The circuit breaker broke. :eek:
Now it’s started again and has slid down a tiny bit more - currently -7.24%
I knew I should have converted my 401k to cash last week! 
It’s back over 24k. Thank you, Mr President!
It’s heading down again. I’m blaming Obama and Hillary. 
I recently retired and rolled my 401k into a fund that will (I hope) pay my granddaughter’s college in 16 years. My account was closed and the check was issued the day before the slide began.
Good clean living pays off!
Meanwhile, I’m not going to look at our other retirement funds. Not just yet…
This is gonna be the biggest bear market EVER! It’s gonna be YUUUGE!!!
It’s a beautiful, perfect bear market.
“People are talking about bears and bulls – I know the bulls are good sometimes, but – the money is also made for the bears, and a lot of people are getting very very rich today. They should be thanking me. They used to talk about bulls, and bullshit – who wants that? This is going to be a beautiful thing, and I’ve very happy, and a lot of people are calling me and saying this is great news because it means that we have the oil that we need.”
I’ve got a couple of companies that I’m seeking funding for and the investors I’ve been talking too are pushing hard to get the money into my companies since they pulled it from the stock market and they don’t just want to sit on it. So far this has been good for me, hopefully it doesn’t go through the floor and no one wants to buy what I’m selling.
I’ve heard there are good animals on both sides.
Except for those Washington State snakes.
When Mexico sends its animals, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending animals that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re scorpions. And some, I assume, are good animals.
Back below 24,000 again.
It’s under 24k again. Damn your eyes, Hunter Biden!
And it’s over 24k! Thanks again, Mr President!
Do traders really spend their days staring at the ticker? No wonder they 're crazy.
I so hope when it goes above 25,000 again, he tweets another celebratory tweet!
Down: Doh!
Up: Woo hoo!
Repeat as needed until the mark et closes.
It’s down 2,000, biggest drop since 2008. My meagre portfolio takes a hit. I’m OK with that for now because it could help the country ditch an even greater threat. I’m sorry for people who were about to retire on their 401k’s, though.
This “correction” wasn’t unexpected, was it? I’ve been hearing this was coming for months now, and I’m not exactly the savviest investor.
A common refrain is that economists have predicted 10 of the last 4 market corrections. I guess this is the 5th one. So they’re getting better at it. But yeah, this was something that was said to be coming for a little over a year now. Nobody knew when but nobody can say they weren’t warned.
