Yup. Lotta people selling stuff and more are buying it. Mainly doom, hysteria, new world order….the usual plus a little more edginess. Then there’s the “recession” that’s “already underway” that’s been happening since H2 2021….Oh yea and the “inflation” story which much like the oil boom that’s been destined to happen any month now for the past several years….is still….everywhere but in the numbers that matter lol $60 oil and 2-3% inflation..big ole yawn….and not gonna hold my breathe waiting for eternity for the forecasts to…never actually play out We all know who’s making money.

Yields soaring a whole couple percent, maybe not even, testing levels fairly common over past few years. But now it’s a big deal lol

Nah. Just seems like there's no shortage of people desperate to make everything they can, into a "really big deal". I mean all the talk about the budget, from a lot of interesting people, but for all the groveling, has anyone considered what the future budget would've looked like if the other party was responsible for it? Probably more or less the same. So we're getting the budget we should've expected, one way or another. It's hardly shocking or worth acting surprised about.

Yup lol waiting for all the macro bears to storm in about how this is such a big deal. Just a half ass attempt to manipulate the market from a bunch of dorks.

Just this…nothing more

Yup, things are booming in FL right now

Why does everyone always make such a huge deal about 4.5%? Imagine picking some arbitrary SPY number and making a commotion everyone it was near there?

They’ve been doing it unsuccessfully for ages. Even Druck is so absurdly wrong so often I question his actual results.

Nah I just think like with most things related to Trump, people are stunted emotionally and short sighted. The longer term consequences of Trumps egregiousness IMO will yield much needed reform. Even if it transitorily results in someone like AOC it’ll be worth it. David Hogg was on Bill Maher the other day. He gets it. Hopefully that’s the new wave of the countries politicians. Current guys are shot. So yea, vote for 5 decade Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi, or Mitch McConnell and scoff Trump…you enabled him.

Yea, whataboutism is a bs gaslighting no accountability copout. In a nutshell "it doesnt matter what Ive done or condoned, we're only going to talk about what I want to, nothing else should be accounted for"...thats why so many of you guys are the problem. Trump only makes these things so laughably retarded and blatant with his greed and shamelessness. But they were all enabled by people being fine with this stuff and then when called out for their dismissiveness, saying "whataboutism"...and it's like yea, well....what the fuck about it? Now we draw the line?

The best part is they literally did this whole thing in plain site. A day or two after liberation day, Lutnick was quoted as saying the tariffs would stay in place for, word for word, “weeks or months”…..what did we do? Grovel, grovel, whine, whine….then make claims about lying, not understanding, and all the doom ahead…. If you missed it, you missed it because your emotions got the best of you. No one else to blame either.

Yea, when all the panic and cash people finally take the bait. Then they'll complain that he lied!

We re all ok with these sleazeleeches enriching themselves via the “public servant” route. Heck, even amassing a collection of mansions is fine. Hell, accumulate generational wealth…why not? But we draw the line at….airplane? Got it.

I mean LVMH is highly sought after after by new money types which in gross number terms is China. They’re the largest market of new money millionaires and such. In anecdotal terms, I don’t know anyone who’s actually from wealth that would be caught dead brandishing those tacky “Louis” prints.

I think you kinda just have to shrug and brush it all off. It’s the internet. I don’t care or hold anyone’s opinions against them personally, ever. Most of my friends are liberals. Gods gift to me is a semi autistic perspective towards a lotta shit most people get all butthurt and feather ruffled by. You can call me the worst names you want and if you’re down to have a civil chat over a beer I could care less. Unfortunately that ain’t the case for everyone and a lot of people get emotionally invested in things that are mainly distractionary bullshit that’s designed to get them emotionally charged in a manipulative and Pavlovian way. It’s sad.

Yup like broken window policing. Stop and frisk…hows the current nonsense working out?

We instantly analyze risk in real time with investments. We instantly analyze risk when out in the real world. We get behind a keyboard and adhere to political religion and it’s like “oh you’re racist for thinking a bunch of hooded guys with tattoos on the street corner at 2am are up to no good”, “oh people aren’t fleeing NY because of high taxes and pro crime politicians you’re just being alt right!”…”oh checking IDs and enforcing immigration is evil and discriminatory!”….hilarious but also pitiful…if only in the real world we could call their bluff and see what they’d think if the high taxes were levied on them, while those hooded tat rats hugged their street corners and the immigrants did barbecues behind their fenced in enclaves…I’d imagine we d see a bear market in preachy bullshit and virtue signals

This is irrelevant to some of the "predictions" and "forecasts" from the concerned citizens...not to mention the "course of actions" taken regarding capital allocation. Scoreboard matters.

I just wish we still had the old cobf Trump/Russia thread or the old Covid thread. So many people, including current members just made total retards of themselves. Today it’s like it never happened…#accountability

I mean look, we will see if all the predictions pan out. And if not, the perpetrators of the bombastic and often completely fabricated distortions of reality can completely fuck off…I think that’s fair enough.

Well the market did go down because of China trade hostilities. Any sign that this may reverse should logically lead to gains. Unless of course you’re one of those folks whom believe “market only deserves to go down”.

Well the coincidental and mitigating factor here is 5 years coincides almost exactly with the Covid bottom. Any idiot owning anything should’ve outperformed any index from the given point. It’s a clear outlier.

Fool who hits you with the wisdom that "the market might not recover next crash" incoming in......3, 2, .....

Nah that’s a good observation. The market is generally more efficient but when it reacts it often overreacts.

Been buying a ton of Vitrolife last couple weeks. Finally got my HTL replacement.
