Most people, sadly, are not paying attention or intellectually curious enough to even understand what's happening. They view these things as if they are the weather -- things that "just happen." Democracy is overrated lol.

To be fair we have had our foot in Middle Eastern conflict since the 50s. Most Americans don’t remember a time without it.

True

What’s dry powder ?

Cash to invest, which also means they have missed A LOT of gains the past 6 years.

20-30% really - this is just noise right now

We can’t even drop 30% in a day right?

U.S. market-wide circuit breakers can trigger at different levels, specifically at declines of 7% (Level 1), 13% (Level 2), and 20% (Level 3) in the S&P 500 Index:
Trading Halt Durations:

Level 1 and Level 2: If triggered before 3:25 p.m. ET, trading is halted for 15 minutes. If triggered at or after this time, trading will continue without a halt.
Level 3: This level halts trading for the remainder of the trading day, regardless of the time it is triggered.

And Israel was concocted in 1948. Coincidence? Unlikely...

There is a LOT of money to be made in war, and Silicon Valley has pivoted back to its Fairchild roots and is queuing up to provide all sorts of warfighter solutions.

Outraged here ...in fact it doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about this.

What worries me most though if this becomes and excuse for the market to finally reflect the true state of our economy and job market. And if it does, I will not be surprised if the Dow goes below 40000 by the end of April.

Well, this aged badly, and we are down 1000 points in the Dow

PP here you are correct. But lets see the cumulative drop. If you buy the dip today and it goes further down 1000 pts that's gambling unless you are buying/selling aka same day investing person. Most of us don't have the time to do this. We can only buy the dip once we see a general trend.

Well i was already planning to buy some more tech funds, as I realized the Vanguard tech index doesn’t include Google or Facebook because they are classified as communication not tech. So I am buying some QQQ and hope this doesn’t completely bite me.

time to buy

I don’t see any point in republicans committing economical suicide before the midterm : no interest rate reduction, inflation worsens, everyone’s retirements suffer.
I think Trump will emerge with a “victory over Iran” speech by the end of this week as he always did before. And the affiliated fund managers are deep buying South Korea and France for now
