Trump said he's not ruling out a recession, so now markets are starting to price it in.

To be fair, we all know a crash is coming.
I was holding onto a fair amount of bank stock for dividends, drops have probably wiped off the same amount.
A crash has been predicted once a month for at least the past year. Say it now and then, someone will get it right.
Everyone says you cant time the market? Well you can now, This will be one of the best buy ins for a year or 2 coming up.
And hurry up because i want my huge losses to be pumped back so i can stop crying.

Bad inflation data and a government shutdown later in the week and we could see a further drop...
Seeing Tesla crash is the best part about it but even after the falls it is still crazy expensive.

most average joe's (retail invester) stocks is very unlikely to make the share price move, unless a millions of average joe's club together like what happen with Gamestop.
The large movements show that the whales like banks, pension funds, mutual funds brokers are moving out of the stock.
There is a possibility that Trump is deliberately manipulating the economy to put pressure on the Federal reserve to more aggressively cut rates. He'd love to have control of the central bank but he hasn't managed that yet so maybe the next best thing is push them into a corner. The problem is that his other economic policies seem to be inflationary which don't lend themselves to rate cuts.
The other explanation is that he's just freelancing and doesn't understand that loose talk costs lives. Hard to know with him at times.

I laugh...but was thinking exactly the same thing.
Now to try and time the bottom....not that I've got it right before.
My pension is 55% in us equities, so this is hard to see. But I don’t think I’m ready to move it out just yet.
I’ve got a big bonus going in this month and my contributions split is actually 70% into us equities. I’ll change that for sure tonight or tomorrow.

You have to wonder where the bottom is.
Its anyone's guess.
America could well plough it's self down the global pecking order.
Sky High PEs + tactics to scare off your trading partners is a sure fire way to tank the economy.
UK PEs are so so small vs US giants.
There could be serious falls if the world really does back away from the US.
In a sadistic way.. This is going to be fascinating to watch. Painful. But fascinating.
I'm wondering if it will in time really hurt the average American and there'll be a backlash against trump at some point.
4 years at least.. And we are only a few months in. All bets are off.
It feels that way when you get a red day like this but the facts are that the S&P500 is only down 7.7% in the last three months so we haven't even hit the 10% correction threshold yet. Plenty downside to come potentially. For context it's about the same size as the pullback in August when the Japanese carry trade spook happened.

I doubt it will bounce back up again this time though. This has further to run IMO, and could easily be a correction and more.
I fully recommend that approach. For me it's like one of those slow motion car crashes where you know you really shouldn't look, but can't help it!still not looking....
