If the Dow drops 700 points because there's a chance that peace not war will occur than that is proof the U.S economy is broken and corrupted beyond belief.
I think, for me, it is more of an indication that market makers and institutional investors are just as out of touch with reality as the USA Government the past six or so years. Also, I do remember brow melting movements intraday during the 2020 bull market pre-covid19 during Trump's first term as well. I remember seeing unrealized profits from two days ago dissolve to red and return to black the next day. IMO, short term gains shouldn't be the focus in a Trump administration but buying dips on strategic, meaningful, companies that are being slept on are the better route. My criteria generally is, How likely is this company to gain Government contracts, how useful is the product produced to the masses and not just the luxury class (Apple), things like that.

Edit:
Not to get darker either but tragedy/defense companies warrant a little more slice of the pie in your portfolio. Not a lot, but just enough.
 
The attitude that the stock market is a magic machine where everybody gets something for nothing is retarded. If you gamble (aka ((("""invest""")))ing), and lose, you're not entitled to whine about Orange Hitler demolishing your portfolio. YOU put the money there.

It's a giant shell game, and the moral system of "shareholder loyalty" is ultimately responsible for the competency crisis, and woke bullshit in all of our media.

ETA: It also incentivizes planning around financial quarters, and this has completely kneecapped long-term planning in our economy.

I bought the dip last week when dipshit Jr. told me to and lost $400. There’s no point in buying a dip if it doesn’t go back up.

This has nothing to do with the war. It's about the tariffs he is levying on our biggest trading partners.

Goods are going to shoot up in price worse than it did under Biden if those tariffs go into effect tomorrow.
 
I swear to god I love you orange man but if it's another retarded nothingburger or a memecoin...
... Oh! That sounds legitimately good.
I get so tired of people saying "were giving up our soft power"

WHAT POWER? when was the last time any other country listened to us without us invading? We can't even get Europe to buy our cars.

Our soft power means nothing. Europe doesn't listen, no middle eastern shit hole will listen.

We have no soft power, that's just an excuse to endlessly support European freeloaders.

We have a military to fuck up someones day when people fuck with us, we don't need "soft power", and we don't have it anyways
"Soft power" just meant exporting globohomo values. That most western nations went tranny and nigger crazy does show that this shit works and too damn well. Though it has a tipping point and in non fagged up nations without white guilt it's water off a duck's back.
I’m struggling to understand how Zelensky isn’t relevant to US politics given the happenings of the past week.

Can you elaborate further? If Zelensky were to continue being an autist in a way that affects US policy or diplomacy shouldn’t that be on topic even if Trump doesn’t respond directly on X?
I'd say it's less being relevant or not and more that when the topic comes up somebody delivers their unsolicited opinion about the Ukraine Russia conflict.
Somebody's a sarcastic little boy!

I wanna point out that there is a 100% chance there is a 40yo man out there who has been called a nigger and a faggot by the VPOTUS and future POTUS J.D. Vance on a match of Halo 2.

This dumbass just killed the economy.

The Stock Market has been decoupled from the real economy for decades. GDP is not really a good metric for prosperity. Things will improve calm down. I for one am looking to buy some OKLO at a discount and put a order in for shares at 25 USD.
 
I don't understand??? You actually zoomed out, told him to zoom in, then posted a line that's still green. Is this a new type of bait where you just post non sequiturs until people reply to ask what the fuck you're talking about?
I don't know why but, at some point, John Badman decided to do this anti-Trump doomer bit. If you play along with him, he plays along with you. He doesn't get in a twist about it.
 
You’ll love tariffs until you go to the store this week. Enjoy $10 milk.
It is a good sign that you can recognize the price of consumables as far more ubiquitous in terms of the common mans economic welfare vs stock market penis wizardry. You are still wrong and gay (imported milk lol) but the change in tact is recognized and appreciated.
