If you were a bookie setting the opening line for the over/under on the Dow closing value for Friday March 27th, what would it be?

I say 17200

My guess is it goes below that figure during the week, but closes above it on Friday.

Covid19 is just going to get worse and worse the entire week and the numbers of deaths and sicknesses I expect to be shocking, so I'm optimistic I'll be pessimistic. I'm hoping I'm not one of either, but have to wait a week to see if somehow I was spared.

Idealists Dems just ensured that the DOW crashes very hard tomorrow.

I wonder how many dems still feel that open borders is a good idea? LOL!

I wonder how many pretentious snobs still feel that closing the borders is racist and xenophobic?

Not sure. I think everyone knows something will get passed. It should be priced in. Maybe a short lived spike right after the announcement.

I am guessing it will close Friday around 17,800.

@18000 in answer to OP

IIRC the worst ever, 1929 dow high to 1932 dow low, was a drop of 83%, if that % happens again* we'll go down to about 5000 dow

I'm willing to make a large wager that we won't see that this time [might see 50% though]. Would I wager that we won't see 5 digits go to 4 digits? Yes, but not such a big wager

50% down will be around 14,500

There's a ton of support where the market bottomed out today - Nov16 territory. the low 18,000s are going to be very hard for the market to break through from a technical standpoint. Factor in fundamentals and outside/political influences and I'd take the over on a weekly close in the 17s. Other than minor support in the 14s and again in the 11s, it's a pretty straight shot down from 18200ish to 6000ish (down to 2008/2009 lows). So here's hoping the support at 18200 holds and/or that fundamental traders win out in the coming weeks.

Today wasn’t so bad, especially since it was predicted to be an ugly Monday. Futures for tomorrow are up.

This is the first sign of any stability in my view. If we could just stay somewhat flat for a couple more days it could be significant.

I think there’s at least more news/sentiment of balancing the virus containment with a functioning economy. More leaders acknowledging we can’t just let the economy implode.

Yes today is shaping up to be a good day for the markets. Overnight trading has markets up significantly. Problem is they can move 500 hundred points in an hour so who knows where things will be by the end of the day. This is turning out to be the worst week and getting worse for the Covid-19 virus in the USA so the markets should be under pressure near the end of this week. Until we get some good news and people back working the markets will have more down days than up.

Gonna be a million soon. I've changed my tune, but I'd be personally scared. It can drop $1000 in 5 minutes. Then back up $2000 in 2, then flat for a week.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th ~1,000 point Dow gain since this clusterflunk of a virus hit us. Each time, the next day, the Dow has cratered.

It's all about follow up. Tomorrow.

In any event....nice day. I bottom fed on some casino stocks the past few days.

Hoping for better times.

Just in case you were feeling good about today’s huge gain...

Here is a list of the twenty largest single day Dow percentage gains. Every one of them is in 1929, 1930s, 1987, 2008 or 2020. Apparently 10% gains are reserved for the Great Depression and a couple other record crashes

ATT has never cut or missed a dividend. At today's price, its yielding about 7.5%. I'm pretty sure I'm a buyer tomorrow. Just not sure how much, yet.
The sad thing is that even after this thirty percent drop, I'm not finding many bargains. Tesla looks good, but
I think it will fall some more.

I strongly disagree. I reckon this is a perfectly defined dead cat bounce. It's what I've been waiting for. Selling into it with a view to going long when we are down about 15% from the recent low.

Dow set to open down 100-200 today. If it ends that way I'd call it a big WIN.

I've been following TSLA very closely over the past few months. I owned 61 shares; 11 were from Solar City. So when it hit around 940 I sold those 11 shares. My cost average on those 11 shares was just over $800 so it seemed like it felt good to lock in the small profit, as for quite a while it was a big loss! Anyway, when I was high on the hog before this crash, I promised wife that "when" TSLA hit 1000 I'd buy her a pair of stupid expensive shoes. I thought it was going to be $1000, but she informed me it would more likely be $1400! I said a deal is a deal. She is still barefoot.
Anyway, I expect TSLA to climb back faster than other stocks. Since it's climb was based solely on speculation anyway, it won't need outstanding hard numbers to become a favorite again. It's around 500. I wouldn't be stunned to see it at 1000 before this time next year.
