Proposal: Consolidate into "Timeline" section

We should consolidate all the dates into a "Timeline" section so that we can have other sections, some of which could include: • Causes • Responses by Country • Similarities to other crashes etc... Mapmaker345 (talk) 16:02, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal: Add Investor who predicted the crash

I wrote an article on an investor who seems to have predicted the stock market crash that is under review here: Draft:Dan_Niles. If you check the draft I included news articles and sources. Figured it would fit with the theme of Michael Burry who called the crash in 2007-2008 (Financial crisis of 2007–08). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexander2357 (talk • contribs) 19:58, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Change: "In April 2019, the U.S yield curve inverted, which sparked fears of a 2020 recession across the world.[37] The inverted yield curve and trade war fears prompted a sell-off in global stock markets during March 2019, which prompted more fears that a recession was imminent.[38] Rising debt levels in the European Union and the United States had always being a concern for economists. However, in 2019, that concern was heightened during the economic slowdown, and economists began warning of a 'debt bomb' occurring during the next economic crisis. Debt in 2019 was 50% higher than that during the height of the Great Financial Crisis.[39] Economists[who?] have argued that this increased debt is what led to debt defaults in economies and businesses across the world during the recession.[40][41] In September 2019, the Federal Reserve began intervening in the role of investor to provide funds in the repo markets, which would play a crucial factor in triggering the events leading up to the crash; the repo rate spiked above 8% during that time."

  • There's no chain of causation between these points (see sources), and therefore do not grammatically belong in the same paragraph.
  • There is no evidence within the source material that these points are "causes" of the subject of the article, though they are considered as such, and should probably be relegated to a different section. Simmm84 (talk) 04:33, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. Ignore my previous comment; I was confused by the layout of your request (see WP:INDENT - I though somebody had already replied to it). Anyway, in my opinion, the paragraph is proper because all of these events are closely linked in time; separating them does not appear necessary. They're also clearly a part of the background of the situation, even if they're not the immediate cause (maybe a simple solution for this would be to simply remove the "Cause" subheading from the "Background" section. @Simmm84: Thanks, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 13:48, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a good compromise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simmm84 (talk • contribs) 05:48, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Remove "Causes" Subheading from Background Section

The sources for the information under the background heading do no indicate that the provided information is a cause for the stock market crash, and therefore should strictly be considered background Simmm84 (talk) 05:55, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

April - May????

Why is this an ongoing crisis if there is no information on April or May? Could that be because the Market has recovered significantly, i.e. back above 25,000? That Bull market sure didn't last long. As the President said it wouldn't. Subman758 (talk) 15:28, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
