At this level, those swings are not that crazy. In numbers, yes. In percentage, no.

After two huge sell-offs in a row, U.S. stocks are all over the map on Tuesday. Investors blamed the wild moves on a combination of interest-rate fears, computer-driven trading and the obscure volatility funds that use leverage.

But the media told us it was caused by President Trump's tax cut......

And SpaceX soared into space today;) Everything’s looking UP!

SpaceX has had a very good first test of its Falcon Heavy rocket, the heavy-lift orbital vehicle that can carry twice the weight of its closest competition in active operation. The massive, three-booster rocket took off from Cape Canaveral in Florida as planned on Tuesday at 1:30 PM EST, lifting off from Kennedy Space Center’s LC-39A.

Totally manipulated Freepers.

It’s no way most investors change their minds that quick. Total B.S. by the Central Banks.

I guess we’re back to thanking Obama?

CNN: “The markets were down earlier, in light of Trump policy, but they closed up in light of Obama policy. Now on to celebrity news . . . .”

Trump’s fault.

The dip was probably Soros wanting to get in on some low prices.

Going to keep an eye on this. Last time the market tanked there was a lot of volatility, several days of big swings, down 300 then up 350 then down 350 then up 300. Like market was fighting itself but momentum was down. The bears ultimately won but not before I moved lots of my money from stocks to bonds and preserved just about all of it when the market tanked. Then after it tanked I move it back to stocks, bought the it back cheap. This is starting to resembe that; correction coming?

HFT, and the “yo-yo” effect. Wild swings until the feedback loop stabiizes. HFT algorithms react much faster than any human can.

They are busy nailing the windows of the DNC shut to keep the evil donkeys from jumping out of them.
