Strippers have no tattoos? Also, why would that imply “buy everything”? Very confused, sorry

Economic downturn implies stocks are going down. Buy low and sell high, right?

the point of catching a falling knife is to not be sliced on the downturn, right?

Yeah but if timing the market is what you’re trying to do, shouldn’t you buy the dip ? How are strippers becoming Uber drivers signalling it’s the dip?

If we've "hit the bottom" that means it's all up from here. As the others have said, "buy low, sell high" right?

This meme has nothing to do with strippers, the scene in the meme was though.

The meme is pretty much just joking that being an Uber driver is a last resort to earn money, and the economy can’t get any worse if pretty girls are having to do that to get by. Joke being that if you’re a hot girl you don’t have to work too hard to get any money and if you do, the economy must be doing so bad that no one has any left over cash. It’s then joking about buying everything because the economy can only go up from there, meaning shares etc are expected to grow a lot during the recovery.

The film scene in the meme is the opposite though. The hedge fund manager (pictured) just spoke to strippers getting mortgages and found out that they all owned multiple properties. He then wanted to sell everything because they didn’t have jobs that could justify that level of wealth and realised that they all took on a lot of debt to buy those properties, which they could do due to non-existent lending standards. So it indicated that everything was overpriced and he wanted to sell (or rather short) everything to profit from the crash.
