Are you expecting markets to crash?

[lightbulb27]

Most people reading this have never seen a market crash, or didn't have money at risk. It looks probable you are going to see one soon. Will you be happy?

The Federal Reserve bank is pulling back the money, markets consistently fall when they do... and propped up stocks nosedive from their nosebleed valuations.

Our governments are perched for a war, whether it's a cover for something else like a market collapse or justification or more spending, who knows.

The market growth stocks have been manipulated to very high valuation levels. Tesla sells for 300 times its value... more than all other auto makers combined. Gutsy.
Random chart...

yea

no

what?

We already had a crash, and recovery, and we are already in another market correction at the moment. Perhaps the downward trend will continue for a bit, but it doesn't really matter, at least not to me. I'm HODL for the most part, and have liquidity sufficient to weather a few years of bear market if need be.

But it's likely any losses will be recovered and new gains made sooner than later. Even the "Great Depression" was fully recovered from by the late 50s, and this DJIA chart shows the long term market is always UP:

No one can predict the future accurately, so there's no point in worrying about it. If the market drops a bit, whatever. It will recover. I'm ready to see cryptocurrency surge.

"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst." Doesn't matter what I think.

For sure! Then when the prices plummet during a market correction (or when stocks hit their sell target and investors take profit) - buy!

[DarkWinterNights]

Absolutely. Might be this time, might be next time. But there is no stopping it. The red flags have been there since 2019, and actually if you look back for actually decades. 2008 we could have turned things around, but we didn’t actually fix anything.

[CreamySeed]

Hell yea! The FED raising the fed funds rate while and tapering their purchases of gov debt will increase interest rates. Increasing rates is supposed to slow down inflation but I will hurt the levered up economy that has utilized low rates particularly housing and equities (stocks). The Fed is walking a tightrope either deal with inflation or trash the economy...

Yeah, it'll be a glorious time as tangible assets will likely rise and I'll be trading them and skimming a profit or if they do fall then I'll be trading and stacking for the rise to profit

[oddwaffle]

We are down below the support line so it's starting to look like 2008 again. It's a matter of time before the folks still holding will break and run.

There will be a correction but not a crash. I expect it to drift lower over the next year.

[SaoirseS]

I agree. I’m young and in it for the long term.

[exitseven]

@SaoirseS I expected something like this sooner of later.

[EnglishEuropean]

Not at all. There will be volatility but you should buy the dip.

[OddBeMe]

depends on what's considered a crash. The Depression was "crash", 2007 was a "recession" apparently. So not sure.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. Markets crash and rise again. It's the nature of the business.

[Waldoe]

Biden has NO idea how the Markets work

[MrTaboo]

As long as biden is pushing inflation up, yes.

[ChiTown33]

I hope not.
