Markets rose even as the tally of confirmed new coronavirus cases worldwide topped 20 million, according to Johns Hopkins University. On top of the rising number of coronavirus counts around the world, uncertainty has grown with widening antagonisms between the United States and China, the world’s largest economies. The latest move in their escalating tensions was China’s announcement of unspecified sanctions against 11 U.S. politicians and heads of organizations promoting democratic causes, including Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.On Monday, the S&P 500 rose 0.3%, to close at 3,360.

Time to short the market. Schools opening (and then closing), colder weather, and Biden winning are going to force another US shutdown.

They need to release the $KODK report. This is partisan horses*** and the company’s reputation is on the line. Ridiculous.

Thank you President Trump!!!

The inevitability is just a matter of time...

To Troubled Trump, Grifter Family, Lapdog Minion$, Corrupt Cronies... Rich get Richer! PEOPLE ARE DYING! PEOPLE ARE SICK! PEOPLE ARE JOBLESS! PEOPLE ARE DESTITUTE! PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS! DON THE CON'S DEFICIENCIES & DECEPTIONS DRIVE DEFICIT HIGHER & HIGHER! THE 'KIDS' WILL PAY!

Ultra rich people & corporations grabbing money off the backs of the dying. Working families denied and demeaned. Time to overthrow the king, again.

What does this mean to the avg person?

We don't get it. Is this obvious disconnect tween stocks/company earngs vs 30M+ unemployed & many strugglg to pay basic bills, indicative of how the 99% gives our all (includg our lives) to benefit corporations & the 1%? Is this real? How can stocks keep go'g up in recession?

AP, The President incites violence & racial hatred. He IGNORES: *166,201 DEATHS, 1000/day *30 million unemployed that have lost their company’s insurance *Company Bankruptcies *Home Foreclosures *Families being evicted Who exactly is the base Voter he’s going after OR IS HE...

And so the rich keep getting richer... smdh

People are dying

Somethings SCREWED about this !!!

This disconnect seems to be a world-wide phenomenon.

I'm sure the families being evicted are so relieved to hear this.

There's a total disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street.
