What's wrong with shorting?
Seriously. If the market truly is being rational and if it is SO obvious that you-know-who is going to destroy the country, why can't we all short? I think there's a massive circlejerk going on here by people who are either uneducated or breaking the most important rule of investing …
Is Trump’s Tariff Plan Actually Happening?? I’m Still Confused
**Hello everyone,** I’ve been reading about Trump’s new tariff plan, and I’ve got to ask—**is this really going to happen?** Like… *for real for real?* The implementation date is just a few days away, but it still feels kind of unreal to me. The whole thing seems so sudden and, …
PE ratio (still over priced)
Currently the s&p 500 is sitting at a trailing P/E ratio of about 25. Historically, the median trailing PE ratio is about 16. This means, the S&P would still need to drop about 35% to get to the historical median trailing P/E ratio. Your beloved VOO needs to drop to …
Let's hear everyone's best guess on what the Bottom will be this cycle
My gut tells me we have some choppiness still ahead, and we saunter our way down to S&P 4600 over the next 8-10 months. After that I think we trade sideways until good news comes back. Seeing how seemingly all of the recent dips in the last 15 years seem …
Alternate reality, no Covid V shaped recovery. What would the world look like?
Thoughts on world where Fed didn't go full nuclear (INFINITE QE) to prop up markets. You can make the argument we are in the mess now, due to actions taken in March 2020. Dropping interest rates mades sense, but the disastrous PPP and QE led to the Covid inflation of …
I cancelled my Netflix subscription
The market has so much entertainment at the moment that I'm just not watching Netflix, so I cancelled it. Along with cutting other expenses. I'm voting with my wallet. Sorry for causing the recession. #Nobuy2025
Too late to pull out?
My initial plan was to ride this out. But being that I started investing a little over a year ago I am starting to lose a decent amount of money. Did I already miss the opportunity to sit on the side lines? Do I just continue to ride it out? …
Are Stocks a scam
From the 2008 crash to the 2020 pandemic to the 2025 TrumpDump, are stocks kinda pointless? It seems that every few years there’s a massive crash, and you lose all the money you woulda got. It claims to grow at 7% a year (VTI) but it always goes up and …
Convince me not be a bear now, Part 3.
[Part 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1iu1jy7/convince_me_i_shouldnt_be_a_bear_now/) Feb 20. Positions: Spy puts, short. [Part 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1jckrcz/convince_me_i_shouldnt_be_a_bear_now_pt_2/) March 17. Positions: Cash + protectionist plays (INTC, X, etc). Well, this ended up becoming a little trilogy. The market has went down, a lot, and the big question is: Is this time to buy? I think so. I have …
Another wealth transfer since 2008 crash, S&P 500 loses another $5 trillion in just two days.
At this point it should be no suprise that few extremely rich people are going to gobble up even more wealth. US economy has become a meme at this point. At this point, shorting the market ourselves is a way to make some money. Apart from TESLA, S&P 500, etc. …
