lol, most of you weree jumping over each other to unload at the bottom predicting great depression.
No actually we unloaded near the top and bought towards the bottom, you were just to angry and hateful to understand or watch what was happening. That is what happens when you close your mind.

Most of were posting that US was headed for “1930 style depression”, “permenant damage”, “imminent skyhigh inflation due to tariffs”.
Read your own posts. You are all being dishonest with yourselves.
You seem to group everyone into the same kettle. Show me where I said we were heading into a depression or permanent damage. I do not think you guys are smart enough to cause permanent damage.
There you go projecting again.

First of all, I don’t think it is possible to successfully time the market on every move. But, you can follow the market and change. You may miss the top and bottom but still get your direction correct.
In this post, while I was still skeptical that trade deal will be done but changed my market outlook. Sure, I missed the absolute bottom, but I have participated in the upside move.
Everyone has their style, time horizon, capital and skill set. You play to the best of the hand you got. Arguing only my style is best and others are wrong is waste of time. If you think something is not for you… then you do what works for you.

You guys are dishonest with yourselves and with each other. Remember $ was going to tank ? 1930s style depression ? Mungofitch selling everything to investing in EU ?
Tomorrow if the market tanks again, you will all be telling and upvoting each other "I told you so" how this country is in downward spiral and how Europe is the place to be.
You are being dishonest. Mungofitch is only one person. Anyone could say you were the one who believed in what Mungofitch did. But even then, you don’t understand what he did and he could have done very well depending on what he invested in.
This was supposed to be about timing the market and you have taken it all over the place.
I don’t think you understand what is going on. We are above the 21ema and nobody is going to say that. Nobody says the country is spiraling downward unless it actually is. Taco man decided to change his mind so everyone had to also. If he had stayed with his tariffs and deportation strategy then nobody would have pivoted.

Are you sure you are not confused??? Everyone, and their father and mother, grandparents, even their hair dressers know I hardly agreed on anything with that dude. And he ran away from this platform. Why are you bringing him here and confusing his views with us???
Yes, I expect USD will decline, in fact I posted some possible trades on that, but nowhere I talked about 1930 style depression. Are you sure you are reading what we are posting?? Looks like you have reading comprehension problem.
Not tomorrow, but 10 days ago, I posted I am closing some of my position and preparing for any mini pullback. BTW, everytime someone gives me upvote, my bank account it credited with a $, so I will greatly appreciate your up votes.

eur has appreciated about 11.5% vs usd this year, so that has happened
that has been a pretty large move
usd appreciated a lot versus eur when US raised rates to counter inflation, which was also a pretty large move (and the rate hikes were large relative to what US has seen in a long time for rates)
a good chunk of that usd appreciation has been reversed this year in response to “policy”

For whatever reason I am not big on Eurozone. I prefer gold, silver, Bitcoin, China and India. Since I own significant Gold, and have my bitcoin allocations in place, I bought $SLV, and added to $FXI, $BABA, both are not working that well for now.
Irrespective of USD, I think India has a 10 year secular trend and Gold is back as central bank reserve currency.

Same. I’m still extremely US-centric, but I did and continue some options-focused trades with Japan and Brazil etfs.
Both currencies are up about 10%ish vs usd in 2025.
I think a market bottom is like Beetlejuice. We won’t have a market bottom until Joe Kernan says “dead cat bounce” three times.

That has been modified to a 1890s depression.
The market probably will top out soon. Only to fade away.
YTD that would have been a good call, since early November an even better one.

What happened to “Tariffs will cause rampant inflation and empty stores” ?
You guys are a dishonest bunch upvoting each other.

I think divi not only thinks the 2020 election was stolen, that Mexico will pay for the wall, but also that China pays the tariffs.

Or maybe this place is simply joining Builder’s Square, Handy Andy, and HQ? But, as usual, management says they are the victim of external factors, rather than simply not as good at running their business as Lowe’s.

What happened to 145% Tarriffs on China and the 50% tariffs on Europe? If Taco Man can change his mind then everyone else has to change theirs. That is how the world works.

I expect something between a 1890s and 1930s great depression.
It has only been since the end of January that things have been getting shaky.
“What happened to 145% Tarriffs on China and the 50% tariffs on Europe? If Taco Man can change his mind then everyone else has to change theirs. That is how the world works.”
That is so fundamentally obvious. The commenter you replied to is consistent in his inconsistent interpretation of everything going on in the Country. But he ignores all of that. Remember when he was on here lauding Trump as the guy who will end all wars. Now he’s lauding Trump for the US aiding Israel against Iran. There are many other examples.
No sense even interacting with him, for me anyways.
