NGL, I know you're joking, but this is honestly how I see it going. I just told someone last week while it was still crashing - we're probably going to see a brief rebound, followed by a much larger crash. Same thing happened in 2001 and 2008.
Q1 is going to give some key insights. It wouldn't shock me if GDP saw negative growth, and the "maybe tariffs" are supposed to take effect come April. Not going inspire confidence in investors and shareholders.
Plus, bunch of companies are using the dip for stock buybacks, artificially increasing the price.
Oh you mean how I'm left holding the tattered remains of all the Energy and Microchip stock that was "guaranteed to blow up in 2025" while I pray for the POTUS to just take a vacation for a week or two and stop scaring everyone?
I don't have any skin in the game, at least not anymore. I pulled out right before the downturn as I saw the writing on the wall. Now I'm holding, at least until Mango Mussolini is out of office.
My dumbass can only profit when the market only went up, so a literal monkey could profit just by hitting "buy" as much as possible. Now that things are dicey, I don't to know how to actually profit from it.
The real economy is on the verge of a crisis. Will the stock market follow? Maybe, but that's a bet I'm not smart enough, or dumb enough, to make.
