All three major US indices (premarket) are down between 2.5% and almost 5%. I read where some analyst called those numbers ‘less than ideal’. To add to the fun, when stocks drop, commodities tend to rise.
But he ‘has a plan’.

That’s a really bad sign. When stocks drop, a lot of investors will put their money into commodities. Instead, they’re running scared from almost everything and keeping their money in a metaphorical mattress. This is practically a blue print for stagflation.

Is pillaging an option? I’m always up for a bit of a pillage.
