The meltdowns are in D&D. Here in GBS, we try to make the best of every situation.

e: a good motto for GBS might be something like "Hey, look on the bright side!" or "It could always be worse, so why not just kick back and have fun!" or "There's no such thing as a good situation, so w/e!" or maybe "Hey, guy! Pass me that syringe!"

I don't even know what I believe anymore other than everyone else is wrong.

Good thing, because the whole idea of belief is to hold on despite evidence and logic, and to use logic to play mental games to disqualify anything that might shake your belief

It wouldn't help, you're just delaying the inevitable. The same thing happens whenever something major happens after Friday close, everyone just waits until Monday to take a poo poo on their stocks.

Yeah there's trading halts but you wanna be careful about how often you throw them out there because if investor confidence in your market tanks (which it will if you are having to manipulate the market a lot) then as soon as the trading halt is over they'll just all sell off anyway.

Or you could be China and just straight publish a list of tickers that you can buy but not sell (if you are a big investor with millions not some random citizen with $20k).

It's true that it delays the inevitable but it's also true that sometimes people need to step back and take a deep breath (which is why the trading halt exists as a tool to be used sparingly).

That's what I was thinking. People can be irrational and that's why we have governments. Put the breaks a bit so they see the sky's not falling
