Most Predictable Drop of All Time

I posted here right after the first crash in February “Don’t buy the dip, this is more 1929 vibes than 2001.” In response I got almost 100 replies telling me not to time the market, before it got removed by mods for being a “question” (it was not).

Literally all Trump is doing is exactly what he promised on the campaign. And virtually every economist knew it would cause a recession. Even after the crash yesterday he doubled down, saying he might add tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals too. He is simply trying to remove us from global markets, and it’s working!

Buy the dip once people start actually pushing back against Trump - no real reason to buy before that point.

Its true. It was announced by several people running the show over the last few months.

People on this sub confuse 'timing the market' with being told by the pres there is a recession incoming.

There are so many comments about buying the dip and technical indicators doing xyz.

My shorts are taking money from fools and I'm sleeping well.

Just like he said "I'm going to tariff the fuck out of you" and also "I'm going to crush inflation and reduce the price of gas and groceries". A recession and a golden era. No inflation but a bunch of tariffs and deportation. Destroying the economy to save a thin layer of shitty manufacturing and production jobs for the "working men and women of America", but also planning on giving a giant tax cut to the 1%. These things make no sense together and there's no coherent strategy. AND they're randomly sprinkled with lies but you can't tell which ones.

This is why it's so fucking dumb when people, like OP and tons of others ITT, pretend Trump had some kind of super obvious and coherent strategy or policy position that was guaranteed to destroy everything. If you sold and/or shorted everything prior to this, you just got lucky. Period. You're not a wizard or a genius. There was no obvious-anything that was going to come from Trump. Not only does the man lie like he breathes, he also just says a bunch of shit that's straight up contradictory to itself. I'm getting really tired of this holier than thou "oh it was so obvious" crowd. The hell it was. It's like I'm listening to a lottery winner lecture me about how obvious it is that everyone should play the lottery.

he wanted to create one. He thinks that's how you beat inflation because it worked once before.
