Dow plunges more than 1000 points



US stocks have decreased more than 1,200 points in the last two days, as the market's recent downturn gets worse and indices in Asia and Europe also took a massive dip.

The Dow Jones fell 545 points and on Wednesday the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 850 point, which was its worst drop in over 7 months.

This is the sixth day of losses for the markets, as there are signs of a slowdown in the economy and us battle trade with China.

The Nasdaq fell 92 points, or 1.3 per cent, to 7,329.06. The Russell 2000 dropped 25 points, or 1.6 per cent, to 1,550.25.

Now Investors are trying to find out the best place to put their money amid concerns over  slowing global economic growth, but  even though there is a lot going on in the markets, here at EcoCrops International the project we're currently running in Estonia is a Asset-backed investment where you would own the land and trees on  99 Year Lease.

Even healthcare and bank stocks took a tumble on Thursday, the wild selling across the global markets are even hitting stocks considered to be safe havens.

Technology companies, including the likes of Amazon and Apple, continue to slide. Gold made its biggest jump in two years and even safer investments like Utilities and real estate companies sank.
The Forestry investment here at EcoCrops International is similar to real estate but, We are looking at a fixed income asset-backed investment with a minimum return of 17%.

Trumps biomass policy

In 2007 the USA Federal Government passed the US Renewable Fuel Standard which required ethanol blending with domestic oil in large quantities with frequent increases in amounts of ethanol being used.  The bill was passed to reduce the USA carbon footprint and increase the amount of renewable biofuel being used in the USA. Under the Trump administrations, they have been far less supportive of the biomass blending mandate, granting biofuel waivers to major industry players and allowing the trading of biomass credits to develop. Despite the less than active support for biofuel domestically Trump has been pushing his trade negotiators to get big concessions from his Chinese counterparts by asking them to lower their tariffs on biomass in particular biofuel. China's ethanol demand is expected to grow nearly sevenfold as the country prepares to introduce E10 fuel throughout the country next year. E10 fuel is a fuel using 10% ethanol and 90% petrol. U.S. trade negotiato...

China preparing solar farms in Space

Ecocrops internationa l reports that the Stations would orbit 22,000 miles from Earth and would weigh over 1,000 tons, that is 600 tons more than the International Space Station.  They plan to deploy small and medium stations between 2021 and 2025 and a megawatt level satellite in 2030. Space-based solar power has two major advantages over Earth-based solar power:  due to the orbit they can collect energy 24 hours a day, and they collect more energy as the sunlight is not filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere. Under the plans, huge satellites would be put into orbit to collect the sunlight with huge solar rays.  Once the energy is collected it would be sent back to receiving stations on earth as microwaves.  On Earth, these microwaves would be converted to electricity and fed into the grid. Due to the huge size of the satellites, the Chinese are proposing to fabricate with 3D printer technology and then assemble in the Earth orbit with robots. Pang Zhihao, a re...

Markets just saw the best earnings season since the financial crisis, and nobody cares

Even mildly pessimistic guidance has investors spooked amid macro headwinds Earnings for S&P 500 companies grew by 25.8% in the third quarter, the strongest performance since the third quarter of 2010, when companies benefited from very attractive, recession-era comparable earnings. Nevertheless, from the start of earnings season to the close of trade Friday, the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.22% has fallen 2.7%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.49% 1.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.15% 5.5%. “Third quarter earnings were outstanding both on earnings and revenue growth, the percentage of companies beating expectations, and the magnitude of those beats,” Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. But the selloff that accompanied these announcements is a testament to the fact that “Wall Street doesn’t care what you’ve done in the past. It’s all about what you’re going to do next quarter,” Arone said. The pairing of r...
