It’s truly unbelievable. Literally went through this same discussion in dramatic fashion 3 months ago only to watch the market climb to well above all time highs. And now people are freaking out all over again.

There are many feeble minded boomers who consume msnbc non stop.

Maybe but somehow they got all the money and you don't. How that happened?? No, don't answer.

It didn’t take long for a feeble-minded MSNBC addict to appear!

They have been doing this for years. Every heard of buy low sell high ? Warren is the master at this. He will not overpay for anything, especially when short term treasuries yield over 4%. He is minting money while he waits for the “fat pitch.”

There’s a reason why he’s a household name. to think you can time the market and achieve the same results as buffet is pretty insane but good luck with that

He influences the market, not just times it correctly.

The S&P 500 trajectory has continually gone up over its entire history - clearly there are peaks and valleys - but it’s always gone up. What are you even talking about?

Did we not recover from the 2008 financial crash? Did we not recover from Covid? Did we not recover from the inflationary crash in 2022? Did we not recover from the Trump tariff idiocy in 2025?

My friend, you do you. I enjoying this market insanity and buying crypto stocks and momentum ETFs and this and that, but in the back of my mind I know that stagflation is coming. Look at the PPI reports. Look at the data today. Everything is fine, until it’s not. We are on borrowed time economically and these tariffs will exact their pound of flesh in the near future. I’m gonna by ETHA until like October or December and then start slowly buying more GLDM.

Of course the market will “crash” again. And then it will go back up to reach a new peak at some later point. The problem you have is trying to figure out when it has reached a bottom and when it has reached a top. I don’t have that problem because I continually invest in the S&P index fund and don’t sell.

The market is not coming back after this crash that Trump's policies will make.

By this time next year, bread lines and great depression

Cult of stupidity.

No, you are wrong. Trump will never let a great depression happen while he is president. He will keep patching it up to make it look good - but when he's gone, watch out.

During the Great Depression, those will real estate did pretty well. However, they were probably already very rich.

We have already been through this once this year. I'm doing the same as I did before. Not much. I kept more in cash instead of investing it. That's it.

He's 94 years old and will be replaced by year's end. If you like the new guy, then buy Berkshire—no reason to try to recreate the wheel.

The market’s never ending rise is predicated on American Hegemony. But countless empires have fallen before and will continue to fall. So the question becomes, is American Rule of Law the skeleton of its economic strength? Or is it just a never ending engine that goes vroom vroom forever? Are abundant natural resources and the top 10% of consumers enough to keep America going without a democracy? Will corruption begin to trickle down and have real impacts on economic activity?

Totally. His philosophy is growth over debt. He will continue to try to grow, grow, grow until he's done, and the next President will have to figure out how to deal with the national debt. According to the CBO in January, the US national debt is projected to reach 107% of GDP by 2029, exceeding the historical peak of 106% reached in 1946 after World War II. I'm more worried abut the period after Trump leaves office. How do we not have massive tax hikes in 2029?

I am hedging by being lucky enough to have at least one spouse in this family working for an international company, so we can always move. He's already been offered a job overseas.

F
For now, Investing in international stocks. And putting money in many different areas.

Look, I still have hope that we can turn this thing around before it gets too bad. I don't really believe that will happen but I hope so. I really really do. But you need to just really diversify your money and not just in American s***.

Make sure you have the ability to find a job somewhere else. Unless you have tons and tons of stuff, which we do so we are actually doing really really well right now, if things go the way they're trending, most of the country is going to be f*****

Which guess what.. if anybody remembers the history of 1929, the stock market will crash right after a meteoric rise from the backs of a crumbling economy

Oh pp. I used to believe that if America collapsed the rest of the world would too. Economically. But the rest of the world has been doing great work and making great strides in separating themselves from the American economy
So I don't think we can relynin "as America goes, so does the rest of the world" anymore.

How did Biden and Obummer deal with the national debt? Of yeah, they printed money like it was going out of style and further increased the debt.

What is it with republicans and super lame nicknames? Is it some holdover from when they were childhood bullies? Do they actually forget names and make up something and then have to keep it up!

Anyways, Obama inherited the GFC from “ownership society” Bush and Biden inherited COVID Pandemic from “Chee-na Cold” Trump. Their fiscal policies reflected the disaster a GOP President handed them.

The biggest disaster is coming in 2029. Trump is the most fiscally irresponsible President we've ever had.
