Yep looks "like the recession's over" alright. lol

I see you are getting a chance to sleep it off, when you get up can you explain why a short term drop in the stock market is a recession? Doesn't it take 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth to be called a recession?

and inflation higher than GDP growth.

That's guaranteed in 3 weeks.

I didn't bring up the term. JLM did that. See the quotes? I was just rubbing his face in it, so to speak.
I know it was a market correction.

Yeah, your trend of rubbing people's faces in things, hasn't gone unnoticed! :)

Ho ho, Pete, both Dow and TSX are DOWN 1800 - 1900 points this morning. I'm sure a lot of drawers will be getting laundered today.
Yes mutual funds will be shedding value . Lots of retirement dollars out of the mix .

No worries they are starting to climb again. Best advice right now is probably "do nothing". Paper losses are cheap!

This is a great time to buy stocks..

Travel sites, cruise lines and airlines, some have taken a 42% hit, petroleum stocks great buy right now..

Great time when people are in panic over Covid-19 and the Saudi/Russia price war on oil.

There are going to be a few that get stinking rich during this time.
