Dow plunging 525 points. S p plummeting 2. 37 nasdaq nosediving 3. 02 . I got to tell you, i think this decline is healthy this market needed a beatdown if only a learning experience for people who thought it was too easy when the market is roaring, a lot of investors seem to forget the most fundamental rule, buy low, sell high they want to buy high and sell higher the problem with that strategy is when stocks go down, they go down hard. You tend to lose money faster than you make it rather than being panicked by the sell off you in a very proverse way should be cheering for it we needed this why . Because we needed to break the nasty pattern of 1999 to 2000 so many people refer to during the run the leaders never took a breather. They kept charging higher and higher until the market peaked when they collapsed. Millions of investors led to the slaughter house. I began to wonder we might be doomed to repeat the mistakes of the. Com era. The markets led by a hand full of Tech Companies b
Reakinnews. President trump is back in the oval office and back on camera tonight, two days after returning from the hospital. In a new video produced by the white house, the president says he feels perfect and calls his infection with coronavirus a blessing in disguise. He also says the experimental drug therapy he received is a cure and that he plans to make it available for free to all americans. Now, that might be over promising the drug, made by the company regeneron, because it has not been approved by the f. D. A. And was only given to the president under special exception called compassionate use. Now, the president s decision to return to the west wing is not only putting his staff at risk. It violates his own governments guidance that anyone infected should isolate for ten days. Now, in a written statement today, his doctor said he did not have symptoms but he did not say if it was safe for trump to interact with others. Now, the president s new video tonight also risks upsta
Joe, whats this about what do you think is going on in the market, joe . I think this is an asbestos luts perfect technical correction that were experiencing and we have been experiencing from the beginning of the month i talked about it with you i dont think the time is now to be stepping in and thinking that its over. I agree with your opening. Tlp is further weakness that lies ahead for the market. Lets keep in mind theres significant weakness in germany. I know jim talked about apple being higher for the day as a good positive indicator. Apple should be higher wasnt able to sustain that its in a bear market. As long as apple remains under some pressure, you have to believe the overall market will have a bit of its own problem, dont you think. Possibly. First of all, we needed a correction whether its because the case, the daily case in europe are now ahead of the u. S. Or the debates next weekend or the election coming up we needed the sell off this is great thing. Investors have t
Buyer beware, ipos that have doubled do not have a great track record after the debut. Plus the president and tiktok, he says hes not prepared to sign off on anything for an oracle tiktok deal. And wall street poised for a sharply lower open following the feds pledge to keep Interest Rates low for years and Technology Stocks do lead the declines speaking of which, jim, sounds like your conversation with joe a moment ago kind of rings with what Credit Suisse says today about tech valuations overall, that is that there is some excess and theyre lightning their weight at least on software. I count 30 companies that are selling at 30 times sales and then theres a number, even more, maybe another ten that are selling above that, 50 times sales for zoom along comes snowflake at 100 times sales. You just have to put the stop sign up because what it says is theres going to be so much supply that is coming. Look, if you own a company youve been waiting for it to come public you just got the gre
