Not long after the markets opened this morning the sell-off tripped the "circuit breaker" that Wall Street uses to regroup. When trading resumed fifteen minutes later...it was still bad. Here are the stories from today:
We hit the skids again today;
Retailers doing "crowd control";
More sports events cancelled;
Ohio public schools...closed;
Toilet Paper...we don't know either;
Cruise lines and phony information;
The surprise Trump Travel Ban;
The Fed pumps more money;
The Wall Street Report;
New developments at Amazon, Twitter and Carnival Cruise Lines.
Those stories plus a visit with Roger Stalheim from The Alternative Board. Every business has "issues" what if there were a way to look at them through the eyes of other owners who...already figured them out. That and more with Roger. You can hear that conversation here.
