Cramer had a good explanation for the drop...everyone is on the same “analytical system”...It was an interesting article.

Just think where the markets would be if we had a media that did not run everything through their anti American agenda before printing. The msm is entirely about talking down the economy in the best period of prosperity in decades. The exact opposite of what they did under obama and the study decline of America. Hell, they made is sound like a good thing.

I warned years ago that the stock market is highly vulnerable to even a scrap of news on Twitter and Facebook. The stock market needs major reform, especially limits on high-speed trading.

I find it frustrating that the narrative is that tariffs are bad. Tariffs aren’t bad. We had high tariffs for the first 180 years of our country.

Trade is good, when it’s balanced over the amount of goods, or when you are at full employment and need extra labor, and when it doesn’t make you dependent on the foreign countries.

Trade with countries that have excess labor that result in a trade deficit results in even higher unemployment in the high wage country and the transfer of industries to the low wage country.

> Cramer had a good explanation for the drop... <

No offense meant, but Cramer is great for explaining things that have already happened. As for making predictions for the future...he’s not so good. As you can tell, I’m not a fan.

Oh, and then there’s Leonard the Wonder Monkey. Leonard was a (pretend) monkey who made random stock picks. Leonard beat Cramer consistently, although usually not by much. Cramer sued Leonard’s creator, and got him to stop the comparisons.

But I do admire Cramer, in a way. Like Joel Osteen, Cramer has made a great living out of being a flashy presenter.

(Again, sorry for the rant. No offense meant to you.)

Computer generated Trading ought to be outlawed. Humans would not have dropped the market 800 points the other day.
