Foolish Exuberance
I’m not crazy enough to think I can time the market, so I’m largely still in but building a larger cash reserve at the moment. But I’m curious what y’all think about today’s bounce on the heels of a tariff “pause” for countries that did not impose reciprocal tariffs. Today’s …
Is there any proof anywhere to show or even suggest that Trump or any of his friends profited from this shit show?
Genuinely asking. Because from what I can tell, what happened is pretty clear. Trump crashed the market, the bonds went bad, he used his Truth Social to beg people to buy but they didn't, and his financial people sat him down and forced him to write a tweet abandoning a …
SQQQ people, how you doing?
How’s everyone feeling after today’s 90-day tariff pause *and* the new China tariff increase? Wild combo. Personally, I’m wondering if “tomorrow” brings more news designed to trigger a dump after today’s pump. A couple days ago I commented that the tweet about a 90-day pause felt like “fake news” until …
Tomorrow thoughts
Hi guys! So, what are your thoughts on tomorrow? Will it go up again or will it fall? It’s kinda hard to say. Logically, it should go up again with the news we got, but nothing is rational these days. Bets are open.
Trump's tweet was pretty clever
It wasn't insider info because it was public and hence, no market manipulation. However, also friends & family were informed on time when to buy with this public announcement. But again, the public could do so too. The only difference is that his friends & family knew he is dead-serious …
Do people really believe China would ever submit to Trump tariffs?
Singling out China is a bonehead move. #1 It risks complete decoupling from China - which has a leader who, for all intents and purposes, can't be removed from office - even if the population doesn't like his policies. #2, there are probably ways China can get around some tariffs …
Is this not market manipulation on an unprecedented scale?
Order of events: 🥭 administration announces some cute little tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Market dips. (Test run) 🥭 announced tariffs on the world. Market free falls Fake news is released about a 90 day tariff “pause” market pumps, quickly corrects itself 2 days later: 90 day tariff pause, largest …
How bad of an idea is it to have just spent $30k in the market?
Probably bought the top, but whatever. Been on the sidelines too long. Always waiting for the “right moment”. Was gonna do it yesterday, but didn’t because I thought it could go lower (stupid, I know.). Decided today, after everything ripped, that I’m done waiting, and dropped $30k. Already have anxiety …
How do you trade this market?
Just as the title says, curious how you guys are trading this market. Seems like none of the traditional ways work (indicators, trend lines, supply and demand, ect). I knew it would be tough trading with Trump in office but shit one minute I’m buying off support and a stupid …
How do you invest in a market that is being openly manipulated?
Serious question, and not meant to be political at all. The Truth Social post this morning, and then the near-complete reversal of policy on tariffs is market manipulation, and there is no authority that can stop this kind of thing. How do you invest with this level of corruption, right …
