So was today capitulation ?

or is there more carnage to come ?

I will wait for HeelYeah to post his take before hitting the panic button. After all , he voted for Trump X3 because Trump was a $$$ genius who was sure to fatten his wallet...

I set a personal record for my worst single day loss ever on Thursday only to beat it on Friday.

I sure hope I can recoup it over this coming recession and still retire at 60. My YTD losses are horribly high. I really hate trump. I really hate that a moron with no fucking financial acumen was elected. A very stable genius that bankrupted 6 companies was put in charge to destroy the country.

Maybe Ron Vara can talk some sense into trump.

Looks like the bear has left his cave and is ready to roam the countryside.

Dow futures down 720 points, S&P down 120 points, NASDAQ down 411 points ( and is the first to be clawed by the bear who now has the Dow and S&P in his sights )

btw, have I missed a post from HeelYeah giving us a progress report on the fattening of his wallet ? 🤔

U.S. Stocks Set to Enter Bear Market as Trump Tariffs Spark Panic

U.S. stock futures were plunging early Monday, with the market pricing the risk of a possible global recession caused by President Donald Trump’s tariff plan. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down 657 points, or 2.3%. S&P 500 futures were falling 2.2% and Nasdaq 100 futures were losing 2.2

Remember back in 2017 when Trump held weekly press conferences to brag about the stock market which defined the economy the greatest in the history of all mankind ? and folks like HeelYeah were rejoicing as their wallets fattened ?

good times...
 
WTF is going on today? Dow drops 1000 points at open, then jumps back 1500 in like 5 minutes, now heading back down again. Sheesh.

Headline that Kevin Hassett said Trump is considering 90 postponement of tariffs for all except China.

Now, reporters are having a difficult time getting confirmation from WH.

In a space of bad information, gambling takes over. I suspect we've seen a lot of dead cat gamblers and insider trading. The capriciousness will eventually get baked in and cause permanent (within a trump admin) injury to market confidence.

About 45 minutes ago, my Roth (the account I use for monitoring markets) was down ~3%. About 15 minutes ago it was up 2.5%. It's now back to 1% up. I've never seen swings like this.

ETA: Since last night, we've seen the Dow -4.2% pre-market, followed by 2+% up within an hour of market open, and now back to wild swings between 1-2% down. What happens in chaos? Decreased confidence and more personal austerity, and massive increases in corruption and concentration of power (if cons in congress continue to supplicate themselves).

These swings are all vibes, court jesters hearing this and leaking that, trump ciphers claiming xyz, and market manipulation by billionaires. We may as well be placing bets on the 1919 World Series.

My guess -- day traders and IIs are buying the dips at opening caused by the Red Wedding in Asia. They'll sell by early afternoon, though. I'm guessing the Dow still closes down 3.5%, and maybe more.
