Stock market

The stock market is crashing, are some banks also going to fail, like in 1929?

Is the stock market still overpriced? How much further to crash?

When will there be a bottom? A rebound?

China collapsed in the 19th century and it wasn't due to communism..

Societies can collapse for more than one reason. Extreme socialism pretty much guarantees an eventual collapse.
 
Yes, I know the fed lowers interest rates to inflate the stock market. I was just thinking they might do this also. And probably other sneaky things.

Feds don't really lower (or raise) the interest rate to influence the market. Feds do it to influence the economy. Lower interest rates mean more purchasing power.

I know that, however it also forced people into the stock market. They must have foreseen that, I guess.
 
Dow roars back from coronavirus sell-off with biggest gain since 2009, surges 5.1%

Stocks rebounded sharply from their worst week since the financial crisis on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting its best day in more than a decade. Expectations that the Federal Reserve would cut rates drove the gains, which accelerated aggressively into the close.

The Dow closed 1,293.96 points higher, or 5.1%, at 26,703.32. The move on a percentage basis was the Dow’s biggest since March 2009. It was the largest-ever points gain for the 30-stock average.

The S&P 500 climbed 4.6% — its best one-day performance since Dec. 26, 2018 — to close at 3,090.23. The Nasdaq Composite also had its best day since 2018, surging 4.5% to 8,952.16.
 
Why would it not work like that? Your comment is hardly helpful. Foreign central banks are allowed to buy US stocks. The US central bank can create as much money as it wants. The US central government can give money to foreign governments.

that would also make the US dollar near worthless...the more money circulating the less it has value.
