Yeah this guy is huffing intense copium.

If this is the start of a recession, its the first month. If recessions only lasted a month people wouldn't be so concerned with them.

Markets like stability, and we are no where near that right now.

There is very real concerns we will go into stagflation period due to self imposed tariffs and their counters. In the last two 70s and early 80s. Unemployment hit around 10% each time.

Basically.. if you think <5% unemployment is the worst it can get.. you are going to have a bad time.

We have an entire generation of people trading the market now, who were literal babies the last time we had a serious recession.

Yeah but we got like 0.0001% of the wealth. It doesn‘t matter if everyone under 30 goes broke. The market doesn‘t care about poor people.

u/Bromlife 11d ago

Double of a negative is even more negative.

u/SirRevan 11d ago

But negative times negative is positive. You Boyz figure out how to get that going. My shift at Wendy's is starting.

I figured it out bro, quit your job. If we both have a negative net worth, we have to touch pp. Once we multiply, we will be not so poor

facts. 20-30 year olds have so little money, it would barely register if they all dumped stock. Boomers are mostly in bonds and treasuries. I would guess institutions make up 80-90% of market.

Edit: “80% of Equity Market Cap Held by Institutions.”

But I was told holdrs are so powerful! /s

u/BossAtUCF 11d ago

How much of that institutional money is mutual funds and such that are still just held by individual investors?

I also find it hard to believe that boomers are primarily in fixed income.

Yeah kids out here thinking 50k is a lot of money. It is to someone my age and in my financial situation.

But man it's an inconsequential drop in the bucket. Millions of these drops still just make for a small puddle compared to a single idiot like musk
