1. The U.S. stock market crashed four times in a row, and stock god Buffett even called him “witness history.”
A circuit breaker in the U.S. stock market is like a blown fuse in the electricity supply at home. Extreme market conditions will trigger a circuit breaker and suspend trading for 15 minutes.
The Fed’s release of water this time is also unusual. It announced the launch of unlimited QE, which is very powerful.
The epidemic has had a huge impact on the U.S. economy. Even Warren Buffett, the stock god, was shocked. He bluntly said that he would live to be 89 years old and witness the history of U.S. stock market meltdowns.

Oil prices fell for the first time When it broke 30 US dollars, people exclaimed, how can oil be cheaper than mineral water? They are indeed right, because the price of oil is measured against tap water.
Several major indexes on the Shanghai Stock Exchange plummeted, but everyone thought it was true, but it turned out to be false; oil prices on the Chicago Stock Exchange plummeted in the evening, and people thought it was false, but it turned out to be true.
What can I exchange for a barrel of crude oil? A bucket of KFC family bucket.
We have also witnessed the explosion of Bank of China’s crude oil treasure, and the wealth accumulated by those who participated in the investment has shrunk significantly.
This also tells investors not to buy the bottom easily, especially for financial management methods that they do not understand, just avoid them.
