It looks like the Elites are using every channel possible and their own statements trying to get markets to crash
The news? | 8 April 2026 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

It appears that so many "elites" are making statements and publishing their financial moves (Bershire Hathaway admitting they're sittingon 400 billion in cash) in an effort to get retail customers (general public) to sell share or move their 401k accounts to cash (sell out) in order to get the market to crash. They have probably already shorted most everything and are hoping to make big bucks on the selloff.

It doesn't look like it's working. So many financial pundits are screaming we're going to have a crash that the roar is deafining. However, the markets are still holding up and will spike up today (per the futures). It makes everyone wonder what is going on. So, what is going on? The U.S. economy is somewhat fragile, money printing is at an extreme high, we facing massive inflation headwinds because of that and spiking oil prices. What is holding it all up? Who knows?

They are noticing, but someone is still holding. Markets way too high to support underlying economic numbers.

Probably big investors shorting stocks. As soon as whispers of war started, they bought options and prayed for war to crash the markets so the6 can buy back stock at a d8scounted price.

watch the movie "wallstreet".

My philosophy is to buy mutual funds in many asset classes: 3 dozen growth if it's a long time before retiring, add 1 dozen in bonds/treasuries/mutual fund asset classes if you're near or in retirement. Ignore market noise and stick to the strategy.

But I do have a tiny percentage of my portfolio (Roth IRA) that I do some options trading. We'll see how that goes. For that, I do pay close attention to market news and try to determine the reality above the noise, at least as it pertains to the underlying stock/ETF value.

I don’t watch news any longer with the exception of FBC and Maria. She along with guests have been exactly the opposite of this to the point of being somewhat slavering.

Shorting the market should somehow be illegal.

It would have been nice to have gotten the correction out of the way when it was dropping daily. Then the talk would cease.

I have noticed the MSM is trying to panic people.

Part of the Lefty's plan to try and deny Donald Trump success at anything.
