Zoom out. Up 82% in the 5 year… 82%!!!! That is retarded. We are way too comfortable with thinking 20% gains per year is normal. There needs to be a correction

Steady growth is actually what you can expect with globalization on the rise. This isn’t a correction it’s man made interference.

So how much does it need to dip before you think it's bad?

COVID dropped the markets 35%. It’s going to need to be a lot more than 8% for me to worry.

You have to remember how much inflation we had, and that we’re soon to have again.

The reason why the markets were so up was because of money printing and the economy reopening after COVID. The amount printed and funneled into the markets is not sustainable and is the exact reason why we had so much inflation to begin with. If we continue printing money, yes inflation will go up but if we don’t it will stabilize. The ideas of the tariffs is to incentivize companies domestic and abroad to manufacture and deal in the US, rather than us relying on other countries goods and bond purchases to keep us propped up. Of course it’s going to hurt at first, but overtime it will help. We were not sustainable where we were. Gotta take your medicine. It’s like chemo for a cancer patient.
