I guess the powers to be had no bids in many futures, they should have shut down the market for two weeks like they did in China. the 'market is just the average price of 2019 in the biggest economic event. proof the markets are 'rigged' by the powers to be. gaps down 10% and goes up 15% in the indexes? everybody and traders are on vacation and market makeres close their books..your might was well close the exchange for 2 weeks..that will stop any crashes..it's broken market like trading afterhours in penny stocks ..dept of market vacant. instead of 1000 traders making markets or participating, you have 100 tradrers or none for stocks. you put a market order and it doesn't get filled. in these illiquid markets. and if it does get filled the exhange will bust the trade as its limit down...and halts the market the wall street guys already panicing and asking and beggine the central bank to provide 'cheap' liquidity as they have no cash to buy the stocks. who want to sell. less than 1% of the float is trade in the open market or less than that ..the market is BS anyways. investors don't have to sell or buy if they don't want a 'crash' cause nobody has the cash to buy if everybody wants cash. that is the 'free market' they want to manipulate it.and caused the 'crash. same with these BS stocks crashing from 50 to $3 like scam pot stock or 90 of the stocks. even TSLA and amzn is overvalued ...and inflated. there is no 1 trillion in cash or even 10 billion in the market to buy if they want to sell. like a ponzi scheme you need NEW money and the FED or central bank is the entity to print new money to keep the ponzi scheme going. proof the market is rigged scam and trading is manipulateld and rigiged
Just a correction. It's pathetic how fast people jump to the "close the markets" conclusion with any real increase in volatility. We're only down to May 2019 lows, why the panic? Sounds like you were just long in everything and sour grapes. So you use China as an example to follow, good luck with that.
So basically you only started following markets after 2010 and thought they only went up and every 1% dip was a “buying opportunity” and FAANG would double every 6 months forever. Boo Hoo. New lows coming so get ready
It sorta sounds like complaining, because : - the market is rigged. Yup, welcome to reality. When government print dollars out the thin air, strange things start to happen. Especially when that lasts for decades and banks get bailouts, despite the fact, that their greed was their own doom. - if thou haven't lost money - then why would one care ? - if thou lost money, - then one should admit, that it was his own fault, learn from it and move on. Probably, that's the reason why 160IQ folks gets smashed in this game, - can't get over the fact, that everything was done 100% correct (like in some nuclear physics test), based on facts and still - markets were irrational. Reality gets disrupted. Ego gets hit. Emotional side takes over the rational thinking. And adios amigos to trading/investing account.
