Consumer Sentiment crashes, highest inflation expectations in 30 years... stocks tumble

Donald John’s America, baby

 

Stocks dont look all that cheap right now, but feel free to leverage in if you think otherwise.

 

At close.

 

Using change in real gdp would probably be more useful

 

So Germany can save its economy by manufacturing munitions instead of cars ...

 

I wonder if the hangover of the Bidenomics inflation has anything to do with that?

 

Stocks tumble…..from an all time closing high just Wednesday. Man you can tell who isn’t an investor in this crowd. You folks convinced the market will crash or tumble due to this administration should go buy puts or outright short the indexes.

 

On the other hand if you're drinking the Kool aid and are convinced that today was just a blip on the way to record new highs you should take grandma's $$, your kids college find, etc and go all in. I'm sure they will thank you.

 

For 4 years

 

One more day like this and I will be forced to buy more stocks... Lol.

 

Why would consumer sentiment align to GDP when wages and prices sure don't? Prices are unreal for housing and food. Of course consumers are pessimistic.

 

I’m already invested in the market. It’s a fools game to go all in and all out of the market. No one can time it. If you miss just the best 5 days in a year your return will go to shit. If you can tell when those 5 days will occur I’ll start calling you Warren Buffet.

 

I think you bring up another good consideration but I would argue real wages (which is adjusted for inflation) would be the measure that would capture that. As you can see even with more buying power now vs pre-covid the consumer is still very pessimistic - much more than you would expect looking at graphs.

 

No one should be surprised. Trump-Vance-Musk literally are trying to break the system and have warned everyone (well, just the bottom 95%) to expect pain. FAFO! Who is John Galt?

 

Correct

 

Buffett has been hoarding cash for quite a while waiting for the Biden economy to crash.

Someone should tell him that he missed that boat but the Trump Titanic is sailing through icy waters the next 4 years.

 

Well, actually Warren has been unloading stocks and going to cash for awhile now. I guess maga folks are now picking up the slack. Just a guess of course.

 

I’m buying Stacy bars
