it's CARSHING

About time!

Dis is good. I'ma buying.Me luva da silva.

Bennie & the Ink Jets to the rescue. Pretty amazing that they can gun the markets with a printing press. I have a a question: The FED buys these equities through primary dealers but how are they going to unwind these purchases? Or will they just give the dealers the stocks ?

:jay:

When is it not crashing? How much longer can they kick the can down the road?

Wait a couple more days. May go below $32.

Add a few to the stack.

I see these posts all the time. Can anyone explain to me how a 1 to 2 percent loss is considered "tanking" seems like pretty small potatoes to me.

Small potatoes because the printing press is stepping in to keep it atable. If the Printing Press was withdrawn it would Carsh for sure. The market is and Illusion of faith because it is the "ONLY" Place any normal Americans have any worth because of the Mandated law of investment in 401K's and IRA's.

If the market fails it's over, hense the printing press support !

You call those numbers "tanking"? Puleeeeease! What the hell are you gonna call it when they really do tank!

No offense Luisport, but it doesn't really deserve a pin, that's not tanking.

For most normal people, this is normal volatility. But this is GLP, where people are (thankfully) anything but normal, and every tick down is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM.

Honestly. There have been riots in the streets for 3-4 years and now the stock market is down 1.5%!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Yeah, damn crash and can kicking takes time!
