That is what happens when you don't listen and use your comman sense.

Easy does it should have been implemented instead of the rush to reopen.

The political manipulations aren't even vague anymore.

Not sure why investors haven’t been worried with the global economic and social unrest. I guess only time will tell but Mr. Buffett saying he doesn’t know if he has enough cash makes me think this is worse than I can imagine or there is more buying opportunities in the future.

There is no outbreak nor a 'spike'. Based upon data from Johns Hopkins (7-day rolling avg.) on test results: May 1: % positive rate = 11.5% May 15: % positive rate = 7% June 1: % positive rate = 5.2% June 12: % positive rate = 4.6%

Short term market gains do not reflect earnings but daily gambling on Market volatility (computer trading) Stock buybacks ($2 trillion) paid for with tax cut borrowed money increased share value w/o growth and earnings valuations. All that borrowed money is lost!wallstreet

it is already a reality. Second rising wave. Imminent closure in the economies of China and the US. Better to tell the truth, the economy will be damaged again, but it is rebuilt with living people and families. Close now, otherwise it will be a second worst fall.

Wonder who is pushing that narrative? As 800,000 request tickets to a Trump rally, screams of a second wave and more possible lockdowns. The people see through it yet stock market cannot?

It’s not holding anything because nobody is listening to these idiots anymore

Surely priced in? The market can’t be so dumb not to expect another outbreak in autumn? ... let’s see COVID19

Wait so the DOW futures predicts how quickly we will recover? Hence “futures” I thought it was disconnected from reality?

Strange photo. I don't think the Dow fell on fears of a rise in cases in China... What are you trying to say?

Translation: the Fed hasn’t been printing money fast enough to keep up with all of Wall Streets looting

trumpy making America just so fucking GREAT!

China fucked the economy, holiday plans and everything.

False flag, just like the 1st time.
