A good thing. Stocks were way too hot. Who wants the correction to come right before midterm election?

I think China is unwinding globally, will revalue their Yuan upward, then they will reinvest all of that money.

Which will then, be worth more than they pulled out of every market, around the globe.

But that is just my hunch. NOTHING whatsoever, to base that on. :D

Maybe to you.

Further losses wouldn't surprise me, to weed out the snowflakes. But even hoards of lefties trying to scare Pres. Trump and the Market will lose to the strength of the economy. Barkie is the dead cat.

Everyone will want to wait until it finds a bottom before they buy back in. Deflationary spiral time.

People will read all of the lies as to why the markets turned down sharply. It’s all lies. Here is a probable real reason: The Democrats pulled every string possible to manipulate our markets down for leverage in dealing with Trump on the budget deal coming up Feb. 8. Guess the pundits all conveniently forgot about that.

I don't doubt that leftists are manipulating the Market, how does that translate to budget leverage?

Think so? Seems pretty far out from the midterm (much less Pres. Trump) elections to try a play like that.

I think there is some manipulation going on as well, possibly to hurt Trump.
