well. GD we have an absolute clown running the country. He was literally sending autographed copies of Friday’s stock market chart out as if he’s solved the crisis. Unreal.

No Biden bounce? Lol

trump needs to resign. Now!

Buy Walmart.

Why are you broadcasting one audio channel (left only)? Fire your control room.

If Trump gets a second term, by the end of that the Fed will be buying junk bonds and penny stocks to keep the party going.

They shut down Futures?! Yikes. This isn’t a rollercoaster it’s an earthquake 😦

How many trillions is the fed going to burn to understand the lesson. This is a biological crisis not a financial crisis. The market reacted positively on Friday bc those measures could have a biological impact.... this is the only thing you are doing...

Opportunities...

It means tomorrow's gonna be another sh*t show....

Trumps in full break everything mode

🤡

Fed just yoloing away every possible move as if it can stop a virus.

I'm confused on the FUTURES limit down. Could you please explain that for the novice. Thank you.
