Guys, the markets will be terrible for the average investor, but this is the time when smart investors make millions. Of course there are no smart investors here, so please disregard

If you define "smart investor" as "someone with advance knowledge of what the hell Trump is gonna do next, and whether he will actually DO what he says or walk it back immediately", sure.

aka a republican congress member

u/GuizmoPeg Mar 04 '25

There's not a soul in the GOP who knows what Trump will do tomorrow, he himself must not know when he goes to sleep. What the initial comment implies is basically a way to assume there is just no smart investor at all...

u/HammerTh_1701 Mar 04 '25

I don't know about the all-caps posts on his own social media, but his tweets usually started at 3 AM when he couldn't sleep anymore and started brainfarting all over the internet. That's how stuff like covfefe happened.

u/GuizmoPeg Mar 04 '25

How sad is it that everybody got over covfefe and forgot about it that easy

I'm forced to listen to Fox fairly regularly because of reasons, and it's been a little fun listening to them flip flop on whether ukraine bad or ukraine good on a biweekly basis because they're trying to be a trump mouthpiece but he keeps changing his opinion so often

How can anyone make trades based on prediction here when it's all pure chaos? The wider market is more slot machine than ever.

Nancy Pelosi says Hello

u/soontobeDVM2022 Mar 04 '25

Right, because all democratic politicians are normal/fair investors? Pelosi ring a bell?

2

u/Adodger22 Mar 04 '25

Luckily none of them are in power, right?

Or does that blow apart your argument?

The best part is that NOBODY in the GOP is innocent and you can point to maybe 10 in the DNC that are ARGUABLY insider trading.

Meanwhile, the dumpster is literally rug pulling his voters with his own shitcoin.

u/soontobeDVM2022 Mar 04 '25

I think they both suck. I'm more libertarian tbh.

2

u/Adodger22 Mar 04 '25

Well at least we agree on that.

I'm not a libertarian because I don't believe corporations give a damn about me, but our government is complete shit.

u/HumbertHumbertHumber Mar 04 '25

at this point, just throw random crazy ideas together. A random one I had just now was that employers will be forced to offer their employees an option to be paid in cash or crypto. Absolutely nothing to back that up with but lets be real, betting on stupid random crazy shit seems to be a more viable strategy these days.

u/Din0zavr Mar 04 '25

Tbh I doubt even Trump knows what he is going to do next.

u/Sea-Ice7028 Mar 04 '25

Well, Elon probably does. deep existential sigh.

u/3xc1t3r Mar 04 '25

The smart investor is the person with inside knowledge.

3

u/ThorgiTheCorgi Mar 04 '25

Don't forget millions in liquid capital to take advantage of said knowledge!

u/21Rollie Mar 04 '25

I have a reliable ex-KGB source for this

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '25

I think they just meant you can buy low now.

u/Orangevol1321 Mar 05 '25

It's called buying the dip. Lol

How does the stock market perform under an oligarchy?

u/a_f_s-29 26d ago

Wait for the crash and buy cheap. Except your money will have also lost value

u/OSSlayer2153 Mar 04 '25

u/CodAlternative3437 Mar 04 '25

u/Bam_Margiela Mar 04 '25

u/DoctorRobot16 Mar 04 '25

u/alexunderwater1 Mar 04 '25

Smart investors? Or investors with inside information on what random thing will be announced tomorrow?

u/sab0tender Mar 04 '25

Most are dis-disregard already.

u/Deadandlivin Mar 04 '25

Can't wait for another round of Warren Buffet increasing his networth by 20% while 97% of this sub halves their own.

u/animeisghey Mar 04 '25

Im a full fledge regard.

u/ParkityParkPark Mar 05 '25

What a time to not qualify for options trading. GIVE ME MY PUTS

1

u/Inside-Discount-939 29d ago

The fact that there are no smart investors here means that I can make a lot of money just by doing the opposite.

u/Peripatetictyl Mar 04 '25

I feel like so many subs do a version of ‘the top voted comment gets/names/wins/etc.,

This is our time to shine, fam, hear me out.

Every day we do a ‘best stock of the day’ elected by the top up-doodly-do’s and:

Step 2:…

Step 3: I think… we short that stock, right? Because we are collectively a Regardasarous, like when the power rangers come together and make that giant lizard thing.

And, how was the green one playing a knife-flute while wearing a helmet?
