Is this the bubble burst many were expecting once The Federal Reserve starting raising rates?
Well, if today’s market opening is an indication, the answer is yes. The NASDAQ Composite Index is down 1.36% and West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil futures prices are down 2%.
But if you think the US equities are deflating, look at European equities. The Euro Stoxx 50 index is down 3.20%.
Is this a Don Ho “Tiny Bubble” burst? Or a slow deflation of asset prices as The Fed removes its stimulus?

You are going to happy for a short time and then disappointed again as disaster doesn’t happen and life goes on.
What happens after “crashes” by the way?
Chocolate Bitcoin, so you can eat your losses!
These sell off days are very predicable. Sell off till about 10-10:30 and then bounce up till about 11:30-12. After that, who knows. I’ve played that setup for literally decades.
Read great minds later.
‘He barely made a dent in the problem’
He was on his own. Attacked by the left. Betrayed from within by the ‘right’.
A whole bunch of supposed Republicans were complicit and happy to have him gone.
Trump said something to that effect a few weeks ago.
He said that it may already be to late.
“Some of us think he’s accelerating its arrival..”
Probably true.
Biden and his handlers want to punish Americans for having the audacity to support President Trump.
Plus a depression will create more dependency on Government and can be used to further divide us.
I move in and buy. That’s what happens after a crash.
Speaking of terrible just went to the market and in the chicken section all there are is a few thighs and uber over priced wings.
Thank for posting hard data with dates.
The dems have been in control of the House and Senate for the past 13 years.
Even when the RNC had all three branches under POTUS Trump, the DNC was allowed to rule.
Recall that it was the RNC that allowed passage of Obama Care in the first few months of Hussein's reign.
The second year of Biden’s RESIDENCY in the White House is not looking good.
As the saying goes: “The chickens are coming home to roost.”
The stock market has been pumped up with ‘stimulus money’ for two years and fundamentals for the companies are not stellar.
This stock market downturn could become very nasty.
Look at the yield you can get with ET or the oils.
“My Bitcoin will save me, because of how stable it is.”
LOL. Nice one.
“Fixed Indexed Annuities. LOL”
A friend took one out. During 2020-2021 he was making 8-9%.
I was making 22-30% on my mutual funds...and I have mid risk accounts. My wifes Morgan Stanley account made 44%
The insurance co makes all the money.
Exactly why I try not to make a big move, I’ll target solid companies that pay a dividend and buy on dips - like today. So long as nothing fundamental happens to the stock I’ll buy more if it dips further. ...then patience. In general it’s worked for me over the years - not a greedy or get-rich-quick approach.
I tried to warn everyone, a few days ago. 😂😩
“I knew a few folks who cashed out and put all their money into gold ..they missed the greatest stock market return in our countries history from 2010 to present.”
The 2008-2009 crash was tough. But those who didn’t panic or let politics rule their investments came out fine after a few years. One can not time these things. At these levels a correction or crash can occur at any time.
I learned long ago it is better to ride them out but only if one is a long term investor and keeps their eye on the horizon. It is indeed tough watch one’s nest egg cut in half. It takes a lot of discipline to stomach these things.
One almost has to get into the mode of rebalancing maybe once a quarter and not even looking at the market in between. Doing nothing can sometimes be better than overmanaging if the portfolio is set up right.
Very similar to my approach. I build positions slowly, trying to avoid overpaying for shares.
