I'm just as, if not more, concerned about the economic repercussions coming from the global economic slowing or stopping in areas. It's not like your water faucet you turn on and off. When it slows or stops it takes a long time to recover or restart.

This virus stuff will bankrupt more people than it kills. Smh.

LOL, yeah you've got axes to grind. And yes this is the politics forum, but man, with regards to tariffs and the like, it's skewing stuff.

I'm not surprised that you consider siding with liberty and freedom is axe grinding, Comrade.

Relax and just take the first part of what I said as a compliment.

Will there be a boom after the bust? If everything is shut down or operating at reduced capacities they’ll be shortages. Auto parts, computer parts.... you name it

If you didn’t feel so compelled to throw shade and qualify it with the second part he probably would have.

Boom coming for broadband, internet, cloud and domestic manufacturers of medicine and electronic components. Probably home security and firearms as well.

Coronavirus. Chinese manufacturing was put on hold. Supply chains were disrupted. The US consumer drives economies and their habits have been altered.

The DJIA has doubled once in the last 20+ years.

The DJIA doubled between 2013 and just recently when it crossed over 29000.

Bailouts... time to buy soon???

OK. I'll revise:

@Thunder Good-Oil I appreciate your analytical posts on the market.

Crossed 10,000 in 1997 iirc. It was about 20,000 last week.

Wall Street fears ‘flashbacks to 2008’ with forced selling in $9 trillion U.S. corporate bond market

Should the Fed be allowed to buy up Corporate Debt as well in an attempt to support the Corp Bond Market?

If the Fed thinks it's warranted, why not?

 

[85SugarVol]

If the Fed thinks it's warranted, why not?

I tend to agree.

What do they need from Congress? A bill? A vote? Clear a committee?

Not if you have any knowledge whatsoever of the hell you're encouraging.

I don't know the limits of the Fed's charter.

One would think after 2008 they are quite broad.

They need approval from Congress

WTF does a 0% interest rate even mean?

Negative rates may be coming soon. You pay them to hold a dollar.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Inflation protected T bills effectively already are at negative rates aren’t they?

 

[1972 Grad]

Hey big man. Lemme hold a dollah.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Hey big man. Lemme hold a dollah.

You borrow a dollar and pay him back .94 cents. Sweet deal?
