OMG THE SKY IS FALLING. QUICK, Trump controls the whole stock market with just one lever, better get him out before he pulls it in error.

<Yawn> No worries, the stock market is a Vegas style crap shoot to begin with, it's correcting, so what.

Go find your local pot store and relax, it'll be okay the U.S. will still be here tomorrow...

Maybe there was no reason for it to have gone up as much as it did and when it started to fall a lot of people panic and take their profits.

It has pulled back a bit down around 822 as I'm typing this, but volatile would be an understatement.

And thats even more scary, panic selling

Why are people panic selling (mind you its the day traders who make millions who are effecting the market right now). Why did they lose confidence in the market when everything has been pointed in a positive direction including their paychecks.

Lol people that knows nothing about stocks are getting all hysterical, especially Trump haters.

I love what the stock market is doing. I hope it keeps on dropping, so I can start buying more.

Completely inaccurate claim if you are measuring by points.

Trump's policies are ruining the economy. First, job growth slows down. Second, the stock market plunges.

You measure by percent, not points.

No reason? High wage growth has invoked the threat of an interest rate increase, that is one, very good reason.
