Nope. Film production and Box Office are two completely different things. Film production is where they make the films. Box Office is where they show the films.
How much income are you losing to the covid-19 pandemic?

True.... but no new movies means nothing for theaters to show. Either way, everything is shutting down, all food and entertainment will be affected. Really not reading these headlines all that closely because they are all saying the same thing- Its the end of the fucking world.

I understand your reluctance to engage me because it hurts your head to have to think.
Squirrels are one possibility, but obese neighbors are a much better option. A little cooking oil, bone meal for the spring crop, what's not to like?

Slaves that turn in disobedient slaves will get an increase in their rations and "free" toilet paper.

Black Monday 2.0 here we come, its going to be even worse than 1987.

Measuring stock gains and losses in dollars is an incomplete equation though.
The value of a dollar (purchasing power) has historically dropped due to currency expansion, so unless "inflation dollar" adjustments are used, it is difficult to measure. A dollar doesn't have fixed purchasing power value.

Thats why I look at the market in percentages not points.... 1987's black monday was only a loss of 508 points but that was 22.61% of the market at the time. I think we could pretty easily do worse than that today.

Real value is subjective. Government subsidies, regulations and licensure (barriers to entry, cronyism, false scarcity etc. ) all are factors that effect "stock market values. When / if they fluctuate, or are subsumed by other regulations another variable is involved that impacts "value", beyond what would have occurred had those factors not existed or shifted.
Bottom line, stock markets don't accurately measure actual value, since they attempt to tabulate commodities subject to factors which are outside of an actual free market supply and demand model, hence skewed and subject to purposeful manipulation.
If "money supply" can cause stock market fluctuation, the people who control money supply have an ace up their sleeve.
I suggest a toilet paper backed money system, much better to wipe your ass with than paper money and can be used for blowing noses.

I think part of that was because after hour trading was so bad, it was down 5% before it even opened then another 5% was lost in the first 10 seconds. It seems to have stabilized, down 10% of course. Many more days like this to come. Put on your seat belts, its gonna be a rough ride.stock market closed down on less than 1min of trading today.......

Dow Jones Average, the last three days of trading.
Most of the big drop this morning is due to the run-up in the afternoon of the prior trading session on Friday. It is a sign of market manipulation from some big actor, maybe government, maybe a bank, maybe Trump Enterprises, IDK. A lot of people automatically make regular distributions into their 401k on payday (most times that's on a Friday). They didn't get the good price. The little guy got screwed again. Anyway, it's overall down but not the big deal that Foghorn Leghorn types like @JoeBlow5823 are saying it is. The rough ride is for people who listen to blow hards like him.
Don't sell unless you need the money or you can't stand the idea of losing more. If you do feel you need to sell, just take part of it out of the market. Maybe 20%. If you want less exposure to stocks, take the emotion out of it, plan on taking more out later on a set date in the future -- say two months from now. You can always change your mind then. That's not exactly a revelation but it's true. It's not a rough ride. Fuck that idea.
