You people don't understand that a small fluctuation at first is normal. Long term is the goal. Rates will go down stocks will surge. Only a matter of time

The stocks will surge again when a Democrat is in charge of the country. All Republican presidents the last 45 years have given the country high inflation and tanked the stock market. Do some research. Sell everything now and wait 4 more years to invest again. Put in money market account and earn 4% before you lose it all with Trump.

The S&P 500 is down 6% from an all time high. Did you call the over 20% drop in 2022 the Biden Crash?

Market had already risen before that in 2022. I'm afraid this is just the start, but I do hope I'm wrong.
Next 4 years will be very rocky. I'd be happy enough with a flat 4 years and survival.

S&P Performance after two straight +20% years usually poor the 3rd year. Especially in the 2nd half.
Unless this AI boom is really a repeat of dotcom where 1995/96 was followed by 30% in ‘97, hard to make a case for an up year.
currently more than 50% chance for rate cut in June & odds for more than 3 cuts rose recently

The Trump Crash continues. When you thrash around and break things without knowing what you're doing, things get broken. Go figure.

Stocks generally ultimately go higher, but the market is speaking and the market does not like the uncertainty and neither do businesses. It is possibly that it might take awhile to recover. Trump was handed a great economy on platter and he is doing his darndest to eff it up.

a bull in a china shop and we are "the china" lol

The market and businesses in the USA can absorb and thrive under most conditions and policies and direction. But the one thing the market and businesses can't absorb is complete and utter uncertainty and instability and day-to-day shifts in policy. Businesses can't plan under those conditions, and if you can't plan well you can't do business.

7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the START of this thread !!!!

Thank you so very much to all who have contributed, past, present and future !!!

[pavyracer]

Only 6 weeks with Trump shenanigans of trying to "fix" Biden's economy and stock market that was not doing good. At this point someone needs to yell in his face that if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Key Points

• President Donald Trump will “probably” announce a compromise with Canada and Mexico as early as Wednesday, which could scale back his new 25% tariffs on top U.S trading partners, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said.
• The comments came after the U.S. stock market limped to a close for a second day of sharp declines.
• The Trump administration enacted sweeping tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports after putting them on pause for a month.

We are absolutely going to get a generational buying opportunity just not yet. It happens almost everytime we get GOP president, 10 year double inverting, Giga trendlines going back to Great Depression getting kissed above head. Once whatever blackswan is lined up to occur happens then the helicopter money will start to rain. They are already setting the stage saying supposed DOGE savings will be distributed to citizens. My guess is some crack in the cyber or financial system occurs, A US stable coin is announced then everyone gets their money in crypto. For this reason Coinbase is probably worth a long term investment. I feel we are still in stage 5 run up at least this year.

[pavyracer]

The lower it goes the better.
Just buy the stocks you like cheaper.

That's a good point. Bought some this morning and they are up already. This is why you need to have like 25-50% cash in your portfolio to buy when is oversold and then sit back until it happens again.

[homie1975]

Every one relax, it's not time to go parachuting out the windows just yet. We have finally reached a support area today.

PUMPer !! great to see you man!!

actually i do not believe today's support line will hold.

i see us lower by friday's close.

what is the 10 year telling us?

Best question??

[homie1975]

If we were going to see a recession soon, we would see it first in the junk bond market, and junk bonds are doing just fine.

what is the 10 year telling us?

[homie1975]

down we go

[homie1975]

beautiful day out there

[pavyracer]

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify. Because when the markets drop they have to to buy something with the sold stocks as not all stocks fall. My PM and BMY are up 30% when everything else is down 50%. No more than 10% of portfolio in one sector.

[trobin31]

Time for the blow off top

Beware the falling knife.

with you MADDer

i am watching and waiting.

today was a dying kitty bounce, i don't believe it.

[Madison]

D2 you are my guy. was not trying to give you crap. i get where you are coming from.

i have been called "too bullish" myself so did not mean as a criticism.

as i type, the Nazzy is rolling over.

i am setting my sights on backing up the truck on PLTR and NVDA but not ready yet.

still bleeding.

NVDA $127 as i type.

going the wrong way.

[homie1975]

Jensen painting a forward pic that the market is not buying (pun intended). DeepSeek is a problem no matter what he says and overall economy slowing is not helping.

[homie1975]

Looks like we’ll get a Green Day tmrw. At least until NVDA reports. If they have great earnings, which they usually do but the bar so high even 50% growth could get see self off.

I do think we get a short term bottom this week so maybe some deals on tariffs. Sounds like the war will rage on with this Ukraine mineral deal pending

the bar is still high but much lower than it was a year ago. DeepSeek real or perceived is a problem as well as macro factors and the fact we are so overbought in general the last 2 years after the late 2021 lows, that any substantial RIP right now is hard to hold.

NVDA is struggling to hold above a 2% bump right now despite another strong earnings call and better than expected guidance.

[homie1975]

Correct so far.

I really do think Nvidia rockets after reporting. Up 10%+ AH is my guess.

D2 you are clearly biased as you have a monster holding in this company.

I am your well-wisher but your predictions here are akin to a fanatic of a sports team - not to be trusted.

Sorry Bud.

I am a holder of decent-sized position in NVDA and also the pin action in QQQ and TQQQ are extremely key for my portfolio.

I'm confident on the EPS and Earnings overall but concerned about the guide.


T Minus 1 hour until the call.

I think there is a slightly higher than 50% chance that the stock sells off any RIP in the AH and the run to the end of Friday's session the next two days will have it lower than the current $130

I hope I am wrong.

From Morningstar:

On Berkshire’s Tax Bill

Buffett used Berkshire’s growing tax bill as a benchmark for the firm’s success over the past six decades.
Berkshire paid no income tax in 1965, the year Buffett took the reins. Sixty years later, Buffett said, Berkshire wrote the US government four tax checks totaling $26.8 billion, which accounted for about 5% of what all of corporate America paid in taxes last year. That’s the most any company has ever paid in income tax to the US government, “even the American tech titans that commanded market values in the trillions.”
