Crystal Ball Post Is Black Monday Incoming?

So much fear in the markets and this time really feels different. All the Mag7 stocks are so hit by the tariffs our iPhones will probably cost $5,000 soon and as the world slows, people will use Amazon less, advertise less on FB/IG. No one is buying Tesla anymore. Who needs anymore AI chips, yet AI is decreasing Google searches.

I fear the world is realizing it all this weekend. Or is it just me that sky appears to be falling?

You had our backs in 1945 — now we've got yours! (trying at least.. doing our best!)

Appreciate you folks I know how people feel in red states now. Like you can’t do anything about it but you know it’s so stupid!

As a lifelong Democrat in Texas, yup. Sucks being told it's your fault for being there and that people you love "deserve" bad things for where they live.

Same…Texan but I’m a recovering republican. I can’t even see a glimpse of what the party was and I’m never going back.

It’s amazing they can still blame dems after being in control of Texas for decades

Floridian here. It’s like when desantis said he would make a Florida doge and all of the republicans senators were like shut up you dumb fuck we’ve been controlling the states finances for 30 years.

I m in favor of looking at actions. I hated Biden s policy on students loans and support of Israel but you don’t “trade a mediocre veterinarian for a butcher” as someone said.

Biden was more like a heart surgeon repairing a damaged valve with the CHIPS act and his infrastructure bill.

u/joan_goodman 1d ago

Whatever. I m not giving a blanket approval for any actions just because I m a democrat. And if you ever hope to vote Trump out - so should be you, if you expect Republicans ever start looking at actual actions.

I’m not giving a blanket approval on Biden. I also disagreed with the handling of the Gaza situation, but that analogy is silly. It’s more like going from a very adept surgeon to a butcher.

I honestly hated Biden announcing “national emergency” to take power to forgive student loans. And he also supported Israel by giving money without Congress approval. This was absolutely terrible to me. Israel used the money to drop 500 ton indiscriminate bombs on civil population. This was something people could not support. Unfortunately Kamala did not make a strong stance against genocide either.

And here we are…with Trump allowing 2000 lb bombs to be dropped on Gaza and wanting to build a resort town on the ashes. But I digress, this is a stock sub after all, so we’re probably getting off topic.

Pretty sure loan bubble that Covid blew up was about to pop if you were paying attention it was about to be a trillion or more and he had to do something to defuse it. Regardless of how it was a threat to the markets because of all the debt. We’ve had many of these bubbles and they either pop or get defused.

I was a Republican, now they love Hitler and hate gays. Can't go there.

I refer to myself as a recovering Catholic 😂😂 glad we both made it to the other side of our cult experiences!

It’s even more amazing that Texans are stupid enough to never ever ask how the Dems did this. Boundless stupidity
