Investors are stunned after the stock market closed its worst quarter in 3 years

 

Tired of winning yet?

[Jingthing]

Well, I'm not stunned.

I saw this coming.

Trump inherited the best economy in the advanced nation world and is intentionally ruining it. 

That was so obvious.

The enemy within -- the flippin' white house.

His low information cult thought they were voting for lower prices.

Tariffs and trade wars are never going to be a recipe for a bull market.

 

Then there's inflation. Standard response by central banks is to lift interest rates. Share markets hate that.

Sorry Charley.

The low information "lower my egg prices" voters did NOT vote for massive tax increases, crashing markets, weakened dollar, allying with Russia and North Korea, attacking western allies, high risk of ruinous STAGFLATION, and years or decades of PAIN.

Perhaps the bigliest BAIT AND SWITCH in history.

Where are the crashing markets?

Investors don't like uncertainty and thats what they are certainly getting so far.

Unless we head into stagflation. Then they're "damned if you do, damned if you don't."

Trump when asked clearly doesn't even know what stagflation is or that his insane policies are creating high risk for that. What do people expect from a "stable genius" who couldn't even make a profit from casinos?!?

Susan, be a dear and ease up on the emojis, will you. At this point it's just lame, and you come across as a cackling hysterical woman locked up in a cellar somewhere.

500%+ increase since gfc low. The market has been grossly inflated by excess spending. Still 12% overvalued imo.

[PomPolo]

As much as I have talked bad about Trump I am starting to love him, by ruining his own economy he is increasing the Baht vs Pound Sterling exchange rate daily, go trump!!!!

Laughing at your own jokes is poor form. Since 1-Nov the Russell 2000 is down 11%, since 25-Nov the Russell is down 20%. You must have the chart upside down or looking at it thro MAGA colored glasses.

[Harrisfan]

Above 37,000 the Dow Jones is overvalued. I welcome a fall.

He couldn't even make a profit from a casino even after stiffing dozens (hundreds?) of small contractors!

Those tariffs will be temporary I bet and stocks don't go up forever without pause.

Oh, it will go down but I bet by this time next year it will be at all time highs.

Lots of things in the pipeline like taxcuts, deregulation,  interest rate cuts, and several other items that will stimulate growth.  Add, most importantly the mid-terms next year. 

Everything will be fine just relax.

The Dow is less reliable as a broad market indicator than the S&P 500, Nasdaq, or Russell 2000 because of its price-weighted methodology and limited scope (only 30 stocks). In your example, the Dow being flat while the Russell 2000 is down 20% since November 2024 shows that the Dow misses significant movements in smaller companies, which are more sensitive to economic shifts.

For a more comprehensive view of market conditions, the S&P 500 (broad large-cap exposure) (down over 10% since November) and Russell 2000 (small-cap health) (down over 20%) are often better indicators.

40% of Russell companies lose money. They will always go down in a bear market the most. Since the GFC low only been 1 major sell off which was covid.

 

Only an idiot would think the bull runs can continue non stop with 120% debt.

F the stock market. Gold is up >15 % since jan20.

 

[jas007]

Hopefully, we're in store for another V-shaped recovery in the markets, especially in the tech sector. There's a lot of money that has to be invested somewhere, and the Fed isn't about to raise interest rates to entice investors into the bond market.  Think stagflation.  The Fed will choose lower rates, for sure. Look for gold, silver, and commodities to do OK with the inflation we'll be seeing, and look for tech stocks to bounce back.  Their correction is almost over, if not over already.  The AI revolution is just getting started. 

 

Just my opinion, but why not?  What's the alternative?  Cash under the mattress?

It's good to have some gold, but you probably shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.  Lots of stocks will be doing very well, I think, from this point.

Yes gold and zilver miners, Uranium and copper too.

Trouble with stocks is : you can't hold them in your hands.

Just some numbers at your bank or brokerage firm.
