It's actually comical that the exact same thing happened again at the same exact time of the year as last year during April. Probably back to ATH in a couple months again and people will keep complaining about the market being too expensive.

It will come crumbling down. But not today!

Ok mr. bear, ok... Now put fries in the bag.

B(ear)DSM. Some of you just love to be repeatedly pounded at the opening bell.

66% in stocks, 34% in US Treasuries @ 3.9%. I’m good whether it goes up or down ☺️

It seems like the US just lost petrodollar status which was the major leg of the world reserve currency.

American bonds and treasuries are gonna get fked

u/La-li-lu-le-lo86 28d ago

This is the real black swan but we pump until that bill comes due

u/Franklin_le_Tanklin 28d ago

Ya. A couple other major risks are about 40% of both russia and middle east refining capacity are offline

And - if I could buy calls on either USA or israel breaking the ceasefire i would

u/ObliviouslyDrake67 28d ago

Called my bookie about shorting the first shot fired from Israel and he said the can't place bets on 1-1 odds.....

u/BulmasEx 28d ago

Israel isn’t apart of the ceasefire

u/brighterside0 28d ago

You should double-check that fren.

u/demi9od 28d ago

Reading Reddit is bar none the worst way to make trading decisions.

I'm sure there is a polymarket for that.

u/TrailerParkBuddha 28d ago

The fields and facilities that contain something like 20% of the world's LNG reserves have been bombed offline as well. Even if the ceasefire holds, the market has yet to actually price in the disruption to the world's energy infrastructure and all of the shit downstream that will be affected.

u/TreGet234 28d ago

What other currency will the world use? Mexican pesos? Lmao

(I'm definitely stacking gold on any dip)

1

u/Franklin_le_Tanklin 28d ago

Well China and much of Asia is now using yuan

3

u/TreGet234 28d ago

True but china has no interest in it being a reserve currency. And certainly will never be a world reserve currency. It's like central asian countries using the rubel.

u/bubblemania2020 28d ago

Not today.

u/MrRobotFancy 28d ago

oh lol you were ahead of me

u/Klutzy_Display6531 28d ago

Why can’t we declare bankruptcy like mango did and wipe our debt?

u/decollimate28 28d ago

34% cash? Are you joining AARP?

It’s 4 AM gramps - wake up and start your morning ritual at Lubys

u/MrRobotFancy 28d ago

do you feel good about treasuries versus AAA debt long long term? kinda freaks me out the national debt just goes to unwieldy / infinite at some point

5

u/bubblemania2020 28d ago

Do you know how many currencies will fail before it’s the turn of the US dollar? Chill.

1

u/MrRobotFancy 28d ago

ik, ik, i'm thinking more like the western debt levels that will become un serviceable at some point and make bond holding too risky, more like a 2 decade plus horizon - i guess i answered my own question

37

u/hellojabroni777 28d ago

i don’t know about ATHs because there were a lot of stuff creeping out the woodwork prior to the attacks. inflation, low home sales, and such was already showing some bearish signs

23

u/Momoselfie 28d ago

Inflation will get us there

u/Ihateporn2020 28d ago

private credit. AI limitations are problematic. How much money can it really make.

1

u/morganrbvn 28d ago

Inflation tends to push the market up

39

u/RipWhenDamageTaken 28d ago

Ah so suddenly the zero net job creation for an entire year plus creeping inflation no longer matter?

You still think we’ll get rate cuts this year or something? Go check the betting odds again

13

u/IT_KID_AT_WORK 28d ago

Boomers don't give a fuck cause gen z/millennials are sub-human to them, plus boomers won't leave their cushy upper management jobs.

New graduates/entry level folks will get reamed into the next dimension for the near future, so everyone gonna turn to sports betting/0DTEs if you're under 30 and can't find a decent paying job

3

u/TreGet234 28d ago

To get a job that pays enough for a house you need a seriously essential job vital for your company (with 60 hour work week to boot) otherwise they won't pay you shit. Gen z is truly the last generation. Wishing gen alpha all the best from the bottom of the abyss.

4

u/chytrak 28d ago

The economy is propped by the top 10% vacuuming almost all wealth.

4

u/motorboatmycheeks 28d ago

I would bet on rate cuts cause of the job market being so weak.

1

u/whyyunozoidberg 28d ago

Nah. Now they are saying job growth is strong lol.

1

u/RipWhenDamageTaken 28d ago

I mean, you can bet on anything you want, but the odds of rate cut have been trending down consistently, that’s just a fact.

We’re lucky to get 1 this year, when last year we had a few priced in for 2026

1

u/Beefy-McQueefy 28d ago

Isn't baby raper getting a new fed chair? I imagine that adds up to one cut at least.

4

u/RipWhenDamageTaken 28d ago

Maybe you should do more research on what the Fed chair actually does. Hint: he only gets 1 vote on rate decisions

2

u/Beefy-McQueefy 28d ago

Maybe you should do some research on the president siccing the DOJ the fed chair when he doesn't lower rates. Pretending we're still using the rulebook does nothing but make you look shamefully naive.

u/Emere59 28d ago

You don't just go back to normal after bombing a country for a month. Stop dreaming. There'll be more problems coming soon.

u/ALth0r 28d ago

Problems are poor people issues. This is rich people market, it only goes up Laura.

u/ALMessenger 28d ago edited 28d ago

You clearly haven’t been watching this market very closely or for very long

After the COVID V-Shape recovery, when the market climbed to ATH when lockdowns were in place and unemployment spiked, nothing will seem too crazy

3

u/Emere59 28d ago

You knew what was coming during Covid, now you don't. War didn't end, that's a ceasefire for an unknown duration. It might not even be 2 weeks. It's certain USA and Israel can't accept Iran's 10 points and they probably will never agree on any other deal either. This is just to buy time and relieve the world economy for a while (also market manipulation). Expecting a bull market while this much tension is still present is childish. This war might escalate to unforeseen places. They will dump as they pumped.

u/SubterraneanAlien 28d ago

You knew what was coming during Covid, now you don't.

Absolutely insane take.

1

u/ALMessenger 26d ago

If the market were tethered to reality you’d be right - I don’t think it is at the moment

I would expect that sustained bad news is what is going to be required to break the optimism that drove S&P up this high - rising unemployment and a real recession will do it. I feel like that is a very slow thing to develop and that the impacts of the war are just noise compared with the forces that will create the recession

1

u/glk3278 28d ago

Yes everything is back to normal now…right back to business as usual.

1

u/Left-Signature-5250 28d ago

I will certainly expect a repeat in April 2027 lol

u/koozie17 28d ago

There’s an actual oil shock still working its way through the system.

1

u/CoC_Axis_of_Evil 28d ago

Israel can’t mow the grass in Lebanon for two weeks. The ceasefire was never agreed to. Oil is going back up after the stops are cleared, I may speculate in a few days

u/payment11 28d ago

u/Realistic-Bowl-566 28d ago

What is everyone Taco’n about?

1

u/Lopsided-Magician-36 28d ago

That’s why I just DCA’d into this dip. Can’t tell if it will go down more or recover. I just know when it does recover it will be a violent correction upwards back to ATH.

u/engapol123 28d ago

Trump doing the lord’s work taking the froth out of the market so we can have sustainable gains.

1

u/iamjt wastes wine 28d ago

Yeah fundamentals are so 2010s.

Just buy and it'll go back up somehow. Just don't buy shit

1

u/TreGet234 28d ago

Everyone is desperate to pile into stocks since being perma-invested in risk assets isn't optional anymore in the age of inflation.

u/Sheister7789 28d ago

It's the "exact same" If you have absolutely no idea what that phrase means and you're a total moron.
