3. Will it be a free fall?

4. Why does Trump still have a job??

Anyone else would have been shitcanned by now for such stupidity.

5. The one to watch is the S&P

If it closes under 5500, the supports are gone

6. Don't they stop trading at some point?

Forgive my ignorance.

7. The three levels of breaks that result in trade stoppages

Level 1: 7% drop triggers a 15-minute trading halt.
Level 2: 13% drop triggers a 15-minute trading halt.
Level 3: 20% drop triggers a halt for the remainder of the trading day.

(this is an all-other-things-being-equal summation, additional factors can halt or suspend trading as well)

9. And under those rules, trading has been halted exactly twice.

And a drop of just over 3% isn't going to trigger a halt.

[LuckyCharms]

8. I think there is a circuit breaker for

total percentage drop in one day.

There are also intermediate LULD (limit up, limit down) circuit breakers for a percentage drop or increase that occurs faster than a predetermined time period (ie: x number of minutes).

10. Biden's last day: "The US economy is the envy of the world"

After 2 1/2 months of Trump: "The US economy is in the dumpster, and a fire has just started"
