Welcome to the NFN Radio News Podcast, brought to you by Not Fake News.biz. I’m your host, Bob Gatty, founder and editor of Not Fake News. So, the stock market had a nice bounce back yesterday, gaining back more than half of Monday’s 2,000-plus point loss caused by concerns about the coronavirus and other oil-related jitters. Why did it rebound? Because investors liked hearing that Washington is working on a plan of economic assistance to help individuals and companies affected by the virus. Incredible to me that Trump’s biggest concern seems to be the ECONOMIC impact, not the fact that people are getting really sick and some are dying…but that’s just me. But I don’t think the optimism is very well founded. This is an election year and the politicians in charge of Washington these days haven’t exactly proven that they can act responsibly in the interests of the American people, not just in their own political interests. And, apparently, Wall Street investors, having had some time to digest all of this over night, decided they don’t trust Trump or Congress and the market hit the skids again today, giving back all of yesterday’s gains by lunchtime. Here’s the report from Not Fake News.biz written yesterday, March 10, 2020. Who knows what will happen next. Better Economic News, but Beware
