Market expected to drop 1300points at opening. Is this what a crash looks like? Not looking good for people with 401k's and IRA's. So much for the roaring economy. Will this lessen Trump's re-election bid?
Down 1800 points at opening. Trading halted amidst 7% drop.
Market terribly over sold. People who take out their money are foolish at this point. Trump will not be hurt by this latest oil fiasco. I can't image anyone switching from Trump to Bite me anyway.
Trump understands Markets and business BTW. He is the guy you want dealing with this
...and Guyana had elections this week, the little country neighboring Venezuela.
"Guyana, which has a population of less than 800,000, is expected to become a major oil producer in the coming years as a consortium of companies including Exxon Mobil Corp taps into 8 billion barrels of oil and gas off its coast."

This oil price drop is basically a combination of a pissing contest between Saudi Arabia and Russia over cutting oil exports. Saudi Arabia can produce oil cheaper than anyone else on Earth and they wanted to corner up the China market ahead of everyone else, including Russia. Chinese demand for oil is way down due to the coronavirus which has helped create a huge supply and much lower demand than is customary.
The other aspect of the aforementioned combination is Russia's eagerness, through high world wide production, to get oil prices so low that they will cause many smaller companies that produce oil from shale here in the States into financial hardship and/or bankruptcy. The whole thing is working very well in this regard! Smaller shale oil companies will not last long at all with oil prices at these levels. When oil prices go back up Russia will have much less competition from the United States.
So much for the Trumpster and Vlad being a$$hole buddies! LOL!
And it may have something to do with the demise of the petrodollar. USD will no longer be pegged to oil. Going goldbacked very soon
Market in another free fall at opening. Goldman predicts another 15% drop.
New US republic will have no payroll taxes.

Dow futures lower. Expect another big drop tomorrow. We are in big trouble. The thriving economy we had just a couple of weeks ago is dying before our very eyes.
