Have they always been over-reactionary pussies? And if so, is it good economics to put such emphasis on the decisions of these people?

Common misconception.


You actually make money on green days.

Most life-long traders are fine. They understand the ups and downs of the market.

Newer people will freak out just like they did in 08 and 20.

And then older people will be worried about retirement which is more understandable to me.

I do think there’s validity in frustration from the way this was rolled out to minimize the amount the mkt would go down today.

Only ones that will lose their money are the ones that made dumb financial decisions. It's always the same few boomers on this board that freak out when the stock market crashes. They should've made better financial decisions. They probably had all their money in Blockbuster stocks.

There should not be a correlation between a bunch of pussies making snap decisions on Wall Street, and the economic security of the average American. There needs to be a Low-T threshold that a trader must be above before being given the chance to trade.

So let me get this straight….. Trump announces he is going to setup retaliatory tariffs for the world during his campaign, after his swearing in to office, and during his address to the joint session and now once he does it the market is acting like this is a surprise?

Funny enough, if they were actually pricing these in from the beginning, seeing that most of these are 1/2 the viewed current tariff amount, the market should be rising.

Either the behavioral finance guys put little credence to his reciprocal tariff statements and didn’t price it into the market or they are just being overly reactionary. Either idea leads to the simple answer the market will stabilize in the near future, my guess by the end of the week.

The markets are off their all time highs by 10-15% .......it's getting close to jumping in with both feet time. There are only a few places to put your money, equities, hard assets, securities/bonds and cash.....maybe crypto?

Holding cash is a wise choice if you're holding the cash to make timely investments. Hard assets are always a good diversification strategy. Historically equities are returning between 7-10% annually when dividends are included. Securities/bonds are supposed to be the safest investment with less return but with the total global debt over $300 trillion it seems very likely there will be some type of sovereign debt contagion at some point.

At least with equities you're investing in something that does have some tangible value.

The big drop was after hours so it was hedge funds taking advantage of the situation. They are the only ones with enough money to drive the price like that, especially after hours. I however made 6k this morning in 30 minutes.

The buy and hold investors always get rewarded in the long run, at least with the broad based diversified investments. The question is how long is the long run.
