Why are they going up so much?  Did they find a cure for the coronavirus?

VIX is the volatility index.  It goes up when market volatility goes up.

I recommend checking out CNBC once in a while if you don't now.  They compress a lot of information into little manageable bites.

That seems bad. Hopefully you don't do the boner move and invest much in your own employer.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Oh, don't worry, I'm well aware that investing in my employer is a boner move.

The rout continues in morning trading on the Asian markets.

Quote

In morning trading Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 was 9.7% lower, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong was down by 6.9%, and China's Shanghai Composite had lost 3.4%.

Agreed, Cramer is cute, especially when he gets angry.

My employer seems to have a beta of 2 when the stocks are going down, and a beta of 0 when the stocks are going up.  :(

Trump gives a conference in 2.5 hours or something. Time to buy puts on the entire market?

Good thing I completed our bi-weekly buy orders on Monday.   :P

But I expect a ton more turbulence to come, to be honest.
