Could never catch a break in the markets. Still have 13k left and 15k in the bank. Ill be buying more calls soon. Will not stop until I make back my money!
I think that 2020 broke a lot of people's faith in the idea that the market was tied to any sort of real fundamentals.
I remember watching Disney (a movie, cruise ship, and theme park company) take a huge dive right at the start of COVID and then IMMEDIATLY begin to climb back up before peaking 35% above it's pre COVID all time high in March of 2021 before the cruises had even fucking started up again and park attendance was still terrible and nobody was going to the movies ONLY TO THEN BEGIN DECLINING ONCE EVERYTHING DID IN FACT REOPEN.
So sure, why NOT make a "tarrifs make stonks go brrrrr" play? I mean, I'M not doing that shit...but you people can.
Because the problem was everyone thought covid was the end of the world while otherwise the economy was basically fine. So when we dealt with covid, the world went right back to chuggin along.
Its the same with today, basically the economy was fine then Don rode up and did a gangland style execution of it in the middle of the street.
If Don had a stroke and the tariffs evaporated tomorrow, the dow could go to 50k next month.
08 was such a problem because the problems happened BECAUSE OF the economy.
2020 and 2025 are problems because crazy shit is HAPPENINGTO the economy.
When theres a crash because of an outside factor, simply removing that outside factor usually results in a quick turnaround. Its the systemic problems that take forever to sort out.
I would completely agree with you if they weren’t also destroying social safety nets and so many of our governmental agencies. Rebuilding will take time and serious effort. Do you or how do you see these things affecting the markets recovery?
The entire market did that though, but the gov gave away a few hundred billion to refloat everything. The current world order was always on borrowed time and now we have squandered it.
I think the big difference with that is that Trump was desperate to get re-elected and he wasn’t just going to let that chance slip into the gutter. So he artificially pumped the economy by giving everyone tendies to do so. Even if it came with horrible inflation.
As always, remember the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Meaning you better get your mental checked out daily because it’s gonna be a bit of a pain in the short and long term.
Look, I am by no means a trader, let alone a professional trader but I do know that revenge trading will almost always blow up your account completely until you have literally nothing left. Maybe it's time to take a week or two off? Take up fishing or something? Then, after you clear your head and come up with a more solid strategy, come back and try again.
Unfortunately you’re not one of the insider billionaires who’s know exactly when the tariffs get reversed so odds are you won’t time your calls correctly
