There’s so much opportunity to make money on these hard swings. My phones been blowing up since yesterday morning with large funds looking to move back into the infrastructure space.

Sounds dumb as frick. I'm about to start putting some of my cash back in. Why would I keep it on the sidelines during a nice dip like this?

Today's bloodbath aside, we are dealing with a POTUS that is losing support by the day, but is too hard headed to reverse course. I see a lot more pain ahead, just give yourself some cushion and peace of mind. Take care baws - see y'all in late 2027 or 2028 when this hopefully gets better.



Yeah, the market reaction has nothing to do with Democrats coming out and publicly saying they are going to go after corporations. It's Trump's fault.

Most people don't have six figures of cash laying around they aren't using or investing, and besides if it gets bad and in it's worthless what's the point.


Nah in his scenario cash is king because everyone’s portfolios would be worth next to nothing. Most people are only wealthy on paper and couldn’t come up with $10,000 cash if they had to but their retirement account paints an artificially different picture. Stock is only worth more than you paid if you sell and if we get another 1929 style crash many will be flat arse broke.

If you resources wherein you can easily acquire 100K in cash, you'd damn well better be praying that Trump can hold of the Commies. Because when they open the Border AGAIN, to all the World's needy, your money will be required to support them.

This is a prime example of why the Republicans are relatively powerless re the Left's "fundamental change".

Inflation and increasing deficits will devalue that cash quickly.

If you’re going to do this then take that cash and buy gold/silver

Just Wall Street adjusting to harsher business restrictions, and unfriendly Congress to AI and crypto endeavors. I thought it would happen sooner than it did, but knew it was coming. I think we will rebound, then go down again in Jan/Feb when the new Congress start witch hunting, and have a huge run up from March to July…

I "set it and forget it". I mean I do what's necessary when CD's mature and what not but it is what it is and I can always go live on farm. Wouldn't really want to live in a 5th wheel but it beats the streets. What's cash going to do for you? Six figures and a loaf of bread?

And the one thing that definitely won’t be fine is cash!

If you’re risk averse with the markets, at least take advantage of relatively high fixed rate instruments like high yield savings, CDs etc

Letting cash sit during periods of inflation is losing value.

Bought SPCX today at $122, Micron @ $671, JEPI @ $56.60, working from an overweight cash position already. Musk and AI related plays are supposedly bad kimchi, so we'll see.

The democrats can whine all they want, the big boys are involved and it’s a ton of cash, AI and data centers are happening. Not if, when.

Money > politics

AMD and TSMC are both buys now. I think Google is a buy.

Datadog reported well and got hammered last night and today.

Space x and Tesla have had a terrible week or longer.

JOby helicopters is interesting now. Earning revenue and conducting vtol flights at an airport in New York and F1 races. They also signed a contract with the USAF.

They are definitely happening in China. Beijing will do its best to see they don't happen here. Beijing just got a slew of its sock puppets elected to influential spots. So we'll see. My money is on your bet though.

Things were actually fine under Trump.


We need double the current inflation to get to biden's average, triple to get to his highs.

Mainly…. Pay off credit card debt, pay off mortgage, and have cash on hand to last 3 - 6 months. It’ll be OK.
