The “Market” can be crashed with a few buttons. This may very well be a plot to drain Trump’s influence. Nothing has worked so far, so the shadow money-holders may be taking one for the Shadow Team to put him in his place.
There is an article on Drudge “The FED wants Blood?”/ The secret societies and globalists want to take down the will of the American People, Donald Trump. They destroyed his most obvious success. Their profit taking gives them large amounts of money to fight Trump.
The Market was at records high, so the corrections will be larger too. Of course the media wants everyone to panic so they can blame Trump...
Markets go up and markets go down. Ditto individual stocks and commodities and bonds. Get over it. Either you accept risk or don’t play. Quit whining.
An enormously expensive market does not need a catalyst for a drop. It just drops. This thing has been a one way bet since April, and it was overdue for a correction and we’re getting it. Not the end of the world unless one was playing over his head.
I have a significant amount of money in the stock market, but I reacted to the recent drop (which I see as a market correction) the same way I react when an online estimate of my home’s value drops from one week to the next - with complete indifference.
I’m not planning to sell my stocks or my home for years. What I care about is the true underlying value, and that does not change for either my home or my stocks just because of a panic, profit-taking, or other short-term fluctuations. Watch the market for the next month, year, eight Trump years. The long term is what matters.
Is this almost expected? I mean to sustain growth in the markets as we have seen in the last year or so is impossible. Add into the mix of rising wages people begin to speculate about interest rates rising as well. In the end what make the market tick is companies making money and investors wanting to get in on the action. I do not foresee very many companies nosediving anytime soon. All the moves that Trump has initiated will stimulate this economy further... that in turn will keep the markets profitable. Yea this was a huge haircut but the underlying conditions of the economy will prevent this from being a ‘crash’. Biggest point loss ever and Ive seen almost no ‘chicken little’ BS from the MSM. You have the usual liberal pissants who will try to score their points on this drop but I think even they know this doesnt spell disaster... which as we all know the liberal media thrives on.
The Fed pumped a trillion dollar a year into the stock market to prop up prices during the Obama regime.
That was a trillion dollars per year of air.
We always knew there would be a correction.
Or did you miss that?
NPR this morning was even saying this does not reflect any “news” or economic bad news in general. They saw it as a blip and probably brought on by profit taking, a “correction”, and fears that the economy is so good that it is increasing fear of higher interest rates.
The fact that they are not blaming Trump is perplexing. There is a lot about this that doesn’t make sense. It would cause me to get out if I was in.
The primary cause is a lack of supply, all this demand is creating shortages, basically the economy is too good.
I’ve been hearing that the market was way overdue for a correction.
It is well known that the stock market is subject to “irrational exuberance” and inevitable corrections. Clearly the election of an overtly capitalist President to replace a socialist President who disdained small business entrepreneurs, loved regulations and taxes, and saw economic growth as environmentally harmful created joy and confidence in investors. The beneficial result of Trump’s economic policies remains especially for job creating and wealth creating small businesses and entrepreneurs. Yet the massive Federal, State, and local debts remain. There are huge unfunded liabilities and the Democrats are always working to weaken the economy and culturally transform America. It is a long battle that will not follow a straight,comforting course.
Calm down, corrections happen all the time.
This market was overheated, because of a lot of media hype and too many people got greedy, and bid up the prices beyond where they should have been.
When big traders realize that, and sell their stocks to lock in the profits, the resulting big trades can move the market down. Then, other computerized trading systems recognize the fall and decide it’s time to sell too - before long, there’s a cascade down...
...until people decide stock prices are attractive again, and start buying, and prices go up again.
This is always how the market works, it’s just accelerated now with these big computer programs that move instantly. Long-term trend is still up.
Markets don’t like uncertainty. The memo revealed high-level corruption with long-term implications. Nor does it help when Henny Penny Pelosi runs around saying things like “Constitutional Crisis.”
The Stock Market and The Greater Fool Theory:
“The greater fool theory states that the price of an object is determined not by its intrinsic value, but rather by irrational beliefs and expectations of market participants. A price can be justified by a rational buyer under the belief that another party is willing to pay an even higher price. In other words, one may pay a price that seems “foolishly” high because one may rationally have the expectation that the item can be resold to a “greater fool” later.”
Here you can see that only in 2017 (The start of the Trump presidency) can you see the Fed raising rates at a very steep angle. There is no need to raise rates as inflation is very low.
The Fed will continue raising rates as they have SAID they will . They want to crash the stock market and real estate market to cause a recession to destroy Trump.
Noticed there is an absence of market analyst saying what a great buying opportunity this is.
“”due to profit taking by liberal democrats””
HA! That would mean politicians as according to them, the middle class has been decimated by Republicans for years and they have nothing.....no investments/no profits!
BTW, once the price begins to slide downward through stop loss trigger prices, there is a quick buildup of sale orders which chase prices downward.
I never use stop loss orders for that reason.
As the market stands right now, I think traders are going to be testing the market for a bottom so they can jump in a pick up some bargains.
Soros at work? I have no idea how he manipulates markets and currencies but I’m sure he is at work - not even behind the scenes anymore - with Schiff as his puppet! Don’t even pretend to understand any of it except to know that there’s a whole lot of corruption going on!
