Stocks sink as nearly 3 million more file unemployment claims
By Sylvan Lane - 05/14/20 10:17 AM EDT

Stocks sunk Thursday after the Labor Department reported another staggering influx of unemployment claims, marking the fourth straight day of losses for Wall Street.

The Dow Jones industrial average was down more than 400 points, falling 1.75 percent, while the Nasdaq composite fell 1.6 percent and the S&P 500 sank 1.7 percent.

The stock market has slipped throughout May after rallying through April despite an onslaught of brutal economic data and rising coronavirus cases throughout the U.S.

It's anyone's guess these days as to what the market is going to do ... I am amazed with the massive unemployment, COVID deaths, Obamagate and everything else going on that the market is still seeing some noticeable upswings.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Stocks rebound from morning losses to snap three-day skid

This is what happens when you write obituaries for people who aren't dead yet.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

From what I've read, the recent skid was caused by the gloom and doom predictions of "experts" if the economy reopens.  Yet, yesterday's rebound occurred in spite of the bad unemployment numbers.    Go figure.  Goes to show the "market gurus" don't know jack.  One never knows what will cause the market to rise and fall.
