Maybe the dangerous clown will come on the tube again later to pump stocks.

5. Lose 10% a day

And in a month you are beginning to talk about real money......

This loss was a direct to Trump's speech last night. The markets know what we are in for.

6. Holy shit

I think all gains since Trump took over are basically gone.

for less than a cruise ticket.

Trump also owns number 12.

9. And all he could say

Was that the stock market was still higher than it was when he first took over. That may well be but at this rate, it won't be for long.

11. Close today was 21,200.

On 1/20/17 when he was sworn in it was 19,827 so it might take another day or two.

14. Half of my retirement. The other half is in savings.

Well it did buy us a few vacations over the years. Hubby and I always regarded it as pretty much just paper. We figured some huckster would come along sooner or later and either steal it or mismanage it until it was worthless. Never really thought that it would be the President because it was doing pretty well till now.

Sorry to the kids whose inheritance will be some crocheted doilies. Just kidding... can’t crochet... you won’t even get that, lol.

15. Why did anyone think this loser could lead anything?

At least you got some vacations.

16. Margin calls

Mean more stocks have to be sold to cover. This won’t turn around on its own. Only leadership and creative strategy will stop the slide. With McTurtle in his shell and an idiot in the White House I don’t have much hope.
