Doc Brown Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 12 hours ago, BillStime said: The Trump economy... in a nutshell. Wall Street's pretty good at pricing things in well in advance so that huge drop you saw in the markets a couple of weeks ago already accounted for the loss in jobs. I wouldn't touch the market now though as we've never intentionally shut down the US economy before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Two House Democrats have introduced legislation that would give millions of Americans $2,000 per month during the coronavirus pandemic. The new bill is called the Emergency Money for the People Act. It was introduced by Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif. In a press release, Congressman Ryan says: “The economic impact of this virus is unprecedented for our country. As millions of Americans file for unemployment week over week, we have to work quickly to patch the dam – and that means putting cash in the hands of hard-working families.” The act would expand relief to more Americans and includes a $2,000 monthly payment to every qualifying American over the age of 16 until employment returns to pre-COVID-19 levels. “A one-time, twelve hundred dollar check isn’t going to cut it,” said Rep. Ro Khanna in a press release. “Americans need sustained cash infusions for the duration of this crisis in order to come out on the other side alive, healthy, and ready to get back to work. Members on both sides of the aisle are finally coming together around the idea of sending money out to people. Rep. Ryan and I are urging leadership to include this bill in the fourth COVID relief package to truly support the American working class.” https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2020/04/15/emergency-money-for-the-people-act-stimulus-bill/ socialism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Quote U.S. crude prices plunged on Monday as traders continue to fret over a slump in demand due to the coronavirus pandemic. The price of the nearest oil futures contract, which expires Tuesday, was the hardest hit, detaching from later month futures contracts with a drop of more than 20%. West Texas Intermediate crude for May delivery tanked 39%, or $7.09, to $11.25 per barrel, its lowest level in more than 20 years. Meanwhile, international benchmark Brent crude futures traded 6.4% lower at $26.29 per barrel. The June WTI contract, which expires on May 19, fell more than 11% to $22.07 per barrel. The July contract was off by 5% to about $28. The front part of the oil futures ‘curve,’ which is the May contract that expires on Tuesday, was hit the hardest since it applies to fuel that’s set to be delivered while most of the country remains on lockdown thanks to the coronavirus. There’s little demand for gasoline from refineries, and storage tanks in the U.S. are nearing their limits. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/20/oil-markets-us-crude-futures-in-focus-as-coronavirus-dents-demand.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are now paying investors to accept bids on their May contracts so they can close their positions without having to take delivery--which they are incapable of.
