3.3 million new initial jobless claims. Above expectations in the low 2 million range.

The Americas are all doing well today. Europe continues its downward spiral.

Let's be clear. These layoffs are ENTIRELY the work of government action and mass media hysterics. Private companies are completely blameless in this situation and should not be stigmatized for events that are entirely outside of their control.

Anyone saying otherwise on these boards is delusional and frankly stupid.

My comment was obviously at the blubbering vagina. Which I guess I need to clarify isn't Dukhat in this instance.

You have just embraced social democracy.

Persons - legal or otherwise - should not be penalized for events that are entirely outside of their control.

Delusional much? You are racing Italy neck and neck to who will pass China in number of infections first.

Estimates on the US reaching peak deaths in 3 weeks is based on the death numbers doubling every 2.5 days.

250 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = peak daily death according to current estimates.

Halving rate: 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3 days to get back to 250 deaths a day again.

128k deaths + 128 k deaths + (96k deaths x8) + (48k deaths x 7) + (24k deaths x 6) + 12k deaths x 5) + (6k deaths x 4) + (3k deaths x 4) + (1.5k deaths x 4) + ( 750 deaths x 3) + ( 350 deaths x 3)

The math behind 2 million or so dead.

That is 21 days to reach peak and 45 days to get back down to now again. 66 days in total. Missing a 6 for 666 :D.

According to this - buy into index funds in exactly 25 days. Just before it becomes clear that the death rate has fallen to half of peak.

Jergulometry, When in doubt change the subject and respond to things never posted in our universe of reality.

I was comparing the Dow to the Dax.

Subject not changed. The outlook for the next 25 days is extremely negative.

I showed you why.

That may very well be. But as of yet the US dow isnt doing nearly as bad as the rest of the world.

South America is actually doing very well too.

Time will tell.

I am almost certain US stock markets has lost more market capitalization than the rest of the world combined.

It would be a fun thing to check.

Ultimately, the only thing that matters is realized losses through liquidated positions or bankrupcies.

Paper losses are not actual losses.

Retards buy shares, too:

http://www...onfuse-it-with-zoom-video.html

The Securities and Exchange Commission suspended trading of Zoom Technologies on Thursday, partly because investors are confusing it with Zoom Video, which has seen a surge share price due to COVID-19. It will resume trading April 9.

Zoom Video, which provides videoconferencing services and trades under the ticker symbol “ZM,” is a key component for many businesses shifting to remote work during the coronavirus pandemic. That’s led to the company, which went public last year, to see a surge in users and stock price rise of more than 112% this year so far -- a rarity in the current coronavirus-induced down market. It’s now got a market cap north of $40 billion.

However, traders have also bid up the much smaller Zoom Technologies, which has the ticker symbol “ZOOM”. Its stock is up more than 50% this month and nearly 900% this year. The company has not disclosed financial information since 2015, the SEC says.

“The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of ZOOM because of concerns about the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information concerning ZOOM, including its financial condition and its operations, if any, in light of the absence of any public disclosure by the company since 2015; and concerns about investors confusing this issuer with a similarly named NASDAQ-listed issuer, providing communications services, which has seen a rise in share price during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,” the SEC said in a filing.

Jergul, Everything is relative.

If the US losses 2 trillion , and france losses 2 trillion its much more of a hit for France.

Its a hit for absolutely no one until the losses are realized. Its just paper until someone has to sell or the company behind the stocks goes bankrupt.

Right now, all everyone is looking at is 4 years of stock appreciation gone. The appreciation was inflated anyway, so a lot of it had to unwind anyway (by a dividend to stock value measure).
