Who’s buying in this market?
The title is not a personal question. Every stock transaction has a buyer and a seller involved. With panic in the market there are far more sellers trying to dump their stocks. So who are the buyers on the other end of these transactions if very few people are buying? …

Do you think the US will always still keep rising irregardless due to too many retail investors now being hardcoded into just DCA-ing?
From what I see around me, that seems like the very popular and common mindset these days. I'm not from the US but here in my country people dont seem to care if the US stock market tanks or not. The Dow could fall by 90% for all I know …

What if Trump decides to stop repaying government debt? Who will stop him?
I don't live in the US but the majority of my pension and investments are linked to the USA. I simply don't understand why he hasn't been stopped by the courts or Congress or the Sentate. He is making millions of Americans poorer, anyone with a pension would have lost …
DCA verse Cash
I am a bit confused with everyone saying to DCA right now, why not sell and buy in at a lower price? Sorry if this is a stupid question and I know timing the market is always not suggested but if I truly believe the market will continue to dip, …
So, what are we all buying today?
So much for the markets pricing tariffs in... Markets tanking. VIX pushing 50+. Futures bleeding red. Headlines comparing this to the Great Depression.
