“Executive management is excited about tax breaks for capital-expenditure purchases in the new tax bill,” said an executive at an information provider.
The service sector is a bellwether for the U.S. economy, employing eight of 10 American workers.

Don't be so confident. Also from Marketwatch:

Buckle up! This ‘ultimate bear chart’ signals a pivotal moment for investors

“Basically what this implies is that the entire rally since the early 2016 lows will turn out to have been a blow-off top,” he explained. “I’m not calling for an immediate collapse here, but I’m pointing to a possibly huge structural relationship between bonds and stocks, one that will likely take years to play out. But the signs of trouble are already in that chart.”
Silly Trump cultists (not to mention Trump himself) thought the stock market was headed only up up up.

My, this quote did not age well:


Dow broke through the 25,000 mark, going down, and is at 24,956.


I do trust that it is a 'correction' or whatever, and that it will begin to go back up. Since I am retiring June 30th, and wish to cash out my 401K (or the Federal equivalent thereto), I obviously hate to see losses.

Looks like another blood-bath.

A correction, or the beginning of the bear market?

Dont cash out all of the 401k perhaps? Leave a lot in, and ride the storm out. But yeah the headline of this thread is now hilarious.

I think a 20% correction due from the high of 26,000. The Trump Dump could go to 20,000-21,000.

Stocks go up, it's absolutely all due to Trump.
Stocks go down, it's just the natural up and down flow of stocks.

Holy crap. Almost -1500 points.

The worst day in US history was 700+ points, so this is twice as bad as that.
