Dow logs 830-point loss

[Sefko Trafikant + 35]

U.S. stocks slid sharply Wednesday as investors sought safe havens from rising interest rates and the feared reversal of years of consistent gains for technology companies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 831 points Wednesday afternoon, losing 3.2 percent on the day.

The budget deficit has continued to climb in recent years, raising concerns the country’s debt load, now exceeding $21.5 trillion, is growing out of control. The Treasury reported Thursday that the government paid $523 billion in interest in fiscal 2018, the highest on record. A combination of Republican tax cuts, increased federal spending and an aging population are adding to budget strains, though the GOP says tax reform will spur economic growth and lift tax revenue. When the government doesn’t have the money to pay for things, rates go up

Fed - Let's keep raising the rates - It's good for business and economy. Like to hear their numbskull rational why high interest rates and high inflation are good for business or consumers.

Third quarter earnings start coming out on Friday. Reports say that double digit profits will be way above expectations. Corporations will publish outstanding forward looking statements for 2019.

Who woke the bear up ? Hang tight till after mid terms, then make a decision.

Dow is up over 1,000 for the year... 6,000 since Trump became president. 

[Joanna + 68]

I'll believe it is actually a crash if this becomes a trend. We saw those two nearly 1,000 point drops in the Dow earlier this year, and since then, they've recovered to hit new highs.

Heading down again. Energy (oi)l is down but some of my oil  sector stocks are holding up better than I want. I am sniffing around with dry powder waiting to shoot this barreled fish.

And when rates go up, it makes it harder for the government to pay for things.

I have been in the stocks for a long time and for long term investments particularly energy, banks and some tech. since 1988, even this down dip is presenting some good opportunities

If you judge the market based upon the price of the stocks verse the earnings of the company, the market hasn't been this cheap since 2015.
