a friend of mine that has to wear those disposable face masks because of a respiratory issue was telling me today that their price has gone up over 500% in the last week and he buys them in bulk.

My suppliers are starting to ration them.  I can only buy a certain number of boxes at a time.  New accounts can't buy any, as they're suspected of buying them to resell at a large markup.

Market closed almost 1200 points down. 

Idiot-in-chief says the stock market is falling fast because the country did not approve of the Democratic debate a couple days ago. 

NBC financial reporter says she didnt see anyone on the trading floor complaining about Bernie Sanders, but saw a lot of people talking about the corona virus.

with today's loss in the market, combined with the previous 2 sessions, it's now around twice the decline that ushered in the bush recession. so much for trump using the economy for re-election, that old conservative standby of starting a new war in the ME just may be the ticket now.

no loss for me this time. I converted what was left of my stock into real estate after the last mental defective in the white house cratered the US economy in 2008. bargains galore.

People with a little, just a little, savvy about the stock market know that many things can influence stocks. Take a look at airlines--they are way down due to the virus outbreak.

For someone to look at 3 days of the market after a world-wide outbreak is a little narrow minded and a whole lot silly.

And once the virus is controlled or eradicated or no longer a world-wide threat, many folks expect that the market will bounce back just as strong as ever.

Of course, some folks may panic and sell everything now. Those would be the foolish ones. The ones buying now at reduced prices or simply holding on to what they have will be the ones making all the money.

So, how much of a loss are you selling out for?

he's experiencing some karma. seems as though some big campaign donation checks from the usually reliable conservative donors have bounced after the blood bath they took in the market this week. let's hope his next rally is filled with peeved retirees and wealthy financial market victims that can bring cash.

Can we assume you have no proof of this, since you didn't bother to name anyone whose check bounced?

Or do you think they wrote a big check just this week, and it bounced?

A source is a source--something sorely lacking in this case.

Maybe YOU can provide a source that large donor checks to Trump's campaign have bounced. I can't find it anywhere, so I have to assume that the poster made that shit up.

Go for it---I would just LOVE to see your source for believing that, or do you just believe anything that falls out of a fellow left winger's mouth?

Reading is fundamental.

In the comment you replied to, 'bounced' has nothing to do with checks...

Guess I should have completely ignored this then...…...

Use your words. If you are waiting on some type of proof from me, it would be helpful to let me know WTF you are talking about.

If it is from someone else, you would be much better off addressing it to them.

enjoy the next 2 day single player leather-slapping session.

Naw--I'm saving myself for the BIG Bernie party when he becomes the Democratic nominee.
