Just as they always do when something unexpected happens.

Markets hate the unexpected. I'm viewing this huge down as a buy opportunity.

Yeah, have fun with that. I don't think putting money in the markets right now is a great move unless you can afford to lose it all. Granted, that's always the case to some extent.

All? C'mon, the markets are not going to zero. If they did, money would become worthless anyway.

Trump is likely going to be very business friendly, and after the initial shock wears off the markets will recover and move on.

We were already looking rough before Trump, the UK has Brexit, the EU is struggling, China is... who the hell knows. I think we could be in for some historically bad times, and all of this while the Middle East and Northern Africa are burning.

If not for nuclear detente, I'd be pretty concerned about WWIII right about now.
