All things considered, it has only been about 3 months since Trump took office, I feel like there is absolutely no way that this was just a single craze and from here things will even out.

I feel like until 2028 (or maybe 2026?) S&P 500 is going to look like a roller coaster.

What do you think?

Almost certain that Trumspki will do something stupid soon and then more stupid shit after that. The S&P will be look like a wild roller coaster.

The thing about the stock market, no one freaking knows. The market has taken horrible dives before and has recovered. I also don’t believe the USA is the only country that should be worried if something does go down. The fact that some experts are saying things could be different may be worrying, but ultimately no one knows. All we can do is try our best to prepare for the worst. I wouldn’t be surprised if the protests continue to grow over the summer months in the USA.

We're hardly even three months in... We've got a loooong way to go before even the midterms.

I mean when it comes down to it the market is a minor concern vs the being grabbed by unmarked people into a van and sent to foreign gulag and then say oppsie made a mistake there and then shrug shoulders and say nothing we can do about it now.

Extreme peaks and valleys are not actually a sign of good things to come.

Sold it all the moment he was declared the next president, I knew shit would happen but I couldn't have predicted this.

To be honest, I thought he would focuse more on racist, misogynistic and conspiratorial things. I knew he was stupid, but I didn't think he was threatening-war-to-allies-making-a-secret-police-crashing-the-economy stupid

Of course. I’m still sitting on half the liquidated stocks + bonds I sold 2 weeks before this whole shit. Buying back slowly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I agree with you and I am trying to take advantage of it. Bought SPY calls @570 for tomorrow. I imagine by Friday it will drop substantially again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The plan is to declare martial law on the 20th.

So we'll see if that effects the stocks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yah, I'll trust him like running into a dog that nipped my hand before.
