Ah yes. 8d chess.
Trump saying “buy the dip” was just him hoping the left would buy bonds just to spite him.

What's up with you, RohanGonzales?? You can't do a simple check to verify this before you post a rebuttal to my assertion regarding the last two S&P calendar years?? Two other posters have verified 20+% in '23 and '24 before I even had a chance to respond. Again, those of you who have sky-high expectations of the stock market and short-time horizons should not have one penny invested in it.

I think people can be honest and say the dow going down 1000 points 4 times since the tariff announcement when its only gone down 1000 points 11 times in history (now) is definitely concerning
You do realize that using "points" rather than "percentage" is extremely misleading?? 1,000 points on 40,000 at current levels of the Dow is only 2.5%, while 1,000 points on 10,000 Dow is 10%. As the Dow grows, 1,000 points becomes a smaller and much more common occurence. It's becoming more and more obvious, that there are way too many uninformed people in the market these days and it's probably time that the tree be shaken to remove a lot of these folks.

So you were educated at the University of Texas?

I was college in the mid/late 90s and it was all about the dow 10k. I really didn't follow the market up until lately and really had no idea it was over 40k. To me everything is a bubble but what do i know.

A main reason our polity has flourished is that the perception both domestically and internationally has been that U.S. monetary policy has been controlled by apolitical experts and not elected officials.
