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.

The rest of the world will not forget about the tariff nonsense. This was the kick in the ass the rest of the world needed to make contingency plans, to work toward reducing their reliance on the U.S. for everything.

Executing on these plans will have costs, which will be reflected in guidance and earnings.

You can't un-burn your house. And we are definitely, very much on fire right now.
