Energies hammered . . . this is not good for commodities.

Dow collapsed this aft from 800 points down to 1,500 points down within minutes. Huge investor panic, huge volatility and 1st day of Fed Chairman Powell in-office. Tomorrow will be interesting . . . .

Bitcoin and Trump great similarities, Neither is worth S#########. Stocks have doubled or more in the last year could not continue. Just going back to normal.

Reality of trump getting questioned by mueller.
That's why the nines garbage came out but it's no new news. The fact is things were done wrong how they got there to find it is an issue but it still doesn't take away what happenned with the Russians and trump.

A record no doubt, I wonder how much value was taken off the books today.
Percentage wise it doesn't crack the top 20

CNBC reports $1 trillion has been trimmed from stock market since Feb 1. And while today's drop does not make top 20 in percentage terms, if you add the loss from last Friday when the selloff really started, it ranks as 17th largest percentage loss in history. Unfortunately, it is not likely over.
