100 points after losing thousands is not "soaring". That's like saying "Well I lost my job, my home, and my wife, but I just found $20. Amazing"
Write a country song about that, MAGA sickos.

100 points after losing thousands is not "soaring". That's like saying "Well I lost my job, my home, and my wife, but I just found $20. Amazing"

Yeah, that's the BBC's headline. I didn't like it either, I guess it seems like "soaring" if you're looking at the 1 day view. If you're looking at the 1 week view it looks like "recovering". If you're looking at the 3 month view it's more "recovered slightly".
They seem to have regained about half of what they lost.
Wait for tomorrow.
Normally it's called a dead cat bounce (idk why 😿) when the stock market crashes and then has a nice little bump before crashing more.
It's people trying to buy the dip, and fat cats pumping and dumping more shares, VCs trying to dump money into stocks to keep it near an attractive number, etc.
What Trump did here was gave the stock market a line of cocaine during it's dead cat bounce.
Soar? Today? Sure. Let's chat next Tuesday..
We had a bounce like that yesterday. Still too early to say if this one is a bounce or not. Have to see tomorrow / over the next few days.
Because the news lags. Tomorrow every country will come out in the press full force about Trump's bullshit and the markets will tank again. It also will take a week or more for people in the US to realize how much their winter Citrus and Avocados cost.
An hour later it’s up 3000
It won't hold. Again. Wait for tomorrow.
Highlighting the erratic trading conditions, a raft of stocks listed on the Nasdaq hit market speed bumps today and were halted after lurching higher — a common practice to prevent rapid changes in a stock or stock index’s price from getting out of control.
Yeah, wait for tomorrow. Takes some time to really realize what's going on with these psychos.
Everything about the indicators scream overbought:
RSI is high
Price is stretched above VWAP
Riding the upper Bollinger Band
Only thing still bullish is EMA12 > EMA26, and that’s lagging. Once that crosses, the dump is on.
And let’s not forget: the Buffett Indicator was already at 1.7 before today’s jump. Normal is 0.8–1.3. We’re deep into ‘correction incoming’ territory.
So yeah, this bounce? Classic sugar high. The real pain hasn’t even started.
Random person to random person: stop buying into all the "indicators". It's bullshit.
You know what he's going to do. That's your best direction. There is no "sailboat upward hook" or "flailing fish" dumbshit charting on this. It's unprecedented. No charts will help. In fact, stop looking at the charts and play the news. That will actually make you money.
The news is telling us all to buy right now.
Go ahead and place $1000 on s&p 500 at market open and tell me how it does over 1 week.
Good luck. I'll think back on this next week.
Still down almost 30% since "Sleepy Joe Biden" gave up power.... Oh look, Trumps golfing again.
I'd buy him a pound of golf balls if it kept him out of the Whitehouse. He's WAAAAAAAY more effective when he's not doing his job.
All time high was right before the election at ~45k, and now it's around 40k, so about 11% down. Not sure where you came up with 30%, but it never even got close to that. A 30% drop would be around 31k, and the lowest it hit was around 37k. We all hate Trump, but don't just make up numbers for internet points.
Can you imagine being a company, or even just a small business owner trying to make long-term plans in this environment?
Say you run a pest-control business in Texas. Things are going well, so you're thinking about hiring your neighbour's fat son to do some work during the summer. Then the tariff chaos starts. Do the chemicals you need for your business get more expensive? You buy them from DuPont, a good American company, but where does DuPont get the raw materials? The tariffs change week to week, sometimes day to day, so it's really hard to know what your costs are going to be, and what you'll have to charge. One of your other neighbours, Americans, but originally from Laos, have been good customers over the years, but what if ICE deports them? Your wife's massage therapist has been snatched twice by ICE now because he "looks Mexican" even though everybody knows he's Native American.
And there's your best buddy who works in propane. You'd think that that would be safe from tariffs, but it turns out a lot of the accessories he sells are manufactured in China. If he loses his job, his wife's salary as a teacher isn't going to be enough to keep them afloat.
Damn did I enjoy this comment.
I just wanna say I love your comment and the KOTH references.
The problem with buying American is that your best options are brands like Ford. You know what Ford stands for? Fix it again Tony.
Can't wait for the King of the Hill reboot or whatever it is. Should be out some time this year.
Ford looks to be top in most assembled in the US. However where do the parts come from? To determine the best cost value (ignoring quality) you'd have to break down the import costs for everything based on origin and see which US assembled car is less impacted. Or if it's just cheaper to buy a totally imported car made somewhere else.
I have a feeling that American labor in each step of the supply chain is gonna be the key factor that drives up the final price of a car, combined with the tariff added cost of raw materials and/or components that can't or won't be made in the USA. It'll be interesting to watch, especially considering how the idiot-in-chief has been meddling with the CHIPS program office and how that may impact ongoing efforts to expand production state-side.
There’s probably enough evidence of personal gain from market manipulation and some more felonies. If only he hadn’t appointed everyone who could do something about it. What a fucking con man
Corrupt to the bone, and not even interested in hiding it.
Why would he bother? He did the same shit to a lesser degree his first term and Americans said "sure, more please."
Buy low...sell high. Somebody's making a killing off of all this chaos, and it ain't us.
Tesla is up 23% today. There's definitely fuckery going on.

Buy the VIX now, because this is just a dumb idiot doing dumb idiot things.
Buy the VIX now
What?
VIX is a measure of volitility...
I'll just leave this here. Bought back in at the end of the session yesterday.

Bold of you to think there's going to be a "back up".
