After first qtr earnings are announced will be the time to buy imo.
New unemployment claims will be a record. Expectations are more than 2,400,000 people apply this week.
One week ago it was 281,000
Two weeks ago it 213,000
THREE MILLION people will have lost their jobs in THREE WEEKS.
Just Nasty.
Imagine that, a trump supporting businessman is not interested in the well being of Americans in general but rather his own bank account.
Self absorbed prickk.

Any clue why the death rate (or whatever the correct term is here) seems to be substantially higher in Italy than anywhere else? Even Iran is lower...
Not to mention, China, Japan, & S Korea - overall results are very confusing and difficult to understand. I still don't understand how they have no (or very few) new cases while it's spreading everywhere else... do they spray their borders with lysol on a daily basis or something?
Essentially, this is the problem and will continue to be the problem... there seems to be no good handle on any of this, I don't mean a handle on the disease, I mean a handle on exactly what is happening or why it's happening. The result then is that everyone is guessing or drawing conclusions from whatever source they seem to trust.... and conclusion run the gamut.
Last thought, I'd be far more hopeful about the whole 'shelter in place' idea if I felt our government was set up for a proper medical response. But it seems to me they only have half of the equation in place and, to me at least, that does not bode well for the long term success of 'shelter in place'. People will ultimately not follow the rules if they are not seeing that it is resulting in gains.
Again, that's just my opinion and I readily admit I have no idea which direction any of this will go.

What is this going to do to the federal debt? All of these bail out packages plus less revenue for the govt. we were already running up record levels, could we be close to $30 trillion once this is all said and done?
Will Trump fire Fauci? Can he?
We all know how fragile his ego is.

Note 1: Fatality rate continues to climb, even with rapidly climbing case numbers. Not a good sign for the notion that the fatality rate is really less than 1%. So far, 4.2% and climbing.
Note 2: Daily increase in case rates has bounced around 17 - 18% for the two weeks that I have been tracking. Daily increase in deaths has declined from around 25% to around 19%. At this point these two growth rates have nearly converged on a single day basis which is what you would expect. This suggests that the case numbers are reflective of actual growth in cases and not just a reflection of more testing going on.
Note 3: Sh!tty day. I really thought that case number growth would continue to tumble as it did on March 16 and 17. So far, the numbers don't support that hypothesis.
The numbers out of Italy today were especially alarming, you’d think they’d be trending down by now and they aren’t.
Maybe you're right. Here is was Burr said on 2/27:
ProPublica noted that contrary to Burr's optimistic public response to the coronavirus pandemic, an NPR report on Thursday indicated that he also warned members of a private club of donors on February 27 that the coronavirus was "much more aggressive in its transmission than anything we have seen in recent history" and was "probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic."
Here's Trump:
February 27th: “It’s going to disappear,” Trump said at the White House. “One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”
Whatever information was available to Burr was also available to Trump. If it convinced Burr to sell, it sure the hell should have put a fire under Trump.

Trump had quite a few private dinners with super-rich, mega-donors at Mar-a-Lago before his market landslide. It would be interesting to know who those people were, whether Trump told them anything (he did because he can't help himself, and telling would fill his coffers), if they took advantage of the secret information like Barr did (they likely yes).

If he fires Fauci we probably get 20x more deaths over the next year. Yeah, he may fire him and hire the guy who is peddling that “magic” drug, or Ms Cleo.

If Jared has taken the Middle East Peace process as far as he can maybe he could take over from Fauci?

Are you celebrating that and revelling in the market demise or do you have any sympathy for those whose jobs have been lost and those whose portfolios have dwindled. Jesse - you are celebrating the latter two knowing that that will hurt Trump's chances in the fall. You are a pathetic person.
Aren’t you the fkn idiot who said buy buy buy before the mkt plunged another 20%? You might wanna just STFU.

In all fairness, Trying to time the market without inside info is a fool’s errand.
What Trump and Boris Johnson have done equates to Manslaughter.
Gross negligence, decisions based on economic reasons and now consequences will be brutal.
Both health systems are 2nd rate. I am afraid how bad this will become.
Hope comes from knowing stock-market numbers-crunchers like agip are showing how absolutely useless they are in times like these. Welcome to reality, agip. You won’t have much fun until you make yourself useful.
Pence has been head and shoulders above Trump. Trump should just shut his pie hole and let Pence handle all the communications. Trump can't brand, or lie or deflect blame or scapegoat out of this crisis. Its too big for that. Kind of sad that Pence is the effective leader that we have to rely on. At least he is not a joke.

Trump had his FDR moment ("you have nothing to fear but fear itself") presented to him on a platter, but he was too juvenile to seize it. He reverted to the bitter little boy that we see too often from him.
The governors (Democrats and Republicans)are really outshining the big man through this crisis. They're looking like leaders.
If Trump wins this fall, look for Cuomo to run in 2024.

people have been asking 'would you rather have trump or pence as president' for 3 years and clearly the answer should have been Pence. But his religiosity freaked people out.
I'd take pence over trump any day, instantly.

It could be for some or all of these reasons:
* Older population in Italy
* Health care system was overwhelmed faster
* Italy is seeing a more virulent strain of the virus
* Italy is gathering statistics in a way that is different. That is, they may have a different criteria for what counts as a coronavirus case and/or what counts as a coronavirus death.
Plus Iran is lying. The mullahs don’t want to give up power, don’t want to admit they’ve wasted time & money supporting all these wars while people need healthcare. Secular rule could be coming.
