The thing about the stock market, no one freaking knows. The market has taken horrible dives before and has recovered. I also don’t believe the USA is the only country that should be worried if something does go down. The fact that some experts are saying things could be different may be worrying, but ultimately no one knows. All we can do is try our best to prepare for the worst. I wouldn’t be surprised if the protests continue to grow over the summer months in the USA.

Almost certain that Trumspki will do something stupid soon and then more stupid shit after that. The S&P will be look like a wild roller coaster.
I mean when it comes down to it the market is a minor concern vs the being grabbed by unmarked people into a van and sent to foreign gulag and then say oppsie made a mistake there and then shrug shoulders and say nothing we can do about it now.
capitalism baby! Imaginary number > real lives.
Extreme peaks and valleys are not actually a sign of good things to come.
The plan is to declare martial law on the 20th.
So we'll see if that effects the stocks.
We're hardly even three months in... We've got a loooong way to go before even the midterms.
it's gonna fall again, sell if you have any stocks at all
Sold it all the moment he was declared the next president, I knew shit would happen but I couldn't have predicted this.
To be honest, I thought he would focuse more on racist, misogynistic and conspiratorial things. I knew he was stupid, but I didn't think he was threatening-war-to-allies-making-a-secret-police-crashing-the-economy stupid
any economics student could have expected this, even the fact a president can put tariffs to a such incredibly high values shows that it's essentially a fascist state already, somehow USA in three elections managed to become as bad as Hungary, Turkey and Egypt
Not an economics student, but sounds like an important subject these days huh?

Your title makes it sound like you think the S&P is going to get a lot higher. This is because you mention growth, then use a tip of the iceberg analogy, which suggests that the rest of the iceberg is more growth. If you wanted to suggest a crash, you should have used a different analogy.
"Tip of the iceberg" means there is more lying in wait under the surface that can sink your ship. Sailors give icebergs a wide berth for this reason.
The point of the saying is that there is more danger than just what's immediately visible.
Alot has happened in the last 6 years that has financially changed the world. Corona virus and the breakdown of global supply chains. Biden froze Russia's investments in US treasuries resulting in the weaponization of the global reserve currency at the start of the Ukrainian war. Further trust was eroded by Trump and his abandonment of previously agreed upon trade deals and imposing tariffs of varying degrees that are adjusted at will, per emotion. Whatever your political leanings you best get ready for some difficult times as the world loses faith and trust in American global leadership.
Of course. I’m still sitting on half the liquidated stocks + bonds I sold 2 weeks before this whole shit. Buying back slowly.
