Treasury bonds, baby!!!

I went 100% treasuries when I was preparing for retirement in 2023 on my TSP account. I didn’t want to take gambles on the stock market at that point and with Numbnutz Krasnov driving the market into the shitter, I’m comfortable with my decision.

shut down the Stock Exchange when it drops FIVE PERCENT in a day?

The farmers are just beginning to get royally freaked out........Major FAFO............none of them wondering deep down why they voted for Trump and all the other RepubliCON Politicians that promoted Trump and enabled him to carry out this Tragedy......

The RepubliCONS in the House and Senate, as well as the USSC members are so ignorant, they don't realize there is no need for a Legislative Branch or Judicial Branch in a tyranny, and they ALL will be kicked to the curb shortly, like everyone else in Trump world, his ENTIRE life............All of them should have noticed that his voters have all been thrown under the bus already....they have fulfilled their usefulness this one last time for electing Trump again.......They are no longer needed by the Republican Party......and just starting to figure it out.............All Rural Red Trumphumping Farmers are totally freaking out today..........and they should be.........

Farmers are not a significant voting bloc and are no more or less likely to vote Republican than any other group of business owners. I every farmers started voting Democratic it wouldn't change the results of elections, even in rural districts. Here, in a very conservative farming area there are about 300 growers - farm owners - and 40-45% of them vote Democratic. Yet Trump got over 10,000 votes here.

It is the eaters that will suffer when farms are hurt and Trump will bail out the big farm owners, especially the large grain operations, the cattle ranchers, and the meat packing industry.

Trump and the Republicans are expert at invoking rugged individualist imagery, Hollywood stereotypes that resonate with people - cowboys, ranchers, farmers, miners, lumberjacks; Reagan on horseback, Bush with his fake ranch, Trump with his he-man collectibles. But we shouldn't buy into that propaganda and think that those represent significant voting blocs. They represent Walter Mitty fantasy voting blocs.

Trump makes people think they are somehow associated with heroic stereotypes when they go with him. It is all a bunch of nonsense.

What a clown creep. Eff her AND her Wonder bread bags.

I made $200,000 in the market during Biden's last yr. *poof*

Little Marco fuck-face tells me I'm supposed to be happy. This is for the good of the country. I flation is now good. Recession is now good.

I got on a fb page of a friend with 350 friends, several whom I know to be wingnuts and with TSPs. I said that those who'd voted for Trump had created this debacle. Now FIX IT!

Nobody responded.

REALLY ??? Such boorish words

I'm on an extended vacation from fascism. But thanks for the update.

Slightly less today than the SP500.

Enjoy your weekend Slobby

December 2024.

They have to be feeling the heat from back home.

No need for them to complain.

If a pissed-off constituent can't get a call through, they will become more pissed-off. No matter how red the district, pissed-off constituents are dangerous. If nothing else, a primary opponent is possible.

That's the whole plan. Rocking the markets benefits the wealthy who have cash on hand. Screws ordinary people who live paycheck to paycheck.

Fuck every idiot MAGA that voted for Trump because they were too stupid to listen to the rest of us.

This is the time to short the living fuck out of the market.

We really don't understand the lack of proverbial pitchforks.

It would be useless to apply pressure to my GOP legislators. They are so far up the Trump backside, they see with orange eyeballs. And the thought of a democrat being elected around here is about as likely as the manufacturing on Heard Island to kick into high gear. But surely some swingier districts must be feeling the heat.

and come after them in the halls of congress with pitch forks, then they will realize....

The short squeeze is going to be epic.

This is not good!

Level 1 (7% decline): Halts trading for 15 minutes.
Level 2 (13% decline): Halts trading for 15 minutes.
Level 3 (20% decline): Halts trading for the remainder of the trading day.

During the Covid pandemic.

"Worst day for our economy since COVID. Just a little reminder ... This time, HE's the disease."

Make it stop.

Trump insiders are trading based on his idiotic policies. Somebody is getting wealthy from this while everyone else loses.

Wonder why they were knee-capped?

I doubt you and me we included in HIS "we".

The change in investment strategy is obvious. I still lost 3% of my retirement funding overnight. Single digit loss may not seem like much to some folks, but in one day? Yes. This is a bloodbath.

I have been desperately trying to get my house market ready to sell so I can flee Florida. I think I've lost the window and there is no way I am going to be able to relocate to Virginia before everything crashes. Call me Chicken Little, but I don't see a good end in sight here. No reason to believe the administrations mismanagement (stupidity and cruelty) is going to abate any time soon.

and falling

-2092.32

I have to still hope for the best on selling. Don’t have an option right now.
Good luck to you!

of the orange a$$hole. Largest two day wipeout in history, says MarketWatch

https://www.marketwatch.com/

He'll conquer Canada, Greenland, Panama, Haiti, Venezuela, and Hollywood
and then sell them to his pal Putin for $1 trillion each

In 4 or 5 months... Smart... And Fox will pat him on the back.

I expect it just to get worse today. Trump has undermined confidence and sown doubt. No reason to think we are approaching the bottom of this crash. Monday morning will tell the tale.

into stocks yesterday, buying the dip.
Again, MarketWatch headline.

"Are We Great Yet"

I knew this Trumpcession was coming.

Sure, we are better off than folks holding Nvidia and Apple. But nobody is escaping untouched from the building shitstorm.

So is gold, because it is easily convertible.

The market always sells off Friday afternoon so bleeding won't stop.

You know that isn't what this is.

Welcome to DU.

Now I understand what Trump is liberating; our wallets.

That's after yesterday's drop of 4.84%. So about a 10% drop in the span of 2 days.

Trump is the biggest traitor in American history. He is bought, paid for and solely owned by Putin. Only way to explain all the stuff he's doing. He's destroying us from within.

I've been watching this last hour. I've lost--in two days-- the equivalent of what I receive in net Social Security benefits for a year. Two days.

I though S&P was going to really test 5000 before the close.

They are almost 80.

I don't even want to know what is happening to my pension investments.

The Stable Genius did file for bankruptcy 6 times.

Point drop was -322.44 which is the 2nd largest single day point drop ever. Biggest drop was -324.89 on 3-16-20. Yesterday's drop is now the third biggest single day drop.

S&P 500 is down 14.0% since the beginning of 2025
S&P 500 is down 15.6% since Trump's inauguration.
S&P 500 is down 17.4% since its peak in mid February
S&P 500 is down 10.5% in just the past 2 days
