Why have Republicans stopped bragging about the stock market?

[Fuzzy1975]

Lol, bought some today and anticipating buying more early next week. Not trading on the major markets, anyways. Markets won't stay down for long, six months from now i bet they're up again. Better odds than the lottery, besides i don't buy more than i'm willing to lose. The corona virus won't make headlines forever.
But if you have any reason to think the markets won't go back up i'd love to hear them.

Dropped at the perfect time for us here in Canada if your looking for some RRSP's before the deadline....

What was that DingleDon said about 1,000 point drops? How many has he had now ... 4, 5, more?

Despite reality, Trump tries to blame market drops on Democrats
The more Wall Street drops, the more eager Trump is to blame his political foes, even though that doesn't make a lick of sense.

Charles Payne, a conservative host, argued -- with a straight face -- that the quadruple-digit Dow Jones drop could be linked directly to Bernie Sanders' victory in the Nevada caucuses two days prior. Asked if he genuinely believed the selloff was related to the Vermont senator, the commentator replied, "Absolutely. There's absolutely no doubt." He added, "The Bernie factor is finally rearing its head in the stock market."

Well from Trump's perspective it makes all the sense in the world, like it can't be his fault, right?

I actually think that in a way Trump is right.

I know, I know, you're going to say I must be some kinda derpy guy, but seriously, if you put aside the Lit crapfest for a second you can think about this.

MONEY is what is moving right now. Not your little investor, BIG MONEY.

Now, ask yourself why.

First, the leading indicators like the yield curve have been showing that the market was overdue for a correction. Most of the commentary from those "in the know" have been saying that it would probably happen this spring. Well, it's spring.

Now, ask yourself WHY this week? What happened?

Bernie happened. The socialist who is more than willing to campaign on a platform of wealth confiscation. Remember, it's BIG MONEY that's moving right now. The guys whose wallets would be in the bulls eye if Bernie is elected.

Guess what? Bernie is the guy to beat right now for the Demmies. Plus, the national polls are touting Bernie as being able to win this November over Trump. So, if you're one of the targets and the guy behind the trigger is polling ahead of the current Oval Office holder, what do you do?

HIDE THE MONEY!

You don't wait until the last second to do that either. You start early and move your money through all kinds of offshore holdings and accounts until even a seasoned forensic financial auditor can't find it. And that takes time.

The problem is that you need a reason to justify the move. If you just move it and then start hiding it, someone is going to get suspicious. Enter CVN19.

The "concern" is that the CoronaVirus is going to affect manufacturing capability in China. Except when you get beyond the headline you notice that China has over 1 billion people and only about 88 thousand cases of CoronaVirus. And, from what I've seen, the majority of cases aren't in the manufacturing areas.

But, it's a PERFECT excuse.

I could be way wrong because I'm not one of the movers/shakers of Wall Street but that's my take on it. The market was due, Bernie's possible election and social engineering agenda is bad for big money, and the CoronaVirus is a perfect reason to duck and cover. Perfect storm.

Derpy thinks Trump is right and admits he's no player on Wall Street. No way, Captain Obvious!

So yeah, your limited intellect prevented you from getting past the first 10 words.

Which is a major improvement, you're up from your previous max of 8 words! Winning!

I have a TV show idea: put trampolines on Wall Street on a crash day.

Predictions are if Bernie gets elected could be as bad as the Great Depression. Markets will tank like we’ve never seen. This is about 4 long years. Couple that with the CoronaVirus and vaccines not in play till after the elections, can’t be good for markets.

Predictions are worthless. Note that Hillary isn’t President. Markets generally do well under Democrats. Don’t be stupid. No one knows.

Oh, OK, the ambulance chaser says coronavirus is just the excuse for the market drop, but actually it's Bernie Sanders' fault.

Wow. And I thought I'd witnessed the depth of Harpy's stupidity when he told me that Apaches were "racist" for wanting to maintain their own homeland. The Trump era really has become a serial case of Dumb and Dumber.

Seems to me if that is true, ol donald duck shouldn't be taking credit when it is going up

Ok dudly, give us your reason why the market tanked. Let's hear how you spin the fact that <.01% (less than 1 tenth of 1 percent) of the global population being sick can cause a global financial catastrophe. We're all ears (noses, teeth, scales, tails, and firey breath too) waiting on your heretofore unexhibited financial genius and expertise to edificate us.

Like I said, apparently you don't know how the stock market works. I understand that the idea of selling something you don't own is difficult for some people to grasp; but if you sell an item for a high price and buy it for a low price, you make a "profit". You can make even MORE profit when the price you pay for the item, after you sold it, is falling through the floor.

We're talking shorts, right?

 

[HisArpy]

Yes.

Some people are taking it in the shorts, others are selling short. Guess which ones are making the money.

As a note bene, I don't do that. I'm not astute enough to gauge the market and know which stocks are going to fall and by how much. However, I sold my last ETF on a bump the other day. Which stopped the blood loss and gave me a bit more cap gains in my portfolio. When the market stabilizes, I'll buy back in again to the same ETF's when their prices are at or near the bottom. IIRC, my best ETF has something like a 19% average return over 10 years with moderate risk. That's a good investment in my opinion.

"Edificate"? Is that even a word? Edify -yes. Educate - yes. Edificate - not so sure, or at least Webster doesn't think so.
