For two years, US stocks went virtually straight up. In a matter of weeks, that’s been turned upside down, and as the equities selloff intensifies Wall Street is wondering where it stops

Who starts unneeded trade wars and slaps random tariffs on allies for no reason, then openly says they don’t care if the economy goes into recession, and still gets support. You were so scared of minorities and women and foreigners that you elected a soulless monster. There will be hell to pay.
For the entire summer Trump claimed the markets were up because he was going to "win". The minute he took office everything falls apart and he and the GOP Congress try to gaslight everyone.
For that 1/3 of Americans, this is the only way to learn. It won't happen if the blue states keep bailing the red states out, just force them to walk through the bankruptcy. The economy only works with sharing and cooperation, something genetically never fits in bigotry and nationalism.
When Trump was last in power, unemployment went up, poverty went up, inflation went up, everything went up except stock markets and employment.
Now Trump is back in power, everything is returning to normal Trump power. Everything is dropping except prices.
Worth pointing out that they were going "straight up" despite dropping inventory turnover, switches to cheap alternatives, mature companies and corporations applying for bankruptcy protection or just GOING bankrupt all of a sudden and massive cost of living increases.
That happened in the early 90s when the Soviet Union collapsed. The wealthy grabbed all the distressed government industries and that created an oligarchy that answers only to the dictator.
Trump has a history of bankruptcies, now he takes charge of burning the country. How will Trump USA look like in a few months : an impoverished third world country, no government, no supporters, no friends and no business partners. His oligarch steal taxpayer money, just like in Russia.
Did anything specific happen right around the time this slide began? Maybe that information is more pertinent to the headline than the fact that “Wall Street is wondering where it stops.”
The American decided to exchange the economy growing with Biden for an adventure of a crazy extremist. Now they are discovering that the economy is not something to be trifled with.
The wealthy doesn't care they are the only ones who increase wealth during a recession or depression. This is why they jumped on the trump train because they knew it would go off the economic cliff. The only way to stop this is to stop buying their products and services. No non essential purchases
Do you think they don’t know what they are doing in manipulating the markets? This is a classic play. They are making a fortune on the sell side. And if they take a loss it’s a huge write off on billionaires taxes. The $ won goes offshore to tax havens in the BVI and the losses stay onshore in USA!
I’ve been saying for weeks to short Tesla. And when the Atlanta fed revised the #s for GDP. I said inflation and recession. 2026 is when “they” will call it a recession. You must understand that “talk” isn’t cheap. Just talk can send the world economy in a spiral. Look at what conspiracy did2us
So, Trump is willing to lie about literally anything, but he refuses to deny the possibility of a recession to ease the markets. One would almost think he stands to gain from a market downturn.
CNN Business, CNBC, Fox Business & Bloomberg are praising The Liar Racist Fascist Felon Criminal Dictator Trump BS Tariff to Canada & lying to USA that is OK, it is more Taxes & Higher Prices on everything stop spreading Trump lies to make him Happy & not Cancel & Ban them, because it Hurt all USA!
Another good day for democracy as the fantasy valuation of Tesla shares as pumped up by Fuhrer-unelect Musk continues it descent (to the avg 20 PE ratio of car companies? or about $35?).
Let's be clear, for two years, 7 stocks came to represent 50% of the NASDAQ Composite and sat in sectors representing over 50% of the S&P 500 index. Their valuations are finally coming back to earth.
When Joe Biden was in power, the stock markets went virtually straight up. Now dictator Trump is in power, the stock markets in just two months have gone straight down! This is what happens when dictators take charge.
There hasn't been a republican potus for 50 years that was good for the economy,they've all brought recession.
A widely accepted myth that should die with Citizens United and Reaganomics.
Don't take my word for it,take Reagans OMB directors word.
🤣😂🤣 only THESE MORONS will try to “control” it by slowing losses to right before stopgap engages; thereby assuring a fuller, longer fall!! 🤣😂🤣
Black Thursday, Friday, Tuesday?!? Gonna be BLACK MONTH up in here for Hoover 2.0 🥰🥰🥰
Economists warned about Trump’s Project 2025 in detail with numbers and figures, pointing out that this would happen. US electorate: “oh fuck it, what do they know? A woman of color as president? Let’s just set the house on fire and see what happens”
When will someone ask the big question: Why? Over 77million Americans did NOT vote for this. They voted for a charlatan who promised to fix things but had no intention of doing so. Maybe instead of cursing them, ask what they voted to get fixed? What was so bad that blinded them to his deceit?
What deceit? This was the first president since the Great Depression to end his term with negative job gains and people started seeing that with rose-tinted glasses.
Thanks for making my point. Some 77 million people didn't see what you & many other Americans saw. I suggest to stop judging these people & try to understand/recognize their grievances & how Trump capitalized on them. And then address & fix them. Make it hard for Trump to lie & do more damage.
The American decided to exchange the economy growing with Biden for an adventure of a crazy extremist. Now they are discovering that the economy is not something to be trifled with.
it don't.
Wait'll the mass layoffs kick in.
Ukraine monies were what made full employment happen..it's was basically a Jobs program for American Arms manufacturers..now that that's over,..uhhh,..that's over.
Those super smart finance bros let their hearts get in the way of their brains when they decided to support republicans.
Who could have seen this turn of events?
Answer: Everyone but them.
Maybe they aren’t so smart after all.
Congressional Republicans act like they didn’t like Biden, but they KNOW their Wall Street portfolios were safer under his Administration than Trump’s whether they choose to admit it or not. Historians will look back and every Republican who didn’t stand up for their Constituents will look very BAD.
It's actually insane there are still Republicans. Lol. But I truly think it's rascism and wanting absolute control over women's bodies and rights. Or the insane thought that Trump is some kind of alpha male 😂😂
Something people don't think about when it comes to slowdowns is that they are nonlinear. People always think about these things linearly and get surprised.

You guys have to call them out like this.
Biden and Harris lifted the U.S. out of Trump’s 2020 recession and NOW Trump has reversed all progress and our 401Ks are dropping hard.
Save our economy and our democracy. Impeach and remove Trump.
Now Trump is back in power, everything is returning to normal Trump power. Everything is dropping except prices.
401krash
So yeah.

But they have no power
So everyone will watch and ache
While the US is destroyed?
In January I pulled a significant chunk of my investments out in cash. It was OBVIOUS what was going to happen.
This will continue until donald, the malignant head case, capitulates on his tariff wet-dreams...

Wall Street waking up yet?
Now is a great time to learn the difference.
As the massive Government layoffs and trade tariff damage spreads, our second quarter will also have a negative GDP.
All this carnage to fund a HUGE $4.6 trillion tax cut for the rich!
Wait'll the mass layoffs kick in.

Or is everyone currently employed at Bloomberg so young that this is their first market turn?
They always do.
But now it will be more fun with more bubbles - coins and AI.

Spoiler: Full Blown Recession and Downfall before December.
Tariffs - Higher Costs - No one can pay - No sales - Shut down
It’s basic economics.

Didn't you get the memo from 1929?
Everyone knows you cannot have years of a bull market with much lower earnings.
This is called a market correction that will recover quickly.
