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.

I said cash and gold bullion were the safe plays over a month ago and got downvoted into oblivion.

Sir, if we are seeing what i think we are seeing, be prepared to be wildly right and probably make some nice money along the way

Up 5% in the last month including today's crash. S&P is down 13% in the same time frame. Gold price only goes down during market crash because people need money, it recovers much faster than the market when the crashes are correlated.
