Taco is what drove the market back up.

What, the market is still down per Jan 1. It’s recovered some, but hasn’t had any gains.

goalposts moved much? - stock market carnage and "oh i didn't make X%" are a little different

Also, they are wrong. S&P was at like 5870 at the start of the year….

It’s 6170 now. A record high. So much for the Great Depression 2.0.

People are insane. So many horrific investment decisions made at the start of this year because people have absolutely no perspective. “Unprecedented times” literally happen every 5-10 years and the market does not care.

The market did care. It dropped over 20%. That wasn’t just retail investors pulling out. m

The market reversed course because Trump reversed course.

All the people taking a victory lap and talking about the great economy are missing the point. Trump’s economic plan was a disaster. He tanked the market and has no idea what he is doing. TACO is the reason that the market improved. The market survived despite Trump’s best intentions (is manufacturing back yet?).

But stocks need to be backed by fundamentals. Wall Street is sticking its head in the sand and banking on “outgrowing” the now highest deficit ever. They are saying AI will help us outgrow the deficit ignoring the warning signs. It’s not gonna be pretty, it’s just a matter of when.

That is not the conclusion I would take from this thread.

Statistically, it wasn’t just Dems pulling money in April.

I do want to hear back from the 3X leveraged inverse ETF guy though.

Lol, keep telling yourself that. Truly hilarious that Dems are trying to pretend like they were not in full TDS, crashout mode earlier this year.

Were there a couple of Republicans that panic sold when they saw the markets going down? Probably. But let’s not pretend this period was anything other than Dem mass hysteria and a psychotic break—we all saw your Great Depression and collapse-of-the-system posts, bro!

Are you really dump enough to think that democratic retail investors pulled out of the market to such a degree that it caused a 20% market drop?

But don't they all have infallible crystal balls? Apparently not.

Ok so here I am in DC as a 49yo out of work former fed with basic office experience. Please explain your idea for how I should find such a job in DC with my work history, age and cost of living.

You expand your job search and relocate for employment if you have to. You're not entitled to live and work wherever you like, you live where you can afford to live, and you work where you can find employment. Or, you accept different employment, if that's what you can find where you live.
