The stock market

depends on your definition of "crash"..
here is some context
I'd say taking the froth out of the system from all time highs

so the Market isn't crashing? Do you live in a alternate universe?

Or are you on really good drugs? If that's the case - I want some of whatever you're doing....
:rolleyes:
Come on Wader, you’re living in the past
Its no longer OK to blame every single problem in the world on one guy
Thats so 2021 to 2025!!!!!!
I know its a long time ago but during that time EVERYTHING was one guys doing and fault
Now? Pffffftttt
That all changed. Everything now is gods will and naturally happens for a reason all on its own 👍👍👍
 
Had a nice little rally today. CPI came in lower than expectations. PPI tomorrow. Making progress on Russia / Ukraine Peace agreement.
It's a transition phase from big .gov and regulation, to downsizing / rightsizing the excess in the system. Market will have to digest that transformation. As well as Tariffs, threat of Tariffs etc.

So, if, you're a long-term investor, you shouldn't care what the market does day to day. If you are a trader, then that is a different story, and you have to be nimble.

VIX option expire next week, and Quarterly Options expire 3/21, Month end rebalancing 3/30 ish for large pensions and funds, Tarriff decision 4/2 on Mex/Can...so strap in for a bumpy wild ride.

If you're retired & counting on your account to help support you - you are concerned on what the Market does day to day. There are a lot of us who do.
Yes.
I have other income streams but this is one that is the bedrock.

Older Folk don't have the benefit of being cavelier about what the Market is doing day to day.

Maybe older folks who didn't plan appropriately and were cavalier with their portfolios. If they were astute investors, they would have dumped critical high-risk investments prior to retirement. This way they can say "Oh shit, oh dear the market is tanking again. Think I'll have another cup of coffee..."

After this correction sorts itself out, I may throw a little Fun Money into the market. Its success or failure would have no impact on the rotational velocity of the earth...

Beat me to it. If it's retirement money the majority of it should have been pulled into more stable, income producing positions long ago.

Markets are speculative and reactionary. They often reflect the economy, but they are not the economy. It's the same mistake people make when they say the president doesn't control the price of gas. It's not direct control, but policy can certainly influence it.

In fairness, in 2016 the market expected Hillary to win, but still, data are data...

The Upside-Down Line That Tells the Story of the Stock Market Now

When President Trump entered his first term, stocks were steadily marching upward. This time, the trajectory has inverted.

The stock market has plunged since President Trump took office for a second time, a stark contrast to the early days of his first presidency. The S&P 500 index has fallen sharply since hitting a record high on Feb. 19.

The index fell into a so-called correction on Thursday. Corrections, a Wall Street term referring to a 10 percent decline from an index’s last peak, are relatively rare yet symbolically worrisome milestones for the markets. Other major indexes, including the Nasdaq and the Russell 2000, had already slid into correction territory before Thursday.

Stock prices were once Mr. Trump’s favorite proxy for political success. During his first term, he continually took credit for a booming stock market.
 
Pretty wild day today. All was up, but for how long? Markets liked money everywhere flying around from the last administration. They have never seen a government run a little bit more like a business. Anyway, I still think we will have more downside, but will take it.

Hey, where is the doom and gloom guy..........................................found him!

It's ok to come out..........................market up today!
