Probably the hardest question out there. I'm not saying that the stock prices aren't real, they absolutely are as they reflect what the buyer is willing to pay. The question becomes how many buyers are left in the market at these prices. When the markets are high and non-financial types get in that is a big signal that the number of buyers is thinning out at a given price range and the market is in a late-stage bull market. Investment wise, excluding a simple preservation of capital strategy, the trick is to find where the herd is in the early stages of moving to or will be moving to.Ok, so what's your alternative?
I bet some are trying to short it. Be a shame if it went all GameStop.I bought some Tesla today because the Marxists are trying to tank it. Fuck them.
Can't argue with that sound financial analysis.I bought some Tesla today because the Marxists are trying to tank it. Fuck them.
I’m glad I didn’t short gold a year ago, lol. I stopped physical purchases around $2,300 per ounce since I feel I have enough accumulated.I’m feeling pretty good about sinking almost 30% of my investments into physical and paper gold the last couple years…usually capped it at 10%, but started putting in backstops (hedges against inflation) when I got serious about my second retirement last summer.
My problem is that those investments have grown much faster than the rest of my portfolio, so now I’m over invested in gold, and to a lesser extent silver. My primary paper gold vehicle is up 59% FFS!

Gonna be a wild ride…
Need to get back into the market, but honestly nervous about taking any gambles right now, so just gonna rebalance into a couple broad, market-based funds.
Edit: but with gold appreciating at this rate (well, actually it’s just the dollar and other currencies devaluing so quickly I suppose), why switch horses?

I’m honestly torn…I know I need to get back to a more balanced portfolio, but it’s hard to jump off this train right now.
Good problem to have I suppose…
The article says it is not a slowdown.
Things are about to get very slow here in Michigan.
This article has a lot of fear mongering in and falsehoods:
The point of the post was the headline.This article has a lot of fear mongering in and falsehoods:
“This uncertainty has started to show up in some sluggish economic data, which further pressured stocks by heightening recession fears.”
Economic data is backward looking and there haven’t been any tariffs implemented yet. If anything, future demand in manufacturing has been pulled forward due to the stocking of raw materials and finished goods in anticipation of this event and have made the past months look better than they otherwise would. The economic softness was already there since it takes 12-18 months for economic policy to evidence itself in the macroeconomic environment. They are writing an article to twist stock fluctuations into a current economic event. The downturn was baked into the cake a while back, and it is compounded by the US consumers’ record debt levels, creating a situation where they simply cannot afford to keep buying things they don’t need on credit.
These people need to go back to econ101. Maybe pre-algebra.
Good thing I didn’t give any. You should read beyond the headlines.The point of the post was the headline.
