This was only ever worse 89 years ago
American stocks saw the worst start in April since the Great Depression, as Chinese retaliatory tariffs spooked investors in the world’s largest economy.
The S&P 500 index fell 2.2 percent after the first trading session in the second quarter. This was only ever worse 89 years ago, when it fell by 2.5 percent. Back then, it was a selloff that triggered the Great Depression – the worst economic crisis in US history.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 1.9 percent, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index plummeted 2.74 percent. One of the largest companies listed on the Nasdaq, Amazon, extended its losses following attacks on the firm by President Donald Trump, shedding more than five percent of its value.

So let me get this right .stock market up 7k in less than a year .then Trump takes on the world to correct this country from being abused so it creates a little uncertainty until he gets this straight and this is what we hear
This stock market was Way Over Priced, Huge Bubble, had to come down. We have been warned for Many months for this Major correction. It's not over yet; there's much more to come...
The "insiders" are making more than ever off the rollercoaster uncertainty. 401k holders are left taking the loss.
I call BS on the whole sell off panic. Wasn't something put in place to stop the over exaggerated sell off like what happened around 2009.
The sky is falling! Run! Hide!
