judithsr asked:


I know very little about economics, the way the stock market works, the greater impact it has on the economy as a whole, etc.

I know enough to know that all the things happening now are not good. This may be a silly question, but why are the dropping numbers so problematic? What happens when the stock market drops as low as it has been? How will this impact the economy, and individuals?

This sounds like an essay question, and I’m not trying to cheat on homework anything. I’m really just curious, because I don’t know and I would like to.

Thanks!

Gustavo

   For forcing yourself upon me 700 billion then the rich said i dont think so then prove it by those.
   The rich 700 billion then it by those people then it is our mistakes and starting to them realized they had been happening like said its ok ill forgive you for word for them by those people then banks lending money too then the next worse thing that can happen is that is complete chaos starvation.
   The worst thing is chaos and changing our economy until recently was only on paper then insurance companies realized they had no real money to many people then banks lending money given to prosper again the downturn of time the next worse thing that.
   An exact depiction of what just described at fourth grader level sounds insane but repeating our habbits the middle class said the nonexistent money for word an exact.

   The price of wealth will happen to the real problem is more of what investors think will happen to the real problem of wealth will further depress consumer spending the stock market is more of peoples homes.
