This is just so predictable: it’s the shutdown. If no one’s getting paid, of course the market responds by crashing.

360 points is NOTHING when the market is this high.

Now in 1920s, that many points would be a big deal.

+1000000
Market will hold steady - fluctuations but the bubble of those doing well is significant enough no market prob into next yr. See how things are later next yr but my feeling is the market won't tank unless something significant disrupts - gold will continue to rise though too though!

360 points? Lol

^ People can take a general loan from their TSP account.

One thing that does happen is that the furloughed workers no longer contribute to their TSP accounts because they are not getting paid. The government match is also not getting invested. I'm not sure how much this affects the stock market, but a little bit I'm sure. The other thing is that people could be taking money out of their TSP accounts if the furlough goes on for long. They could take loans and that would take money out of the stock market. But again, I'm not sure how much that is or how it would affect the market.

No one cares. Indeed that is why the dems are making a mistake here. They think that there will be outrage when in fact no one cares.

Conflating several things here. Dems aren't outraged over the stock market. But everyone knows that the longer the shutdown does on, the more people will realize that the party holding the country hostage is the party in power. Dems only have to wait.

The stock market is its own beast.

LOL… what should we do now, OP??

Sigh. You're so stupid, OP. Wall Street couldn't care less about federal shutdowns. It couldn't care less about the suffering of the average person either. It is responding to market pressures from large corporations that have nothing to do with the lives of millions.

Haha, no that’s a Tuesday. That’s what 0.2%?

It’s probably a little profit taking.
