They are doing both.

Governments around the world are doing both.

yea but just thinking the amount is miniscule for the governments compared to the amount going into the markets

e.g. "President Trump announced a state of emergency, allowing the Federal Government to distribute up to $50 billion in aid to states, cities, and territories."

$50-$200billion compared to a trillion+

its a great band. heard of man is b@stard? they r sick !

Yes another great powerviolence band!

Best song to describe market mega bloodbath. Bow down to lucifer!

Slayer - Raining Blood

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquiescence

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure now I shall reign in blood

Never in the field of financial conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

You already know the rational steps to take during a financial crisis: Don’t look at your 401(k) or investment accounts. Don’t stay glued to CNBC or the financial press. And, above all else, do not panic-sell your investments.

And yet: As Mike Tyson put it, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

A generation of investors is experiencing its first genuine financial crisis. For many millennials — including yours truly — no amount of rational thinking can ease the pain of the first time you watch a fifth of your life savings evaporate in a few weeks.

Only hundreds of billions worth of corporate debt defaults? It’s a $74 Trillion market last I checked. Hundred of billions would be an average January, metaphorically speaking.

powell isn't stupid but why is he stupid today? Allowing RRR to be set to 0 is implicitly saying there's a chance some banks dun meet the RRR and for some reason, are so distressed the FED odd to lower the bar for all banks. This is what is spooking me.

Relax, whatever the Fed does now will not calm the markets. So this is not for the markets, this is for the economy. Markets will continue to fall and be volatile until the leverage in the system is wounded down and/or the virus numbers come down.

i think 1/5 is putting it very mildly. considering djia dropped 29% and most millenials go for popular growth stocks, 40-50% is the more likely figure.

I'm very cool. just that for someone as cool and collected as jerome powell, you just wonder what is the sort of signal he is sending to the market.

Okay. If they invest 80% of their cash, it is like 30%

Indeed, the 3 types of people who respond to that are:

The guy who thinks on his feet how to fight back.
The guy who quits the match to fight another day.
The guy who stands there and keeps getting punched.
