What to watch today: Dow futures go positive after Fed details $2.3 trillion in programs

Disney+, which launched five months ago, was doing well even before of the coronavirus pandemic, which is keeping people stuck at home and spending more time online. Starbucks said its fiscal second-quarter profit would likely drop by 47% due to the coronavirus impact, and that it was abandoning its full-year forecast. The coffee chain is also suspending its share buyback program, although it will continue to pay its dividend.

Spirits maker Diageo pulled its 2020 sales and profit forecast, and also suspended its $5.6 billion stock buyback program. However, the company did say it would pay its April dividend as planned. Swiss banks UBS and Credit Suisse will postpone part of their 2019 dividends, bowing to pressure from European regulators. The banks were the last two major banks to make such a move, arguing that their financial positions were strong enough to support dividend payouts.

Dow surges 780 points on COVID-19 recovery efforts as oil prices spike | Markets InsiderUS stocks gained on Wednesday as investors cheered a slowdown in new US coronavirus cases and the White House's early plans for economic recover... Does coronavirus cases slowing = recovery of economic activity? That's the million dollar question. This is ridiculous beyond stupid. The only way to maintain a low infection rate is to maintain social distancing -- meaning no big 'business opening'. Until there is a vaccine this MUST BE the new normal. So why are stocks going WAY up? S&P is 19% off the high and +25% off the low. Entering a bull market while every businesses in the country are bleeding money is truly an amazing achievement.

Is the Dow launching a V-shaped rebound? Stubbornly elevated volatility signals caution, analysts sayWhile investors have little comparable experience in dealing with the effects of a deadly disease outbreak, the U.S. stock market’s moves remain in keeping with past bear market rallies, meaning a retest of the March 23 lows remains an easily imaginable possibility, analysts said. It all depends on how much money Washington will give to NY bankers. That's what the economy has been about for two decades now. It's a 'Bear Market Rally.' Be careful . Earnings are due out, starting next week, and they will SUCK.

Mnuchin says, after announcing yesterday he is seeking an additional $250 billion in small business aid. Yeah because they will print to infinity. They aren't even restricted by needing paper to print on since it's all digital printing and digital inflation. They are doing what they can under a tight timeline, and that’s a good thing. We need to keep the pressure on though, because there is much more to be done. And at the same time - it is very necessary to keep a watchful eye on how these big corporations allocate relief funds. Mnunchin by far has been President Trumps best and most reliable cabinet member
