  1. I don't know why people continue to use Sahm rule. She herself has said it may not be applied in all scenarios. She doesn't think that it is applicable now.

  2. Precision and patience paid off. I avoided impulsive moves and instead relied on a well-thought-out strategy, taking profits when the market aligned with my plan. This careful approach culminated in $259K in profits by the week's end, a clear reflection of the power of informed and disciplined trading.

  3. By the end of next month we may see slash in Interest rates. Speaking of prices, rents, leases, mortgages and property taxes are already high for the last couple of years. Gasoline prices fluctuates with market but one thing is sure, saving would become a hard task in the coming years as competition gets nasty. In America people don't protest but resort to double shift and overtime hours or theft and increase in crime rate. Stay tune to your local city news.

  4. We are going to have more and more of these…it's coming, and it feels like the monster is trying to vomit the poison.. scary stuff, soon coming to a neighborhood near you.

  5. Fear and uncertainty create major wealth. It's those who take the risk and have strong gut to endure the bloody days. When i notice extreme dips i tend to actually move more money to crypto….

  6. Kamala is going to have a negative impact on the Asian Indian community in America. They worked hard and worked smart to get where they are unlike Kamala. 🤔

  7. Transfer of wealth usually occur during inflation and market crash at times like this. So for me,this is time for aggressive investment. The more stocks drop, the more I buy. I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more as recession fear increases.

  8. People don’t understand just how fragile a seemingly ‘too big to fail’ economy could be in certain circumstances. Even a small stock market drop similar to recent events leads to to economic downturn, which leads to banks not loaning people money, which leads to further economic downturn, and then people don’t buy things which leads to even more economic downturn.

  9. What That Economic Arrangements Still Yet After 2019 which By Protecting 268 First in Legislative , Clerical & Entrepreneurial Global Power Ditches Entire World on Daily Basis To Reach Figure 90% World in Penury by 2026.

  10. Does the media ask evidence from Joe Biden and Harris administration on the claims which they make? The media is quick to ask evidence from Trump but lack a spine to point the current US admin for this mess in economy post Covid.

  11. I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

  12. Does news serve purpose only create for fear amongst public rather than actual reporting of reason and how market recovered in next few days.
    Job market cant be reason for a sudden drop in a day so better research is expected.

  13. From the bottom of the heart I truly wish ALL the worst fears come true for All Jews and Anericans forever on behalf of the thise children who died and mained by you and your Allies under the hypocarcy og right to defend over the last 10 months .

  14. tell all of these companies to stop hiring "temps" as all of their labor workers, when in damn well they need permanent workers. the treatment, and low wages is just unsustainable.
