A mistake in Latest News Forum....Original post..says, Dow Dropped 400 points today..

That is misleading, the Original Post was last Tuesday, December 3rd, not today December 10..Take a look and you will see that the headline is misleading..That news is a week old.

Here is the exact first sentence....

U.S. equities sank on Tuesday after President Donald Trump suggested he may want to delay a trade deal with China until after the 2020 presidential election.

and guess what ...? Today is Tuesday....

That is my opinion. Go to Latest News, and look at the list of posts. A person is led to believe that this is ....
....Today's News......only when someone opens up that post and reads the post does one realize that it is ....
not today, but last week...
