They ( left ) will use any excuse and when one doesn't pan out they look for another one.

Figures the NYT would say it's about the tariffs. It's about interest rates.

It constantly flabbergasts me that ANYONE would consider anything coming from the NYT as credible.

Didn't have anything to do with the calendar.
Interest rates are rising because the economy is booming. So big investors sell out of stocks.

so the three analysts from Wall St. companies that they quoted who directly attributed it to trade war related issues were made up?

I think this is the 3rd or 4th interest rise this year, the most recent increase has been planned for some time. I don't recall a reaction like this for the other increases, never heard your claim from other financial publications. Strange that bonds also declined.

What exactly has the NYT lied abut several times? By all means, please tell me because I don't want to continue paying for a subscription to a blatantly dishonest publication.

This type of response always flabbergasts me since you don't offer a credible source that contradicts the Times. Anything?

I just heard four different reasons for the stock market to drop. Everyone believes their reason is the correct one. Which is one of they reasons I make my own decisions b/c they can't all be right. It is worth listening to what they say as long as I don't get sucked into to believing them. Clearly they aren't any more correct than anyone not on TV could be.
