RochesterRob Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 While this is a legitimate topic and one that I pondered starting although on a more general basis I don't think the OP should be the one to do it as it will be deleted if he does not like the direction that it is going.

That industry has had problems since I was old enough to remember which is a long time. But yes they should sell some shares but perhaps the fear is given their history that the shares will not be worth much especially at present. 1 hour ago, Tiberius said: Trump administration seeks roughly $850 billion in emergency stimulus to confront coronavirus economic fallout Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to present details to Senate Republicans on Tuesday https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/03/17/trump-coronavirus-stimulus-package/ Who knows if that is enough or not. It would keep US households solvent short term (month) but at this point we do not know what the long term damage is with businesses among other factors. When the stock market hit the wall in October of 1929 it took over 2 1/2 years for the DJIA to bottom out where it lost over 90 percent of its pre-crash value. I suspect it will take years to know the true extent of the damage as the economy is much more complicated than it was in 1929. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Tibs, learn how to use the controls above every post you make. Or are you too lazy to do that? Or do you think that people will think that if it is bigger it's more important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the division is not that simple as not every person will get 2,647 dollars. Much yet to be seen on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
