A 10% drop for stocks is scary, but isn't that rare

Classic market overreaction. Corrections like this are a feature, not a bug - just a natural reset after two years of insane gains. Yeah, AI stocks got a little overheated, but anyone with half a brain knew a pullback was coming. The Magnificent Seven carried the whole market last year, so SOME profit-taking was inevitable.

And as for those them there tariffs? Pfft. Wall Street cares about earnings, not headlines. If companies keep making money, this dip is just another buying opportunity. Smart money is already loading up while retail panic-sells. Same story, different year!

Buying opportunity of a lifetime to purchase the shares of high quality American companies.

not the time to be chasing trends though.

Welcome to the "Trump Correction" that will soon be the "Trump Recession", which will lead to the "Trump Depression"...

Business genius?

The Moron bankrupted a foolproof CASINO...and his Truth Social stock?

"Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group fell 4.5% Thursday and are now trading just above $19. They’ve lost more than half their value since the inauguration and have plunged 75% from the high of nearly $80 that they hit shortly after the stock debuted to public trading in late March 2024."

Loser is as Loser does...

Who’s the better businessman - and President?

Biden oversaw the biggest stock market gains in history, 9 consecutive quarters of economic GDP growth, 12 straight quarters of inflation decline…and the Moron from Mar-A-Lago ruined it in only 45 days…

Oh so it’s Trump’s market already?

, 12 straight quarters of inflation decline…

ummm what?

For anyone panicking happening with what's happening with the stock market right now, I'll say this: imagine you walk into a store and see a really nice shirt, but it's a bit too expensive. You think, bloody hell, I wish this would go on sale. Well, guess what? That shirt just went on sale. And not just a little - like, a big sale.

Now, what do you do? You DON'T panic and say, "Oh no, the price dropped! That must mean the shirt is bad!" No, you take advantage of the deal and buy two or three, because you know it's still the same great shirt - just cheaper.

That's exactly what's happening with the stock market right now. The same strong companies that were more expensive a month ago are now selling at a discount.

DON'T be emotional, be SMART - and smart investors aren't scared - they're buying more while prices are low.

And this is the beginning with MAGA regime in power..

And this is the beginning with MAGA regime in power..

Ride it out, it will be ok.

Normal market response to major shift in economic policy, which is WHY DJT was elected. The transition to job and wealth creation has begun!

American working, union members and middle-class want their jobs protected not shipped overseas, why they voted for DJT to fight for their economic future, by building in US.

DJT = long overdue revitalization of US industrial base!

Market corrections are normal and healthy, and DJT is not focused on short term markets and Wall Street but rather MAINSTREET, creating jobs and investing in America will drive future economic growth, rising worker wages, and corporate profits.

Markets trying to better gauge impact of DJT Admin's DOGE Govt. downsizing agenda, both Govt. headcount and Agency budgets.

Much of Agency spending according to Elon Musk is 'fraud' stemming from entitlement programs like Social Security and NGO's being funded illegally buy Federal Agencies, along with Poor Controls at Treasury.

Above DOGE efforts, big reason why interest rates and inflation are falling since Jan 20th = Markets LOVE It, why Bond Markets rallying!

Unlike Japan, Bond market capitalization in US is historically larger than Equity markets, if you include all classes of bonds. So overall US financial markets are not doing badly, just a recent divergence between bond and equity markets that had been more correlated recently.

As US rates fall, equities tend to rally, so long as the economic fundamentals are solid - which they are.

Welcome to the "Trump Correction" that will soon be the "Trump Recession", which will lead to the "Trump Depression"...

Good advice to follow if you want to be financially unsuccessful.

Correction territory? I’m looking to move some more funds into investments. If we reach bear market territory then I will do so to an even greater extent.

The US is switching from a government spending led economy back to a private sector led economy.

I don’t like the tariff stuff, but to focus on that is to ignore all the other policy coming that is gong to be good.

Taxes aren’t going up.

Government spending restraint is coming.

less bad regulation.

investment incentives.

Buy more now, and buy even more later if some folks want to sell it to you cheap.

Jay above...interesting analogy...a metaphor even...shirts and stocks.

Now , I dont want to buy shirts, but have a superannuation investment maturing soon and I think a drop in stock value may cost me the shirts I planned to not buy anyway.

Older people may lose .

Younger souls can "ride it out "

I maybe dead when the market returns

It's almost as if electing a 78 year old malignant narcissist felon insurrectionist who's suffering from early stage dementia was a bad idea.

I bet it is the first one due directly to a president ignoring the advice of every sane economist.

The US is switching from a government spending led economy back to a private sector led economy.

Government spending is 1/4 of gdp and 3/4 of that is mandatory transfer payments and paying for Trump's tax cuts.

Ah yes, the stock market crashing is now officially a great thing! 5 trillion dollars of value lost in 3 weeks! Exactly what everyone wanted all along!

The Trump otakus obviously all got their marching orders and are parroting the talking points like the good little soldiers they are.

It’s all Biden’s fault

Government spending is 1/4 of gdp

Is the government spending why the US economy is the biggest in the world?

Obviously that’s a no.

and 3/4 of that is mandatory transfer payments

“mandatory” spending is a total nonsense to us non-Americans - politicians can change spending with a vote, and given what I read in the news it’s no doubt that there is a load of crap quality spending drag that can be cut in the US.

We know the same is true in Japan.

Low priority low quality spending can be cut, and that seems to be as true in the US as anywhere.

and paying for Trump's tax cuts.

Paying for a tax cut is also a nonsense.

A tax cut is not spending.

US tax revenues have gone way up since the TCJA - revenues up, not down. You don’t have to “pay for” something that didn’t cost anything.

Go back to pre Covid spending levels and you’ve got a balanced budget or better.

I remember that time Paul Krugman said that Trump’s election was gonna crash the economy… hahaha, good times

@fxgai

You really have no clue, do you.

Paying for a tax cut is also a nonsense.

A tax cut is not spending.

Even lunatic Doge types would accept that governments need to spend quite a lot of money to keep essential programs running. If less is coming in through taxes, it has to come from somewhere else.

I remember that time Paul Krugman said that Trump’s election was gonna crash the economy…

And he's being proven right.

The chimp fanboys at the top of the comments try to save face by saying that a correction is no big deal, but assume that this is the end of the story. You ain't seen nothing yet kids! Things are gonna get way worse, unless the years of subsisting on MacDonalds etc. mercifully bring about the removal of this insane individual from our mortal coil very soon.

"As Trump careers uncontrollably towards the 100-day mark, his approval ratings slide. He is already less popular than Joe Biden was at a similar stage. His honeymoon is history. Before November’s election, he claimed, falsely, that America was in an unprecedented mess. Such exaggeration is what Merton, who coined the phrase, called a “self-fulfilling prophecy”. Now, unintentionally, it’s coming true."
