The view today (stinky) from 30,000 feet

edited November 20 in Other Investing
I see today's drastic moves--- both up and then down---as an instance in the manufactured pattern of excess volatility in the Markets brought on by an Orange regime which is like a child put in charge of constructing a skyscraper. What could possibly go wrong?

  • @ Crash. Today’s market is the perfect metaphor for what’s going on in the orange regime. It’s frantic, it’s unglued, it’s beyond logic and IMHO ,,, it can’t go out much longer. An implosion, explosion is coming.

    Holy Jaypers, I hope you're right!
  • @crash. Take a look at Charlie Garcia at market watch today and a listen to the recent Thoughtful Money episode with Stephanie Pomboy. Similar theme. I don’t know if the markets can handle chaos and insanity at the top for much longer. The best near term temporary solution would be a 25 amendment. Can we count on professional repugnants to do what is right for the country? Hardly.
  • The 25th amendment is interpreted by his ring kissers (cough: Cabinet) as offering zero counter-argument when Dear Leader talks about running for a 3rd term.
  • He will not get a 3rd term. Ain't happening.

    Leave him on a tiny iceberg and shove it off towards Greenland...on a Sunny day.

    d (mistakenly thought thread was about the markets.)
  • @hank. You know many smart people think the president of the United States is in a full blown frenzy… freaking out. Out of his mind. Of course he might or even likely will do something to impact markets in a bad way. So yes. This thread is ABOUT THE MARKETS.

    Today’s market is up due to the increased chance of rate cut in light of weak labor market. Quite honestly, cutting rate will not promote more hiring and less layoff. Companies are uncertain of future investment due to the tariffs.

    Project 2025 is the radical craziness, not anything from the Dems or Mamdani.
