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.
Don’t worry…it will happen under tRumP’s tutelage…99% confidentThey're clearly saving the problem for the Dems who will suck at selling reality so they'll sell hope and lies
It is kind of funny!

What did Obama put in your account?
The accounts were much smaller back then so never got these kind of gains. Don't let that hurt your head, mathy stuff you know. It was 2014 before we started maxing out 401k's and grew much quicker from there.Blackvegetable » 08 Aug 2026, 11:39 am » wrote: ↑ What's really funny are your ever shifting metrics...

There's reason why returns are measured as a percentage of capital invested...

An expert like yourself should be able to figure a range of capital invested.
look at this HOMO talking about hands.

Driven by a recovery from the 2008 financial crisis, low interest rates, and quantitative easing, the S&P 500 rose roughly 166% total, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average more than doubled from its 2009 trough.

Elevator down...
I thought my post was pretty straightforward, our retirement accounts were up $22k last week. While the OP waits for a crash, some of us are making money now.

I have no idea what kind of derangement brought up Obama. It appears these people pay their bills with percentages, we pay in cash.
