Correct...these moves have been 2-3%. Black Monday in 1987 was down 22%. It would be like the Dow dropping over 5,000 points today.

I chalked it up to the monthly breakdown/maintenance shutdown of some refinery in Whiting as usual

There probably isn't even a refinery in Whiting, they just say it and laugh their asses off.

At this point, who would even check? Death, taxes & refinery breakdown so gas prices routinely spike.

If only we had confidence in Trump, the market would be up.

15000 lies will do that to zero credibility

RR - you should know, anything positive in life is Trump's doing and anything bad isn't the President's fault.

So we've been told.

Down another 1000 unless there is a late afternoon rebound.

truth is the President doesn't matter. Just like managers in baseball.

I think we've past it. So much for that campaign plank.

And he's wiping out a chunk of the Obama recovery. Why, because Obama gets too much credit for it.

Generally I agree, but trump owns the last two days. His stupid lies shake confidence. Maybe he should go back to India and reinforce his at our expense again.

That's just silly. The stupid virus and it's mortality and infection rate shakes confidence.

It’s great that a thread about the DOW need to me moved to the “Politics” section. SMH.

Trump has really pissed off the virus.

Copy infringement yo!

Confidence is only part of it - The larger problem is the very real issue surrounding trade, travel and other economic concerns. Apple can't make phones, airlines canceling flights, etc. This is negatively affecting any industry that does business with China.

Also, I'm not blaming Trump for this, but his first response during the recent presser was to blame Democrats for the stock market drop rather than the virus. That's just a really strange reaction when he is there to show leadership on the subject.

Because he's always worried about himself. Not understanding that just pretending to be presidential helps him.

Where the fuck did that 1200 point decline come from?
