Munchkin's tweet wiped off over $650 Billion from the Wilshire 5000 today And pushed that index into a bear market, by my reckoning it closed down over 20% today (from its all time high). The total market cap index is down over $6 Trillion since making that all time high 3 months ago.
This is correct. For the unknowing and non-believers, read all about it directly from the Fed... https://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/feds/2007/200713/200713pap.pdf

ZIP. NONE. it was on its way to 2325 area tomorrow like a magnet as some traders call it.
Media stunt. Grab attention, imply the serious nature of this selloff, a jab at Powell, a headline for Main Street supportive of Trumps anti fed stance. This story was probably "leaked" to most special, favored scribes at prestigious financial bastions like ZeroHedge. It could be fake news. The Maestro should speak next.
Let me take a guess why Mnuchin released the statement about the plunge protection team. It is Christmas and he is trying to show that he is working on Christmas to his boss. It's a trick that all of us, normal working folks, do to impress the boss. This is particularly timely since the government has shut down. Nobody is working but I am working. Any boss would have been impressed! No need to read too much into it.
