L o l if you don’t think crypto is quickly becoming a target for the manipulators of which you speak.

i dont think the cyrpto markets will see manipulated assistance from the central banks anytime soon bud, maybe someday
and its pretty obvious that the stock market today is just as big of a casino as the crypto markets to anyone paying attention

So central banks are inflating asset values, but not crypto values?

Pennies, which have always been a big gamble, are still a big gamble.
Small, mid, and large cap stocks are mostly performing as they always have too. The average stock is pretty normal.

thats not exactly true since RH retailers outperformed the hedge funds last year but maybe this is the new normal?
its hard for me to buy that the stock market is trading "normally" especially since the covid crash - its been a casino ever since

Hedge funds are a mediocre measure of success. Historically as a group they lag the S&P by nearly 250 basis points.

There are a handful of exceptions for the RH favorites, but the vast majority of this market makes sense.

The stock market, aside from a few meme outliers has behaved fairly predictably since the covid crash.

They did?

when random tweets can send the dow futures up or down, thats not behaving predictably - thats behaving randomly

RH specifically did well, and when you consider the stocks that did well over the past year, it makes a lot of sense. If tech is outperforming, it’s understandable that a trading platform with an average age of 31 would outperform too.

Ok, this is hilarious coming from you. Every time Musk tweets about a crypto, the price fluctuates 10- 500% in an hour. Come on man, let's not compare the effects of tweets on the stock market vs cryptocurrency. That's just silly

Not shitting on cryptocurrency, but a 10% 1 day swing in the DJI is a major event, a 10% swing in cryptocurrency is just Tuesday.

I remember in the mid 80s watching some guy on the financial news network talking about how the DOW was going to go to 4000 and it sounded so ridiculous at the time. The Dow was probably around 1500 at the time.

I'm not disagreeing with your overall point, but I believe djia lost over 50% over about a year and a half. That's a hell of a pull back. Maybe not a "crash" but a seive.

First shares I ever purchased, Ma Bell (T) in 1974, DJIA was around 750/800 and BRK.A was something like 800 a share. October 1987 scared the shite out of alot of people, 22% drop in one day.
