Dow Jones Industrial Average Plunging Again Down 1150 in two days!

Last edited Fri Mar 23, 2018, 04:03 PM - Edit history (1)

this afternoon. For much of the day, it wobbled around the value of yesterday's close, but about 2 PM EDT, it took a deep plunge and is still going down. Right now it's down about 230 points, and the angle of the trend line is heading for about 5:00 on the clock face. If this trend continues, it could end the day much lower.

It will probably stop falling so sharply shortly, but looks like it will finish down around 300 or more by the close. That would take the market down about 1000+ over two days. Why? Because Wall Street didn't like Trump's remarks earlier this afternoon, I expect.

Hang on, folks.

correction territory. Overall guess is a full ten percent down draft.

Just what color ugly do we use

Their shareholders like that. If it weren't for that, the drop would be bigger, I'm sure.

Edging very close to 300 points down. I think it will probably hold at about that level to the close. Over 1000 points down in two days. Not a good sign.

And there it is. If Trump goes insane, things could get worse, by a lot.

It got steeper for a while, but is steadying. Still down-trending, though.

Dropping steeper with less than 10 minutes. Could break down 400+

If so, that will mean over 1100 points lost in two days.

I stand in awe of Trump’s greatness every day. And I am indeed exhausted from all of the winning.
