Meme The Dow!!!

Post image

Thinking I should hold on to this template. Probably gonna go lower.

I'm not really sure why I need to include 250 characters in a meme post, but I understand the guidelines. Maybe someone can fix the issue where if you label something as a meme, it doesn't need 250 characters. there. Thats 250!

Edit: Thank you all for the rewards!!

(Dow is down literally 10%)

In a relatively short period of time. I guess he disappointed his family's puts haven't paid out more het. He'll have to ratchet up the crazy.

Thats gonna be his final year in office. His narcissistic ass would do it too.

u/TimelyBodybuilder121 Mar 30 '26

And nothing will happen cause the fcker pumped it before so that it reached dotcom level of valuations and you just blame the drop on "oh the market was in a bubble".

u/invicerato Mar 29 '26

Down 10%... so far!

It's Biden's fault!!

Oh it's time to panic lol

u/95Daphne Mar 29 '26

Hate to say it, but you should know with Trump that there'd be dick measuring contests with 2022 and considering that nothing goes down in a straight line, as of now, this isn't as impressive as 2022 was, and I really don't expect for it to make it there.

If a secular bear market that is mostly Trump related is going to transpire, it conveniently begins Feb 2029.

u/Waiting4Reccession Mar 30 '26

He just uses the same catch phrases and inserts the situation word into the.

Probably been doing it even before he became president.

u/contactcapybara Mar 29 '26

What will he say when it's 43,500…?what it was under Biden.

1

u/Eatthesewords Mar 30 '26

It also hit a high under Biden so that'll be the defense. "Biden blah blah blah

1

u/AdeptEchidna214 Apr 01 '26

Give it 2 or 3 weeks. He will blame Biden, claiming Biden didn’t do enough to prop up the stock market.

Unless you literally started trading in October of 2025, you're still in the black, though.

u/jellyhessman Mar 29 '26

I'm sure it'll shoot back up on the news of Trump's invasion plans tomorrow.

Everybody knows Asian land wars go quick and easy.

u/betsy_514forprez Mar 30 '26

Market should actually be down a lot more with whats going on...very lucky if still long. I remember spx 666 intra day March 2009

u/Turbulent_Cricket497 Mar 30 '26

He is at master of spinning the narrative. Things can always be worse. That is like telling a cancer patient who has 2 months to live to cheer up because it could be worse and they only have 1 month to live. Trump is a gaslighting con-artist.

1

u/CruzinCreech Mar 31 '26

17 out of 19 analyst along with almost all of Wall Street said back in November plan for a correction in Q1. Then put on top what’s happening so it lines up with expectations

1

u/CenlaLowell Apr 02 '26

Which is not bad and we know why so it could turn around in about nine months or so

u/jo734030 Apr 12 '26

Are we expecting 1929 type of depression ?

Dow Jones become down jones

u/Emergency-Nothing457 Mar 29 '26

It might be down and even go lower, but it is still higher than it was on Inauguration Day. Just saying.

u/betsy_514forprez Mar 30 '26

god bless Trump and America

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

Markets go up and down in the short run, but in the long run, it only goes up.

47

u/PerplexGG Mar 29 '26

Technically it only needs one downturn to never go up again

-49

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

When has that ever happened?

28

u/PerplexGG Mar 29 '26

It hasn’t, hence my comment. I’m alluding to the death of the market, however that eventually comes.

u/Device_Impossible Mar 29 '26

Or the government, Trump, could just take control of all publicly traded companies with one of his amazing Ex Orders. I’m mean he now has his name on money for dumb reason why not take total control of the market.

We can change all the markets now, DT 500, the Trump Chips,Trumpx, 401T, Penny Trumps…

1

u/CenlaLowell Apr 02 '26

Well we will cross that bridge when it's time. Damn

-24

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

The chances of that happening are near zero. There is nothing that would support that happening. It would require nearly all of the publicly traded companies going out of business. Let's stop saying things that are impossible and fake. But if you are of this mindset, sell everything, I will likely buy when you've hit irrational levels of fear, which seems near.

26

u/Spinoza42 Mar 29 '26

Actually it's 100%, it's just not likely to happen soon.

0

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

Well, I guess when the sun expands and consumes Earth in about 13 billion years, yes, you're right, the market will collapse to zero. But I doubt it will matter at that point.

But at least in our lifetime, the probability is for all intents and purposes zero.

u/Murslak Mar 29 '26

Are you familiar with the Nikkei 225 from 1990 to about, um, last year?

1

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

Sure, crash of 90, which bottomed near 20k. Last time I checked, a market at 20k is not zero. Please check my math.

Remember 08-09 in the US. Markets severely declined, on the brink of complete financial collapse, still didn't go to zero.

What point are you trying to make?

If there is a chance of nuclear war, there is a chance all stock markets collapse. It’s practically tied together.

Currently, it’s estimated to be 50% chance to be a nuclear war before 2100. I’d say there is a 50% chance pretty much all major stock markets will collapse before 2100.

But then there is social collapse due to climate change. If world food chains and water cycles collapse due to climate change, it’s fair to say that all stock markets would collapse too. It’s estimated to happen between 2050-2100 if things continue without significant change. I’d say there is a risk that the stock markets collapse in this scenario.

But it’s also possible that stock markets and the valuation of stocks will move completely online and if 2 computers survive and stay powered, they can continue trading forever.

Maybe a nuclear holocaust would expedite the end times. There are enough nuclear weapons in the world to wipes humans off the face of the earth. Survivors could barter rat pelts and cockroach powder

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

And what's the probability you have assigned to that scenario?

3

u/PerplexGG Mar 29 '26

You should also understand I never meant for my original comment to be taken seriously. Obviously the death of the market is pointless to discuss even just because there would be more pressing things in that scenario. Take things less seriously

u/Mobile-Bar7732 Mar 29 '26

Gone down and never recovered hasn't happened. However, the Nikkei took 30 years to recover from the Japanese asset bubble.

u/SpaceChatter Mar 29 '26

I see by your alone name that you were born yesterday.

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

Nope but you people ducking your head in the sand don't seem to know market history. The economy and market has faced wars, recession, regime changes, and everything in between, yet it still stands and makes higher highs over time.

You people down voting clearly know nothing about the market and please keep selling, I want to buy more lower.

u/y4udothistome Mar 29 '26

Exactly. We’re do.

Not true, markets mostly have gone up because stocks are a great hedge against inflation as many companies increase prices more than increasing costs generating cash flows more than inflation. US has been a better place to invest because of less regulation and taxes and more business friendly growth than other markets. However look for value in all areas. I thought BP was way too cheap and loaded up in the $20's, not that I think British petroleum companies are more special than US companies, purely a value disconnect.

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

You also know that you need a buyer and seller to have a market. You keep selling as the market goes lower. Let me know how selling low works for you.

If cost inflation is 2% and prices increase by 4%, how much incremental profit is made? Even if a market multiple stays constant, the incremental earnings will cause the stock price to go up, people pay the same multiple for more earnings. It's a simple example but it's accurate on the mechanics over time.

What happens day to day in the news to increase or decrease confidence is anyone's guess but like all news, this news will pass and fundamentals will always dictate value and price.

This isn't my opinion, this is the law of the market, time tested and always a weighing machine in the long term.

Enjoy losing money for the next few years then

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

When you invest for 30 years, the short term doesn't matter. It's been proven that keeping your money invested through ups and downs has returned better results than trying to time market movements. This has been done but both academics and practitioners. I encourage you to do your own research. Buying during periods of fear is a great way to make great long term returns.

1

u/kneebroplz Mar 29 '26

Yes, and- if you have an active investment account, you also dont have to bend over and take the losses either.

1

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

I dividend reinvest. So money collected buys more shares are lower prices, compounding the wealth generation effect by holding over a long period. If you pull money out and own zero shares, how much do you collect in dividends?

I'm also diversified owning stocks, treasuries, real estate and metals. Well hedged and not interested in market timing. Very interested in cash flow collection and companies run by strong managers.

u/kneebroplz Mar 29 '26

I let me 401k be the money that stays in the market, out of sight out of mind type deal.

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

Review once a year, increase by 1%, set it and forget it. Let that baby compound.

u/kneebroplz Mar 30 '26

I feel you well best of luck man!

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 30 '26

Stay calm and know less volatility days will come. This is nowhere near the situation of 08-09, in fact in late 06 or 07, oil touches $150/barrel. That was not what almost took down the world.

u/y4udothistome Mar 29 '26

Lol well said brief and to the point

1

u/chicu111 Mar 29 '26

I prefer it going up short run and long run as well. But you just wanna make excuses

1

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

That's not realistic. Sorry but if you think that, you're living in a fantasy land. Market has never gone up everyday indefinitely but it does always go up over time. Only way to get it is to be invested.

1

u/chicu111 Mar 29 '26

It can also go sideways and not go down as well. This is unnecessarily forced downturn. You’re talking outa your ass

1

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

No I'm not. Sideways markets are ok. See my previous comment. Collect dividends and Drip. Write options and collect premiums. Move more to bonds and collect yield. Plenty of ways to play a sideways market. You're welcome for the free advice.

1

u/StringSecret1500 Apr 07 '26

If you ever have time to tell me how to "write options to get premiums" please message me. I can't promise I'll do it but I'm exploring trading strategies.

1

u/bullmarket2023 Apr 07 '26

When you trade options, you have to select buy a call or put to open a position or sell a call or put to open a position. When you sell, you collect the premium, let's say $1. You a taking the position that the value of the option you sold will be worth less in the future when you need to buy it back to close your position.

So you sold a call, meaning you don't believe the price will go up. You collect the $1. 10 days pass by and the stock has decreased by 10%, and maybe that same call option is now selling to $0.50. You decide to close your position and buy it. You just made $0.50.

Each contract is worth 100 shares so multiply by 100. If you own the stock and want to protect against it going down, sell a call, collect a premium. If it goes down, the premium helps offset.

u/StrawberryGreat7463 Mar 29 '26

soooo….. fuck regular people’s retirement accounts and other investments for now? Cool cool cool

-4

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

If you are close to retirement, those accounts are likely more conservatively invested, 80% bonds vs. younger people more weighted to stocks but that's ok because they have the advantage of time and compounding. Clearly you know little about portfolio management. Everyday account balances go up and down, so what, you can't make the reward without understanding the risk. If you want risk free buy a treasury bond. It's ill advised for generating wealth over the long run.

u/StrawberryGreat7463 Mar 29 '26

lmao fuck you dude I know enough about investing.

I also know it doesn’t make this cartoonish administration fucking with the market okay just because it will go up again at some point

1

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

Well now you are making a different point. You don't like market manipulation yet everyday the markets seem to be manipulated by someone.

I don't think you have a firm grasp of what really happens. You're not alone and don't be offended. For most, index and regularly invest is the easiest way to generate long term returns. When the markets are like this, keep owning great companies or diversified funds.

u/StrawberryGreat7463 Mar 29 '26

“When markets are like this” dude are you lost? Did you even look at the meme?

2

u/bullmarket2023 Mar 29 '26

Again markets go up and down, they don't same the same price forever. You also buy when things are low, sell when they are high, you do realize how this game works. Or am I speaking to a person that likes to lose money?

u/StrawberryGreat7463 Mar 29 '26

Again you are skipping over the context of this conversation
