Trump has obviously not had any bold mitigation strategy, in fact he had a tweet citing flu deaths and saying things don't shut down because of the flu, so actively suggesting things not close/cancel for this, which is directly -against- mitigation

yet these suckups have to falsely praise him at every turn

I did not see this thread. You have to use the format, bro :).

China handled this remarkably well. WoO posted a breakdown. The response was fast and brutal.

One of the reasons is that it used clinical diagnosis, not tests to cover a backlog they lacked the capacity to confirm by lab testing.

So its number leap up by 15000 in one day. Backlog gone. Testing ramped up to make sure it did not come back.

It also had 100ds of 4 person teams tracking all contacts infected people had.

So now, the Shanghai is down 5% from all time highs.

China is a safe haven for global investment. The US is not.

We are watching this play out slowly now. The full process will take 18 months.

Hot rod reincarnated,

What is there to refute? You said that Trudeau self quarantined. Cool? That has nothing to do with a national response to the outbreak and certainly doesn't measure how their containment efforts are proceeding. You keep trying to say that the US (more specially Trump) has handled it pretty well by suggesting that we're just as fucked as other countries and I keep saying "cool. That's not objective. Objectively, we fucked up everything we could with covid."

Stop projecting your non-answers onto me. I have provided fair, honest arguments. My reaction to your pouting and foot stomping over poor toaddick getting his ass rammed over just how totally he fucked up ain't worth addressing. Trump fucked up. The stock markets see this so clearly that they dropped 33% in like a week. Plug your ears and yell to drown out the noise all you want; your fantasy will hopefully get you killed.

The Dow Is Rallying After Germany Does the Right Thing. Now It's the U.S.'s Turn.

Mar 13, 2020

Germany said it had prepared a fiscal stimulus package, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin promised the same from the U.S. Now he needs to deliver.

After suffering its second-worst day on record on Thursday, the U.S. stock market is set to rally on Friday morning as investors bet that government action can prevent a global-economic meltdown.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has climbed 5.9%, while the S&P 500 has gained 5.2%, and the Nasdaq Composite has risen 5.1%. They’re taking their cues from European markets, which are up even more. Germany’s DAX has gained 7.6%, Italy’s FTSE MIB has climbed 16%, and France’s CAC 40 has risen 8.5%.

That European stocks are rallying shouldn’t be a surprise. They suffered their worst day on record on Thursday, leaving their markets poised for a big bounces back, if a catalyst could be found. It was. Germany said it had prepared a fiscal stimulus package that would include loan guarantees for companies impacted by the coronavirus, among other measures. “Germany is repeating today that the fiscal shackles are being taken off and they will spend what they need to spend in order to cushion their economy and that ’Germany will put no limit on credit program to help companies’” according to their Finance Minister,” writes Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group. “The Economy Minister also went so far to say that they would temporary take equity stakes in some companies if needed.”

It’s safe to say Germany nailed it. With much of the global economy shutting down as sporting events are suspended, theaters close down and people self-quarantine, credit lines are exactly what companies need to get through the next couple of months. Now the same thing has to happen in the U.S.

Standard Charter’s Steve Englander believes the Federal Reserve understands this. “We think the Fed will recognise that asset markets will respond positively to policies that help viable companies to survive the economic disruption from the outbreak,” he writes. “This points to an emphasis on ensuring that banks deliver cheap credit to businesses and even households, rather than focusing on the Fed funds and Treasury yields.”

On CNBC this morning, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said that the administration was working with Congress on a Fiscal stimulus package and likened the current selloff to 1987. “For long-term investors, this will be a great investment opportunity,” he said.

The big difference, of course, is that 1987 was almost a purely technical selloff. Coronavirus will have a very real impact on the economy and the earnings of publicly traded companies. That may already be priced in, but the Fed and the U.S. government must still come through. It’s also important to remember that the Dow’s third-largest decline ever came on Oct. 13, 1987, a week after Black Monday. It dropped 8% that day, and was a real test for everyone who had bought after the crash.

It may be a good time to buy, but don’t expect it to be easy.

Market isn't going to stabilize until the growth of cases decrease and won't fully stabilize until the growth in deaths decreases 3 weeks later.

When will this be? Well ... we need mass testing to happen and for MAGA retards to take this seriously so maybe even as late as June July.

What is sure is that we are definitely in a recession now. Waiting too long means social distancing will be 10x as costly.

Mid-correction seems appropriate. I've thought that market fundamentals haven't been great for a while now - we were due for some rebalancing to occur. My failure was in not realizing exactly when it would happen, but I figured it would at some point.

To the extent that the market declines anything more than that, I'm chalking it up to overreaction prompted by media figures who are intentionally trying to create public panic over a disease that has killed a grand total of 50 people so far. Unless you are arguing that Trump should have the authority to censor the media for irresponsible fearmongering, he can't be held culpable for anything that follows.

There are things...

What happens if Boeing has to file for chapter 11 protection? It is part of the DOW index.

There is a downside risk of things getting really bad. Not a 2016 reset, but a 2008 reset.

This would not be something to blame on the media, but for example if the corporate bond market becomes unhinged (goodbye 2008 subprime crises. Hello 2020 corporate bond crises).

Habebe - that is from Bloomberg. I would not have thought of it myself. I did actually consider putting money there after selling off, but figured that would do nothing for my peace of mind. So it sits in a 0-interest, but tax shielded account still :). Chump change remember. I am not bragging about the actual financial result (with is insignificant, relatively speaking), but rather that sometimes what give peace of mind is actually the right thing to do.

"I'm chalking it up to overreaction prompted by media figures who are intentionally trying to create public panic over a disease that has killed a grand total of 50 people so far."

This is because you're stupid and don't understand anything that is happening. Mortality rates between 1 and 3% + millions of infected = thousands to tens of thousands dead. If you question the "millions of infected" bit, consider that the number of infected are almost assuredly in the ballpark of 10x greater than reported numbers. Best estimates at the moment put us at ~2500 cases, which means we're closer to 20-25,000 infected. We're likely at 50,000 infected by Sunday midnight.

I enjoy the current set of freedoms that I have as an American citizen. Trump represents a continuation of those freedoms. His opponents are on record as wanting to take many of those freedoms away.

China:

[...]
Amid a widespread shutdown of manufacturing operations, industrial production – a measure of manufacturing, mining and utilities activity – declined by 13.5 per cent over the first two months of the year, combined data for January and February showed.

This was the first decline on record, although ordinarily the data is released monthly. But the numbers were well below expectations of a 3.0 per cent decline.

Retail sales, a key metric of consumption in the world’s second largest economy, fell by 20.5 per cent, again the first decline on record. This was well below the median forecast of a group of analysts, conducted by Bloomberg, which predicted a 4.0 per cent contraction.

Fixed asset investment – a gauge of expenditure on items including infrastructure, property, machinery and equipment – collapsed by 24.5 per cent, much worse than analysts’ predictions of minus 2.0 per cent. This was the first shrinkage on record.

Trump will blame his (pre-virus) portion of the skyrocketing deficit all on the virus & his cultists will then repeat his claim as if it makes any sense

it's very creepy seeing it in action

Maybe some of the people supporting policies that treat the United States like it is just a stock exchange that also inconveniently includes a nation and 300 million people will have a change of perspective after this abates.

50k jobs is (25 direct, 25k indirect) is not a big deal. And crushed? Break-even is 18 dollars and going below that only means production at a loss.

Everyone knows the oil move is to destroy shale. We don't do shale.

It will be interesting when oil storage runs out though. 10 million barrels a day in overproduction globally. Production will have to be reduced by 10% for that reason alone.

That is why Saudi Arabia is emptying its storage as fast as it can now. To have a storage buffer later.

Shale is mostly the US. The US economy is much better suited to withstanding the drop in price much betternthan either SA or Russia, even Norway.

The rest of our economy will gladly accept the boost from cheap fuel.Now admittedly we will gain less from.cheap oil now with thanking flu going around, but none the less Russia and SA stand to lose the most as its they have economies much more based on FF exports, the US is 80% service economy.

Yah, your economy is doing just great!

You do realize tha colllapsing shale due to oil will push up NG prices, right?

Russia and SA are the ones behind this. They are doing it to kill US shale.

They can because they have huge financial buffers.

You know, the opposite of huge deficits.
