1) US Treasury yields drop to the lowest level in 150 years
Thanks to Trump bullying the Federal Reserve, interest rates are in new territory.
Ten-year US Treasury yields — the benchmark for global financing — got a shove below 1% after the Federal Reserve made an emergency cut to its target rate yesterday. It’s the lowest rate ever, according to records going back to 1871.
What do these low interest rates mean? They indicate that investors are worried that economic growth will stumble, which is why they are buying risk-free government bonds instead of things like stocks.
It may also result in more corporate acquisitions, as executives take advantage of cheap financing to buy competitors, said Alberto Gallo, a portfolio manager at Algebris Investments. “It was a policy mistake,” Gallo said on the Fed’s decision. “Everyone on the investor side is pretty in line with this view.”

2) But Trump is NOT stopping. He wants MORE interest rate cuts:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The Federal Reserve is cutting but must further ease and, most importantly, come into line with other countries/competitors. We are not playing on a level field. Not fair to USA. It is finally time for the Federal Reserve to LEAD. More easing and cutting!

3) Trump is prescribing the Wrong medicine for a supply shock
There is the longstanding question of how effective monetary stimulus, and even some forms of fiscal stimulus, can be in the face of what is likely to be a “supply shock” — the type of economic hit caused by the absence of goods and services as the virus forces factory shutdowns and curtails transportation and travel. Monetary and fiscal stimulus is typically aimed at mitigating demand shocks, which are sharp cutbacks in spending by households, businesses or governments. A supply shock to the economy isn’t helped by lower interest rates right now.
Investors will likely remain at the mercy of headlines surrounding the spread of COVID-19 in coming weeks and months.

We're all seriously fucked.
DOW is at insane levels and the quality of life in America is nowhere near where it was in the late 90's and early 2000's when the DOW was half of what it is today.
The next crash is going to cripple us.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

All those four O 1's wiped out. All the market gains under Trump gone. Why, because the moron just can't be truthful and adept. Yep, he's doing a great job all right.

In the last hour Trump wants you to know that coronavirus is not a big deal and the stock market crash (down 1,492.35 today) is not his fault. See the tweets!
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!

Saudi Arabia and Russia are arguing over the price and flow of oil. That, and the Fake News, is the reason for the market drop!

Trump has earlier tweets from today about how it is all Obama's and, especially, Biden's fault.

Did you bother reading the thread title and the title date before making this post, dummy?
I know subtraction is really, really hard.
I'm also curious what you think adept means. Seems an odd way to use it.
