Yesterday morning I told you if didn’t like what happened to your retirement account on Friday (when stocks were clobbered on Wall Street in a brutal finish to the worst week in the market in four years, the Dow Jones closing down 530 points, the ninth-biggest point decline in its history), you’ll probably really hate hearing what happened when the Market opened Monday Morning and U.S. equity markets sustained heavy losses at the start of trading as global-growth fears slammed traders across the world as the Great Fall of China sank U.S. Stocks. — Whistleblower Senior Business Editor Merrill Forbes
By Monday’s closing time, U.S. equity markets capped a tumultuous trading day, which began with a 1,089-point plunge on the Dow, solidly in negative territory. At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average wiped out 584 points (3.55%), the S&P 500 dropped 77 points (3.93%), while the Nasdaq plunged 179 points (3.82%). —Fox Business News
China is taking our jobs, they’re taking our money. Be careful, they [China] will bring us down. —Republican Front Running 2016 Presidential Candidate Donald Trump
Meanwhile at The Whistleblower Newswire, we were busy trying to figure out what words we needed to use to describe the current carnage. —Whistleblower Copy Editors
We couldn’t decide if it was a “Collapse,” a “Crash,” or just a “Decline.” — E. F. Hutton & Co.
We couldn’t tell if the Market was in a “Decrease,” was it “Descending,” or was Monday’s dip a really “Deep Dive?” — Paine Webber & Company
We were wondering if we should call it a “Drop,” a “Fall,” or was it a “Nose Dive?” —Goldman Sachs
Could be we say it’s a “Plunge,” is it “Sinking,” “Skidding,” or is all of this just a “Temporary Tumble.” —Dean Witter Co.
How about just calling it a “Monday Morning Market Meltdown?” —Charles Schwab
We told people not to “Panic” because it was only a “Plummet!” —Edward Jones
I think the proper technical and professional word to word to describe Monday’s carnage is “FUGLY.” —Joseph W. Peters, UBS Financial Services Inc.
Monday was really no BFD, because fresh off his 17-day vacation, with the Dow Dropping, Obama received the Presidential Daily Briefing at 10:30 AM, had lunch with Joe Biden at 12:30 PM, and departed the White House at 2:40 PM to hop on Air Force One and fly to Las Vegas for a fund-raiser for the Nevada State DemocRAT Party at a private residence in Henderson, Nevada. —White House Propaganda Minister Josh Earnest
Because neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night would ever stay Obama from the swift completion of his appointed fund-raising rounds. —Late Night TV Comedians
Do you think we should take a poll to see how people think Obama’s doing his job during a “Barack Market?” —Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen
So how could we make sure the Stock Market doesn’t do the same thing tomorrow? Don’t open it! —Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane
