If it ends at -10% or more we'll have 2 of the 5 biggest percentage losses in history within the week, with the 4 biggest net losses in history within a week and a half almost being guaranteed.
yeah that's my safety play
while we wait for the market to recover might as well get paid rent money
As someone who doesn't really understand this stuff...
What is triggering this downward fall? I recognize COVID-19 has a ton to do with it...But what is the actual reasoning? People not spending money and profits dropping? People selling because they need money and lowering the value of the stock? I just don't quite get it.

Market is sentiment, and sentiment is doomsday-level bad. It'll get worse as we get more hard data on how bad things are.
They can and they will.
Poor US response, slowing of economic cogwheels, market horribly inflated (hundreds of billions of dollars in stock buybacks boosting market valuation), 12 year bullrun, etc. We have millions living paycheck to paycheck who lost their jobs, unemployment is going to go above 15%, what is going to happen? Can't go see movies so theatre revenue goes to zero, etc.
Any downturn was going to be an excuse anyway.

UAL is down FOURTY PERCENT in one day!
Delta not doing much better at -37%
It's crazy to even think this is a possiblity, but I will buy shares if they hit $10 because at that price why not buy a dozen?

What are the implications of halting trading? Besides the obvious that there won't be any trading if the market is closed, do companies that are falling appreciate it if the market is closed?
A lot of factors, the biggest is probably a rush to get out ahead of an expected recession. People are taking money out of stocks because they expect a massive economic downturn due to the slowdowns caused by COVID-19. This slowdown is going to affect nearly all industries so you're seeing broad selloffs.
If DAL hits $10 I would buy all I can afford. I know there's no sure thing, but that's the next thing to it.
it's there to slow things down and let the market catch a breath
usually just reopens and keeps dropping lol
Yea, if stocks closed at their current values then they'd need to lose an additional 50% to hit $10.
Not entirely out of the realm of possibility given the lock down is tightening.
reits consist of rental property. if there is no lessee the lessor cant make money. the lessee is now bleeding money but once they are bankrupt and nobody rents the property because it doesnt make sense... well.
Holy shit I bought a couple yolo-fuck-around puts on SPY $200 with an expiration of 3/20 yesterday and more than doubled my money. I only spent a total of $120 yesterday and now they're worth like $300.
For the uninitiated, that options contract would make sense if you expected the S&P 500 to drop 20% within three days. I would say it doesn't make sense but it's happening.

I want to spend my some of my emergency money and invest for long term, not to get rich quick, but I'm too afraid with the uncertainty.
The fascinating thing is seeing all the news thinking that this is a long term rally. Like literally
and several times of the year at that until a vaccine is found. Which could actually take 18 months to two years.
The feds will inevitably bail them out before bankruptcy is considered.
If you don't play the every lady game you will be fine. The marke tie cyclical this much is very clear. Pretty much but something than don't worry about it til ten years before retirement . By that point start moving it to safer investment vehicles if the market is favorable to cash out then.
If there comes a point where the market is no longer reliable in the long term reliable then we have more things to worry about other than stocks. Things like 'food', 'clean water', not getting killed by a marauding tribe of heavy metal fans, or humanoid predators feasting in docile future humans they bred for food etc.
But will they go bankrupt after the bail out?
edit: If bankruptcy is targeted around May for major airlines, and this virus is suspected to have an impact for the next ~18 months.....
only invest what you can afford to lose
but fuck if these prices aren't good
How is the market going to stay open during this? When half of the country's businesses are in mandatory closure the market will do nothing but plummet.
S&P only down 8.6 right now, first stoppage was at 7%, next one will be at 13% if it gets there.
How did I miss the 7% breaker? I thought it stopped at 10%, too. Thanks, all!
I don't think we'll stop the dead cat streaks until we get smaller drops tbh, these huge drops are just too inviting.
I don't understand why the DOW doesn't just drop to 5000 and stay there until things start looking up.
