This winter will be just like it was in March/April/May, particularly in the northern states. It'll be alright for now if you're in a white collar industry that allows you to work remotely, or your work is essential (education, healthcare, shipping, warehousing, some manufacturing), but it'll be a disaster if you work in any sort of service/hospitality industry.

Yeah all those jobs Trump likes to pretend he created are all going away and this time they may not come back for quite some time. I know my second job isnt even discussing re-opening which means my big money season (January through April) is already all but dead.Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View Post
Too bad too...if I had been able to make this year what I did last year I would be putting money into my trading account because November 4th is going to be a nice day to invest I do believe ;-)"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Well...Originally posted by Kepler View Post
From the looks of it Amazon and Google reported higher than expected earnings, Twitter didnt meet expectations and Apple not getting the IPhone sales they expected didn't help. Dow finished up (barely) but futures has already offset that. As seen in the quote Apple slid as did Amazon as did Twitter.Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 200 point. The S&P 500 futures fell 0.9% and the Nasdaq 100 futures slid 1.2%..
Shares of Apple fell more than 5% in extended trading after the tech giant reported a 16% decline in iPhone sales and failed to offer investors any guidance for the quarter ahead. Amazon dipped 1.5% even after the e-commerce giant reported blowout third-quarter results with a big beat on the top line.
Wall Street staged a modest rebound on Thursday on the back of better-than-expected U.S. gross domestic product and jobless claim data. The 30-stock Dow gained more than 100 points for its first positive day in five, while the S&P 500 rose 1.2% to snap a three-day losing streak. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.6%.
Still, major averages are on pace to post their worst weekly performance in months. The Dow is down 5.9% week to date, on pace for its worst week since March 20. The S&P 500 has fallen 4.5% this week, headed for its worst week since June 12.
Basically it turned out exactly how they were hypothesizing yesterday...Earnings would be good, but not good enough to have any real impact. All the Indexes will likely finish down for the week, down for the month with no end in site until either a vaccine or the Inauguration. I mean if Amazon can report 37% growth and that cant goose this then yeah...Last edited by Handyman; 10-29-2020, 06:24 PM."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Well duh...but the market wasnt expecting that kind of a drop off. I think if this was any other period that number would have caused a bit of a sell off but since the market is looking for ANYTHING that can show a bit of stability it got over-emphasized.Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View Post
Kepler,
Yeah pretty much. Even if Earnings Week had done what they were hoping the indexes werent going to recover much of the losses. COVID has guaranteed that as has a President who has no plan for anything. The market is freaking out which is why Cramer was saying it is time to bake in the the COVID already and just accept we are where we are so the it doesn't swing so wildly. Trump screwed up his own "economy is booming" bs by tweeting out that he didnt want stimulus negotiations to continue like a month ago adding to the worry already there that McConnell is not going to do it anayways. (Trump forcing the issue would have been the last hope)"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Markets up...CNBC is all over the place about how politics are going to matter. They seem to be both hedging that nothing will happen no matter who President is and that either/or could be bad. Basically believe as long as Stimulus passes things will be fine.

I really think a Biden win or prolonged fight where Biden wins is baked in. Occasional sell off if he does, but nothing like a Covid drop (just like how Trump's win was rumored to tank the market but never did).Originally posted by Handyman View Post
Look for rollercoaster movement if Trump wins or argues his way to a win.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”
