  1. Michael Deierhoi The politicians were paid off all those years, just like with the bailouts in 2008 and today.

  2. No more corporate bailouts. They stole our money in 2008 and they're out to steal more this time.

  3. Republicans have been the big deficit spending party since Reagan.

  4. Globalists are the .1% who don't care about anything but giving themselves more money. They have no sense of loyalty to their own country.

  5. Of course they're plugging stocks, that's how they're rich.

  6. Costs too much in U.S. to make products because CEO's are way overpaid while the creative product people are underpaid. The Chinese did what the Japanese did before them... high tech education followed by copying existing products, then make cheaper, then make better products.

  7. I believe capital gains should be taxed as ordinary income. As a matter of fact, I believe there should be a flat tax, no write offs and let the markets decide.

  8. Mohamed is too optimistic, or maybe he doesn't want to admit to himself how bad things will get. If the Federal Reserve keeps buying everything, we will essentially become a communist country where the government (Federal Reserve) owns everything or has its fingers in every aspect of business picking winners and losers. Right now the Federal Reserve is at the edge of losing complete credibility. When credibility is lost, the dollar will collapse and be dumped as the reserve currency. Then the U.S. will have a worthless currency and we will never recover.

  9. More money for speculators to drive markets up and down. Fun, fun, fun. The Federal Reserve hasn't figured out yet that they're causing more instability in all the markets.

  10. vietimports Actually, not. In 2008 India had little debt and wasn't so badly effected. China pulled itself out and was kind enough to absorb the inflation the Fed was causing, which it won't do now. In reality, China has a much larger physical economy than the U.S. has. The U.S. has a huge finance sector which produces nothing and absorbs too much wealth out of the economy.

  11. She could devalue the original songs by making a more modern version or offering a better deal for anyone who wants to use a version of her song. Taylor Swift really has substantial control over the value of these old songs and can be as nasty as she wants to be.

  12. daniel li I'm old enough to have lived through the history of Chinese development and the middle class and poor getting screwed in the U.S. You obviously have no idea how almost everyone in the 1970's had a decent pension, social security and students graduated with almost no debt. Yes, a lot of stuff cost more relative to people's incomes. I don't fault China.

  13. Where is the Indian modern public transportation and efficient farming sector?

  14. Countersuit against lawyer for costing Tesla money.

  15. So what? That's how capitalism is supposed to work. It's not like the oil or equipment will disappear. New U.S. drilling companies will form after the price of oil goes up again.

  16. Reckless dollar creation by the Federal Reserve is causing inflation to go up higher than salaries and productivity. Federal Reserve is run by financial idiots or only care about pumping up the stock market.

  17. Trump is the one who refuses to put professionals in charge and follow the recommendations of the professionals.
    3
  18. Something like that

  19. Cheap money in the US keeps marginal companies going and people are more likely to borrow more to keep spending. It's all fine until demand slows down like in 2008 and the economy collapses.

  20. Trump is a real socialist. What happened to free market capitalism?
    3
  21. It's like a Trump real estate deal... bankruptcy.

  22. Sam Spiller U.S. is self-sufficient in oil. We were not attacked. Saudi Arabia needs to take care of its own business.

  23. Canada looks better every time a Republican gets elected in the US.

  24. As a lifelong loyal Democrat... time to switch parties. Democrats are too far off the deep left and entering la la land.

  25. Elon Musk has teams creating products. That sort of collaboration requires the team to be together in the same room on a regular basis. It doesn’t work well via work at home software.

  26. Theaters aren't going anywhere. If they all go bankrupt, someone else will come along, buy them and restart the theaters. As a matter of fact, that applies to all these whiney corporations. How about cutting credit card rates?

  27. You don't understand about vaccines. This partial virus does not replicate.
    3
  28. Does the Chinese government know the virus mutates because it escaped from a Chinese lab? Is that why they know where it came from and the extreme response?
    3
  29. Trump or Xi?
    3
  30. The Fed's job is not to maintain stock prices. It's to maintain the value of the dollar and employment.

  31. Korn Pop Obama hasn't been President for years. Trump has been president for years. Move on.
    3
  32. Trump supporters, don't believe this. Put your money in stocks and load up the credit cards. Everything Trump is all right.

  33. Don't want war, don't start a war. Iran did not attack the U.S.

  34. The future is electric, car companies in Europe will be coming out with interesting electric models within two years.

  35. Did you think stocks were like a magic casino that always paid out?

  36. The Fed is not there to protect investors, it's to protect the value of the dollar and the economy

  37. SB Real estate is not a magic money machine. Investments go up, down and sometimes fail. Did no one learn anything from 2008? I grew up in poverty and once had to put cash in envelopes to not spend so I could get out of debt. I put all my money in stocks in 2008 and got out last year because I could see the bubble in the market and excessively high PE ratios and too much debt by government, businesses and individuals. Sorry, I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever.

  38. Wolf German numbers showed 15% of a town with a severe outbreak had Coronavirus antibodies.

  39. Powell got his degree in politics. He’s not an economist and not a business person. Powell is a politician.

  40. I love the word Zombie... "zombie activities". It's so appropriate to what these excessive low interest rates do to a capitalistic market. Zombie businesses, zombie loans, zombie banks... the walking dead are really exist, created by central banks that afraid of a recession to clean things up.

  41. Farming is a business like any other. We need clothing, cars, homes, etc.
    2
  42. Republicans are the big deficit spenders. Clinton was the last President to bring the budget in balance.
    2
  43. He talks reality, very little good news.

  44. Jim B True, when we run out of stuff to sell, the dollar will collapse with nothing to prop us up. We started out the greatest creditor nation in the world with great paying jobs and pensions before Reagan and the Republicans took over, now we're the greatest in debtor nation in the world with few pensions and less great paying jobs with our economic size dropping from #1 to #3 after Europe and China.

  45. Total Fed balance sheet at $9 trillion.

  46. You're asking the same traitorous elite wealthy class who sold out the American economy to China to correct things for the American people? The same class that got their taxes cut without giving up their tax breaks. Or maybe your asking the Washington political elite to give up funneling contracts to themselves so we can rebuild America instead of starting more wars for the contractors sake. Keep dreaming my friend. It ain't gonna happen.

  47. Software runs modern aircraft. Better software and safety features will make flying safer. It's unfortunate it did not happen at Boeing.

  48. Now 500 billion

  49. Sadad is right. We in the U.S. are part of international trade or we're not. We have lost so many industries to other countries because they could produce products cheaper, why should oil producers be immune? They can't compete, they go out of business.

  50. Only if you don't take political, economic and security into consideration. The US and China have totally different political systems. Trade with China has hurt the middle and lower classes by forced competition with poor Chinese. Chinese forced transfer of knowledge from US firms if they wanted to use cheap Chinese labor, eliminated firms economic advantages they once had over China. Now thanks to all that economic and technology transfer to China, they are a greater military threat to the US. So in reality, the US has lost everything to China and only the 1% really gained from open trade with China.
