Jesus, what is he thinking?
No pun intended?
Hahaha! Great, that’s one bouncy cat.
Gonna have a dead cat bounce on that flattened curve…
Mind-boggling short squeeze. Here’s an idea: Unplug the computers.
I want 10,000 copies of a photo of trump, suitable for wall hanging, penned with the quote from Bill Gates today: “It’s very tough to say to people, ‘Hey keep going to restaurants, go buy new houses, ignore that pile of bodies over in the corner, we want you to keep spending because there’s some politician that thinks GDP growth is what counts,’”
I think New York doctors should give those copies out, starting around, oh, Easter, to the families of patients who don’t get access to a ventilator.
Lining up the hedge funds to buy. Not so stupid.
For how long?
“Why Easter?”
“It would be a very beautiful day, a beautiful timeline.”
We’ll see how that works out. He’s been able to go off his hunches, opinions, and gut feelings without any backlash for 3 years, maybe another 30% off the Dow and people will start to react accordingly.
The telling point will be when large, dense conservative cities enter uncontrollable crisis mode. Watch New Orleans. Trump is a natural when he has resistance or opposition. Right now, liberal governors are leading, and Trump gets to sit back passively and project calm. Most Trump supporters still consider this largely a Democratic hoax–why panic when Trump is so calm? Conservative governors aren’t being proactive. When New Orleans et al start melting down, Trump might have to actually step in and lead where the conservative governors are still channeling “it’ll wash over us, like a miracle.”
What happens to his plan to get America back to work–and save his precious Dow–when he’s reinitiating national emergency powers down the line?
Maybe he’ll have “a hunch” that they should cram ’em into the Superdome. Worked for Dubya.
H-Man, Rome is burning while Nero is playing the fiddle.
Why Easter? My guess is the mega MAGA churches are taking a social distancing donation hit and the churches are all over Trump to make sure butts are in the pews by Easter so they don’t miss out on those smooth milk chocolate and the sweet fondant center Cash-bury Egg donations.
Why Easter? I’m guessing the mega MAGA churches are taking a social distancing donation hit and are putting pressure on Trump to get butts in pews by Easter so they can collect those smooth milk chocolate and the sweet fondant center Cash-bury egg donations.
I’m sorry but someone has to say it: Morons.
Does the Gee in GOP stand for genocide?
Trump is in the hospitality trade. His properties must be bleeding red. Trump cares infinitely more for his business interests that for the health and safety of Americans. A few million deaths are not a yuge concern in comparison.
Like the tobacco companies, he may be killing his own customers. Let’s say his supporters take Hannity’s lead and significantly reduce their numbers. How will that work for him in November? Is it just me, or does this seem like the calculus of a very stable genius?
Many hedge fund bigwigs are touting a big bounce to the 2700+ level before the carnage continues. I’m not so sure we’ll even make that mark before retesting the lows.
The international EM situation (Brazil, India, Turkey) has yet to really get started. So on top of the pandemic and the oil wars, we could very well have a whole ‘nother crisis to add to the mix in the next two months (sovereign defaults or currency collapse). Not every country out there has the exorbitant privilege of being the world’s reserve currency.
I’ve just done my mkt shopping and feel the market is way overvalued. If you believe the next business cycles will totally ignore growth, valuations, earnings and reality, this is a time to buy and also a time to shop for an Easter hat and gloves and scootch next to your favorite community members, and hoot it up about the fake virus. Me, I’m believing cash is King and I’ll wait for real bargains. People have been shooting fish in barrels for a decade and none of us have ever seen this type of bat urine in our lifetimes!!!!! Amen
It feels like the marketing department is running the company. The Easter date gets picked for the obvious metaphor and now the virus curves must bend to fit in the date. This marketing department is never afraid to over-promise either….
Unfortunately I think this is win-win for him, if the disease magically abates he gets to claim victory. If it doesn’t he can suspend the election due to virus concerns. What are people going to do… go out and protest?
Love the reference to largest gain since 1933. Isn’t that when the Great Depression started?
