*U.S. STOCKS TUMBLE 7%, TRIGGERING MARKET-WIDE TRADING HALT
— lemasabachthani (@lemasabachthani) March 9, 2020

Added at 8:37am

S&P 500 has hit the Level 1 circuit break - as it has fallen by 7.0%

As such, we have a 15-minute pause before trade will resume again

If the downside continues then Level 2 prompts another halt at a 13% drop and markets shut if the decline hits 20% (Level 3)

Thousands of people are predicting things every day. Someone has to be right as some point.

Why do you keep bringing up crypto? IF you have some just do what you are doing.

Do you see MSFT share holders dropping links like "oh check out smart people talking about microsoft" WHO CARES?

Here is an article that shows which nations can afford what oil price...
https://knoema.com/vyronoe/cost-of-o...ion-by-country

Russia breaks even at 30$ per barrel.

Saudi Arabia breaks even at 5$ per barrel.

Canada breaks even at 105$ per barrel.

This is a serious problem for Canadian oil production...
Not to mention the rest of oil producers whose production cost is above 30$ per barrel.

I would treat this current price as a fire sale on oil futures!

Stocks have been trading at eye-watering p/e ratios propped up by the easy money regimes and not seen since the dot-com era. A really decent sell-off might inject a little more realism into pricing models...

Well have to agree on timing.. its a "Falling Knife" right now..
But if his DD position is small and with low leverage or 1:1 .. in context of account size.. he will be looking to average in looking for retrace .. Trouble is each time if youve called it wrong.. that gets more and more expensive if the knife keeps falling.. And weve all been there man.. like you said ..in our early days..
