    I love how the cultists are saying this is Biden's economy.

    Congrats Rick, had no idea that you were that wealthy, since those people with incomes on the 7 figure level are the only ones getting any tax cuts. Well done, sir.

    Docspor a liberal? A moderator edited my comment. I said in a very shortened way that Rick hasn’t paid attention to anything that Bill has said in years.

    Its called shorting virtually everything in the market and the circus clown drives the market down...if we only had a hedge fund trader making policy for our country he would get rich...oh wait.

    Honestly I thought there was good chance, my “broker” called me yesterday and said the market was over sold and what did I want to buy.
    Told him no way Trump is gonna drop a sledgehammer later. I’ll just wait.
    Been sitting on 40% cash since late January.
    Nibbled late today on NVIDIA and a few pharma companies(they have been trashed due to the RFK fear).

    Waiting for more blood.

    Trouble with shorting if you’re wrong it’s unlimited losses.
    There already was one bounce this year.

    ...looks like the dewormer has kicked in in the basement of Hillary's pizza parlor without a basement.

    Since this is so easy and we knew this would happen, I’m curious if anyone here actually did that?

    I did & I "never" trade. I triple shorted the s&p (SPXU) Wed about 30 min til close. Made a bundle; still have a chunk. But, I strongly disagree that we knew this would happen. We did not. It was a pure gamble. There are no sure things & if there were they'd be priced in. I got lucky.
