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.

You should go all in on some shorts. You could be a very rich man very quickly especially since you seem to know what’s coming next in the market.

Even I could see it coming. I share OPs astonishment. I do not have the sophistication or ability to do shorts, but I did switch all of my life savings to bond related investments. That seems to be working very well. I’m very grateful to all the buy the dip crowd for letting me do this at the last moment, but still quite astonished. Normally with this much advanced warning the market would have been much lower already.
