They have no problem bailing out the rich and large corps but when it comes to helping the middle class and the poor suddenly we cant afford it. Smh our systems are backwards. Bail out the people and the markets will do well!

why the lady economist in this video not wearing a mask? At least this will make the viewers aware that COVID-19 is real and not a conspiracy theory.

Well Paul Samuelson said that stock markets move in tandem 9/10 times. Note- not always it indicates the economy.

Moreover basic speculation or a capital gain happens if the price rises. Stock markets includes long term investment and most of them invest now as the price will be lowest and gain a higher return after 5 years from now.

Thank you. "Lord! Turn the distressing cares of Thy holy ones into ease, their hardship into comfort, their abasement into glory, their sorrow into blissful joy, O Thou that holdest in Thy grasp the reins of all mankind! Thou art, verily, the One, the Single, the Mighty, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise." ~ Abdu’l-Baha, Baha'i Faith
