Is there literally ANYTHING that will make the market go down?

SOH is closed? Oil is down. Terrible jobs report? Market rips. Great jobs report? Market rips.

No matter how logical, well-written, and sourced your thesis is, the market will always go up and will fly in the face of any traditional logic or reason.

Even if you can predict the exact time and catalyst for when these tech companies MAYBE, just MAYBE correct down (20%) you could see this administration step in and throw money at them to beat Chyna or some other nonsense that Sam Altman et al. cry and piss and moan about to Trump.

I work in IB and everyday I read the tape or WSJ or CNBC or Zero Hedge or whatever I am ALWAYS baffled by how many clear, negative catalysts occur everyday for this country and then I check the market and the equities are ripping, treasury yields are flat or down, and life is just going on as if it's all peaches 'n cream.I'm seriously at a loss for words.
