#1 This article is total rubbish! The market pullback or sell-off is due to investor's concerns over inflation and the looming probability of recession.

#3 Walmart and Target retailers gave sucky reports the last two days - not Delta Variant. Remember, Guardian is nearly always wrong - in one direction

#4 Article was written in June, 2021 when it may have been accurate and inflation was not destroying the US economy. I'm no fan of the Guardian but this isn't written in today's events

#8 What was going on then....

#10 Bitcoin type "currency" is plunging as well.

What is it? I don't know what it is. I will tell you what it isn't. It's not a washing machine, a house payment, a gallon of gas, a new lawn mower.....

Appears to be ideas or pure speculation. I've seen speculation in the oil patch. Lots dry holes and lost investments.

#12 Wall Street paid lots of money to get rid of Trump. How's that ROI going, guys?

#13 The pullbacks from the descent curve are "short-covers" and "sucker-plateau's" for a raging Bear Market. Way far away from the trough!

#14 Why would anyone think this is CoVid caused and not a reaction to bad fundamentals?
