Yes, Friday saw the S&P 500 fall 2.6%, which is the worst day of the year so far.

Good time to remember that even the best years have bad a day or two (or more).

22 times the S&P 500 gained more than 20% for the year and the average worst day was 3.5%. In fact, there was a day in 1997 it fell nearly 7% and still gained more than 30% for the year.

Trump is insane

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President.

Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview

Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.

Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.

Welker: Do you have evidence?

Trump: All I have to do is look.

Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow

Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.

Meanwhile, GTA mortgage delinquencies have already jumped 57% in a year.

This is the part of the housing downturn most people aren't talking about.
