Markets plummet on one of their worst days of the year, as recession signs emerge around the world

President Trump��s trade war, slowing growth in Europe and China, and other economic turmoil sent investors fleeing stocks and into safe havens such as gold and long-term government bonds.

The Dow Jones industrial average plummeted about 800 points, or about 3 percent, Wednesday.

US treasury bills just fell off a cliff, just like China wanted

30 year long bond is all time low of 2.0139%

that means if you purchase one and rates rise 1% you are down 21%

bond market says the days of rising rates are over as the US government will once again have to step in and float everyone's boat with free money.

capitalism no longer works

The plan since Raygun, was to concentrate all the wealth in the hands of the few at the top. They are right on schedule. Every time the markets crash, the rich buy up all the stock from the poor bozos who are losing their shirts. Every crash is an engineered one.

Anti Trumpites finally got a story out that hurts Trump's economy, it will be short lived once the China deal is sorted out, deal is pretty much done, just waiting on an agreement to keep the deal in compliance.

Who says the US is going to get a good deal? They haven't done so, up to now, during the Trump years.
