Raising interest rates is stealing money from consumers !!

Nothing is sacred for DJ Trump, even the markets!

Blame Trump

I’m afraid to look at my portfolio.

Ain’t see nothing yet. The greatest recession 2019 will knock indexes -50% if trump still in wh.

There’s so many other Countries to trade with,but yet you still trade with China. The only reason they are down people need better wages to buy things. So $16.00 hr you can have a better happier Life . When 100 things are being bought is better then just 10 , Stocks go up .

Thanks Trump Merry Christmas

I wonder how trump's rich friends feel abt him now.

Nothing to do with economy! Political conspiracy!!

Ouch, when USA sneezes Europe gets cold.

This is all because of Trump and this GOP's bad policies. The Republicans only create great depressions and recessions !! Also Trump caused the shutdown and colluded with Russia. TrumpResign TrumpShutdown TrumpChristmasShutdown StockMarket TrumpCrash MerryChristmas

ToluseO FoxNews Does that mean Republicans need to lie more? As I understand it, one day Republican lies are going to make America great again.

realDonaldTrump are you going to own this mess you’ve created? GOP ?

Did you guys report this:

ClosingBell Following many disastrous decisions before (but hey, who would care about lives being shattered?) at least realDonaldTrump and his minions now clusterfuck where it hurts most: money, and lots of it. What does it take to just ditch the bitch?

You guys wanted Trump. ENJOY!

riotwomennn ....but her emails.

Does anyone else get the impression that CNBC is enjoying this toooo much

riotwomennn Look at you go, realDonaldTrump !!!

JuliaDavisNews Luckily I can ride it out. I feel sorry for anyone whose retirement is getting wiped out right now at the wrong time. Trump is not helping. Not one damned bit.

The fed is a minor part of this market implosion. Trade war, tax cut that was a bust, climbing federal deficit, white house chaos bigger reasons for drop. Fed has propped up the market for too long

The WORST Christmas Eve trading day EVER realDonaldTrump

Compliments of realDonaldTrump and Republicans.

Thanks Obama!

Life can’t be all sunshine & rainbows 🙂 we will survive, keep your head & look for opportunity, peace & joy during Holidays to you & yours

Thanks to the Dems and NancyBo, the msm, led by harDwood, then the Fed Burps. Strike Three!

Thanks Fed

How can this happen during infrastructure week?

Thank you Orange Cheeto!

So much winning right realDonaldTrump

When Pres funds & builds this wall & feds stop manipulating economy along with media stopping stoking fires of propaganda; all will be fine!realdonaldtrump

Thank u Fed

I'm sure it is joyful news to all the Leftists conspiring to make this a socialist/comm country with their propaganda using govt shutdown, fed rates, chaos in govt, & sky is falling routine to undermine Economy. Stock market was 800 + prior to Trump's election!realdonaldtrump

Bye Bye, 401Ks!

It’ll be fine

This is Trump's fault! Trump is clueless and destroying everything! Trump must resign and go away!

So much winning!!

Santa, no gifts for Trump.

Look realDonaldTrump You’re 1!

Mueller at the door hence pull out of Syria, crash market, shutdown govt, etc etc etc

Thanks for nothing Trump! Every time a Republican say we need a businessmen as president, I cringe! There best was Lincoln, Eisenhower, Regan and H.W. Bush! But Bush wanted to balance the budget! To much for the talking heads and proof that Republicans don’t care about deficits!

25th to restore competence.

profgalloway We have not “entered a bear market” today: it started since the previous highs early last year. A bear market is a process, not en event.

So much winning! Right idiot Potus? TrumpResign

Have we hit peak pessimism

LibsInAmerica I’m tired of all this winning!

Hey umm for all of you blaming realDonaldTrump, witch there are many things, this isn’t one of them. This would have happened with HillaryClinton.

Finally POTUS realDonaldTrump actually DID make history. Worst Christmas Eve day for the markets in history. All thanks to Donald J Trump.

Tired of so much winning yet

Thanks Trump

TribLIVE And it has absolutely nothing to do with the Feds raising rates for the 7th time in 2 years. Does anyone want o guess how many times it raised raised the previous 8 years?

Yeah a realDonaldTrump tweet isn’t going to collapse an economy. GOP tax cuts to the rich, inflating their own stocks, with no solid assets purchases to prop up the crazy prices. Gee I wonder what’s going to happen?This has been going on for decades. No bailouts this time!

The BEST people.

Maybe realDonaldTrump should hear that! So much winning, I'm tired of it!

Does that even register in Trumps empty mind, it is the worse.

realDonaldTrump did you see this? ALL on you.

We need a president who works more and talk less. Wait! We got the complete opposite. And last time he was seen in the White House with Laddy GaGa glass. MAGA

As forecast by economist....

Can we have a day off, a day of rest.

SPY Facts: All the SPY 500 stocks are down at least 8% from the 52-week high. Average - 30% down. Highest - 72.6% down, lowest - 8% down. Best Performer - RHT. Worst performer - NKTR. Please like and follow if you like my datas. Thanks.

profgalloway Ever since Melanie unveiled those disgusting red trees, the market is down. Thanks crime family.

It doesn’t feel like Xmas this year.

elwasson We didn’t want to retire, NBD.

It's Obama's economy now.

Where is all that money going?

Trying to not think of my 401K like...

I've been calling a bear market since those ridiculous (temporary for all but the wealthiest) tax cuts came out. Make the Middle Class Great Again.

My wife is having Christmas dinner at her boyfriend's familys. I wasn’t invited

MAGA

JohnMelloy So i keep hearing from all these big financial and investment companies that the market is over reacting but aren't they the ones doing the biggest selling? Maybe they need to heed their own comments.

How's everyone's 401k doing? Not looking too healthy, I bet.

NoahCRothman realDonaldTrump, Thanks.

ThanksTrump

NoahCRothman Proof that everyone loses when Trump tweets about the Fed or markets in general. Someone please grab his phone away from him.

HappyHolidays POTUS realDonaldTrump Winning

Dammit. This is not the best timing. Someone please stop Mnuchin from calling people. Between him and the President’s insane tweeting they are wiping out my retirement.

Hey, didn't the Federal Reserve meet last week? I hope they didn't raise interest rates. That would decrease the amount of money in circulation and cause a sell off in the stock market.

Sounds terrible for you people that gamble on the stock market

Why do I feel like *some* people just made bank on this downturn...

'The reason our stock market is so successful is because of me. I've always been great with money, I've always been great with jobs, that's what I do. And I've done it well, I've done it really well, much better than people understand and they understand I've done well.'

therealDonaldTrump GOP I'm thinking this fiasco needs to be placed where it belongs. On the idiot in the WH and the GOP members who in spite of the idiocy he has perpetrated on the American public still support him.

luvnewinfo Engineered by fed to attack trump. The anti trump machine wants to be able to call him a failure and are willing to subvert any area of governement to do that. They are sick sick sick

99999sv On the bright side, Gas prices at the pump are getting much, much cheaper. That's very stimulative for the consumer. And it Real stimulus! Not Fed induced inflation bubble nonsense.

Bear dumbs saying bear market next week Bull is back lol

One more investigation, Trump and his minions are manipulating this to have earnings.

And democrats are cheering, hoping for a recession just so Trump looks bad. You people are sick. The truth is that while the markets fluctuate, Americans will go about their business. The market is sliding with no real cause. Low UE and high GDP should be good, right?

Capitalism sure is fun.

Feds began the landslide and basically (intentionally) destroyed confidence, amid zero inflation, stable prices and a booming market

TribLIVE Somehow it will be up 5% on the day fidelity records my 401k contribution though.

This is all yours, Donald. You own it!!

I can't handle all the winning!😂😂

realDonaldTrump is a failure. Just a con man. Wake up America.

Meanwhile BITCOIN is bullish.

Another record for Trump. MAGA winningatloosing

WHAT GOES DOWN MUST COME BACK UP

Should we shutdown the market until government is open again? shutdowns

Couldn't agree more - stock order imbalance ratio on market close is staggering 1:5; so for every buyer looking for a bottom fishing, there is 5 sellers trying to exit the market.
