Aren't we also free to trade amongst ourselves during a market circuit breaker event?
Yes, but it's much, much slower to trade directly than through a market-maker in the exchange

2% of humanity is absolutely, in no way, shape or form about to die. The Korean numbers are approaching 0.5% case fatality rate, and those numbers continue to fall. It's about the same as the flu, and no, the flu isn't killing 2% of humanity either. Y'all need to settle down and get back to work.
I fully expect South Korea to be an outlier in this respect.
Genuine question: They can just do that ? Issue a trading halt because they don't like the direction it's going ? > “There’s a reason why they have those circuit breakers -- it’s to give people time to come back from panicked feelings,” Seems strange that the market is kinda able to be manipulated like that. I'm not saying this is a bad move, just surprised that someone can do it.
If the price is going to go lower for an organic reason, it will go lower regardless of a brief delay.
So, children of summer (there are many here who have only known the longest bull market in the last century), let me give you some free advice. If you're looking at this and wondering when to get in, to bargain hunt essentially, and you're asking yourself questions like "today? next week?", you need to step back and think again. Some points to consider: - If your time horizon is 10+ years out probably none of this ma…
The market was up over 30% last year, but GDP growth was certainly not 30%.
If you overlap it with the stock market, the only other time in US history where stock continued to go up for multiple years where corporate profit stagnated is 1999. Normally the stock market and corp profits line up somewhat strongly.

On the other hand, it's also possible that the CV will recede in the summer, and that will very likely make the markets bounce back. To quote Carl Sagan, prophecy is a lost art.

As an investor, if you believe the market is going to drop, there are various ways to profit from this. One of the easiest is buying ETFs that move inversely to certain market indexes (shorts them). For example, SH [0] is an ETF that moves inversely proportional to the S&P 500 index. So if the S&P 500 is down 2%, SH goes up 2%. More exciting are the leveraged ETFs that track double or triple the underlying index. SDS…

When China put 10% of the worlds population on travel restrictions, a put on SPY with a strike of 300 expiring this Friday was 29 cents. The optimism is frankly unbelievable.

If your company produced the same product, but for less money. Would the company be worth more?
If your ownership increased via buy back, would your holdings increase in value?
If your debts were financed at a lower average rate would the value of your company go up ? (sort of a sub case of expenses)
These are some of the myriad of ways that a portfolio can move in disconnect from GDP.
