A stock market collapse combined with Obama’s weak socialist economy, sage stagnation, no significant new private sector job formation, health care costs thru the roof -

I’d say Mickey Mouse could beat Hillary.

I don’t disagree that’s why I said might. I don’t kid myself that Obama is just incompetent, incompetents don’t bat 1000 at best they bat 500, Obama bats 1000.

“US stock market authorities have been forced to suspend the futures market on the Nasdaq index.

Panicking traders have driven it down 5% - the maximum allowed under Wall Street rules before a circuit-breaker is triggered.”

A good time to buy....shorts.

I would imagine that there will be a massive QE move, but this can only give a temporary lift.

Retail, entertainment, airlines, any business that relies on discretionary will take the biggest hits.

Would have been a week or so ago. After the institutional plays drop the market today, your order will already be bought at a suppressed level.

I think DJ is halted on a 7.5% S & P index drop on circuit breaker rules. Haven’t checked charts, but I doubt we’re there yet.
