It is starting to look like the ContraV Crash wasn't all due to ContraV - the SC voting results indicted that Bernie could be the winner of the Primaries. And that possibility puts Trump vs Bernie in Nov 2020. Socialism is not a good thing for investors and business people. For three years you’ve given trump credit for a rising stock market. You’ve ignored the fact that he inherited a healthy economy. Now the market tanks and it’s Bernie’s fault.

Decrease in Fed rate spooked the market by reinforcing the virus is seriously going to impact world economy. Apparently the G7 are working together to help support economy , maybe by rate cuts I don’t know how to link article but pollution in China is down significantly due to economy/factories shutting I want to buy some but this market is so unstable

I think it is from NASA.

It'll be blamed on Bernie, not the fact that the number of deaths from COVID 19 has jumped from 1 to 9 in just a few days

Haven't posted a musical interlude in a while. Enjoy:
I worked as secretary to executive senior vp at a bank in 65. He bought stocks. I kept his personal checkbook so I knew when he bought. One day I decided to ask him about stocks. At 22 I knew basic stuff but that was all. He gave me a lot of good advice and helped me learn quite a bit. One thing he said was “if you don’t remember but one thing, remember this What goes up will come down. Served me well all these years. Your video brought back some fond memories of long ago. Thanks!

So, since the market is back up today, do we blame it on Biden doing well on Super Tuesday?

No... I think if it goes up Trump has to get credit... I believe that is the rule we are currently operating under...

Well, at least we closed at +1173. But, there is still a ways to go to get back to "normal".

If Bernie's wins last week were responsible for the market drop, are Biden's wins this week responsible for the (slow) recovery?

The coronavirus issue is hitting the travel industry hard. Airlines are cutting back flights and cruise lines are hurting.
I got an offer from Viking Ocean Cruises yesterday. They've always demanded full payment two years out (and filled up even so). Now they are offering free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure.
I think it's going to be volatile for quite a while.

Yeah, the travel industry is going to take a huge hit. I have a friend that works in the industry and her company has not done well financially for the last few years. I am afraid this might do them in for good and she is completely unprepared (but that is a whole other story...)

And by extension the hospitality industry, hotels, leisure activities, theme parks. . People working in those industries will likely cut back, not buy houses, cars, or spend discretionary income. It's a ripple effect.
