Besides, the fatter the Dow gets, the higher the numbers for little corrections. It’s no big deal, unless many crazy people believe that it is.

I believe that 666 was also the low that the S&P Imdex hit in March of 2009 during the financial crisi

These drops and rises should be rated in percent.

IIRC, this slide is caused in part by turmoil in the bond markets. It seems that investors want a higher yield from U.S. treasuries, which is good, IMO. It’s about time that our deficit-mongering, govern-MENTAL politicians were called out like this on their big-spending, profligate, sinful ways.

I think the deep state is trying to send a message....

Just another coincidence. Nothing to see here.

And it may not have anything to do with politics. It may just be a minor tremor from an overly zealous stock market and a stronger economy with the consequence of soon to be rising interest rates. In other words...putting in the clutch petal to shift from 2nd gear to 3rd gear.

I always thought McCain was a loser in his own right. Didn't need much warning or motivation from the deep state.

McCain did not need to be brought to heel.
He’s a natural born heel.

That’s a lot of selling if so. What sold the most?

Nay.........if even ‘a light breeze’ passes the market it quivers, todays news was like a ‘wind storm’ until it so this was anticipated. It’ll rise again.
