Financial analysts: "No it wont happen, we have circuit breakers, we have fast computers"

"I don't think it's gonna happen".

March 9-16, 2020: -7, 500 (-30.9%)

[Kevin_Roche]

1987: 508 points, worst crash in History.

2020: 508 points, we call that Thursday.

[DrRockso]

And here we are again on Black Thursday.

Oh boy, remember when 500 hundred points was a financial crisis and not just a normal Thursday?

Those dips are so tiny in comparison to the rally omg

[kevinmartin]

Well the market corrected in 2020, two years later, what nobody expected was the fast rebound.

Central bank intervention is all but expected. That's the problem right there!

[Bunjee]

Good job at getting both sides of the story. Try including some bears next time
