Putin has succeeded far more than he could have ever envisioned.

And the idiots are far more oblivious than I thought possible at this point given what we've seen.

ICE could literally be stomping on their heads and they'd be excusing it.

This is hilarious. All the numbnuts who were silent during the last year of approximate 20% gains in the market come out of the closet when we have 1 day of losses. And these posters are still listed as dependants on someone else's tax returns and don't even know what an investment is.

The only thing that's hilarious is how clear it is that you are, as usual, completely uninformed and lacking any understanding of what you're commenting on.

It isn't the loss that's newsworthy, it's the reasons for it - namely global markets and investors have soured so much on US chaos and corruption they're undermining the very foundation of the US and global economic order as a response.

This is a road that tanks our economy beyond anything we've experienced.

This is terrible news. I was planning to sell some gold and order a new boat but now I'm tempted to wait and see how high gold goes.

This stupid piece of s*&^ votes for our demise then has nothing but flippant nonsense when the consequences come to bear.

I hope your boat gets attacked and sunk by orcas, dips*&^.

So, the effect of the selling will be minimal. Of more concern, though, is the effect of the statement explaining the sale.

Sure. But as value begins to fall, others will sell and it will gain steam until we're in a spiral.

I have to imagine that that will only work so many times before Europe says "f*&^ it, we're done dealing with this garbage."
