#Powell on the dot plot: - Not an FOMC forecast - Not a commitment - Not a plan - No committee discussion on dot plots - Highly premature to discuss liftoff - Dots are not a great forecaster of future rate - There is no “great forecaster”

Wow. Fed Chair Powell says the real unemployment rate right now is "close to 10%" -->same level as the WORST point of Great Recession. "We are still very far from a strong labor market whose benefits are broadly shared," Powell says as he vows to keep interest rates low.

Stunned and speechless (and feel like a complete idiot) that we've arrived at an all-time high $VIX and how quickly the Dow lost 9,000 points. Is #coronavirus more damaging than the 2008 GFC?? If $SVXY hadn't deleveraged in '08, it would've been obliterated days ago.
