There is no point speculating what will go up and what will go down in the short term. In the end, everything just goes up if you zoom out. We live in an endless bubble economy, where even the smallest stock market retracement means quantitative easing and more money printing from the FED. Just buy whatever you like and don't even care about the price. Fundamentals are non existent in 2025.

There was some old experienced investor saying that market will crash after the tarrifs announcement, but rebound after a few days. However, a big recession will come in a couple of months. The first part he predicted 100% correct. Let's see what will happen in a couple of months. But, summer months are usually weaker for the stock market in general.

Breaking: Warren Buffett just got totally disgusted by the stock market and left Berkshire Hathaway

I am sure a lot of people here suffer from this "illness". If I do any kind of work or project, I spend hours and hours on some tiny little detail that should only take a couple of minutes at max. Sometimes, I get so obsessed that I screw everything up and need to start all over again. How do you deal with it? From my experience, the best solution to this problem is to tell myself to finish it later and I usually forget about it and leave it as is, which means "not perfect".

The last "micro-crash" just convinced me it's not a good idea to try and time the market in today's economy. This is not 20th century anymore, when stocks were priced accordingly to their real world performance. This is a meme stock economy where stocks go up no matter what. Just buy a little bit of everything (stocks, gold, crypto) and forget it. Everything will go up eventually.

We can only imagine what percentage of those earnings are kids stealing money from their parents to buy Robux.

Yes, Trump and Musk are like a parody version of the nazi Germany.

I don't know. He even tweeted to his followers before he officially announced the pause on the tariffs. Seems like some kind of a plan to me. He wants to be popular among his circles, which means he's not completely mad. This to me is a proof he is still relatively predictable and these tariffs are nothing but a theatre.

I have said it before and I will say it again: Trump has always been obsessed with the stock market going up. He has been trying to force the FED lower the rates since his first term, so the stock market could go up. Now, he has seen the stock market went down too much to fast, so he backed off and turned 180 degrees. All his actions are to make the stock market go up as much as possible at the end of his second term, so he will look "good" and his cronies will make a lot of money. Now you can decide if you want to be part of it, or stay away from the devil.

Trump just rug pulled the stock market. It was all planned after all. Stocks are up 15-20% today. I bet his cronies made billions.

Kingdom Come Deliverance II I don't really play games anymore, but this one goes beyond the gaming industry IMO. What are your favorite games of 2024-25?

Young people used to invest in themselves and start businesses. Nowadays, they just gamble on crypto and meme stocks thinking they will become rich without lifting a finger. A recipe for disaster.

Managed to grab some BRK.B at the bottom. It has ranged between $460 and $505 today, which is absolutely crazy for such a stable stock. I am not sure if it has ever happened before.

Fair enough, I still don't understand how you can say that Bitcoin is inflated at 80k when the last top was around 65k four years ago. It's a dying asset and the last big bull run was before the Trump's inauguration. Everything positive has already been priced into Bitcoin. The FED will never allow it to be used as a reserve currency or similar.

A lot of people here are trading, not investing. Even Leo tries to trade Bitcoin and gold. Trading: Buying and selling mostly based on charts and current events. Doing frequent research and timing the market. Investing: Buying and selling mostly based on long-term fundamentals. Doing one big research and staying invested for a lifetime. Neither of these are bad, they are just different types of approach.

It's not that easy. Recoveries don't happen overnight. You will need to wait months for buying signals.

Or, this might be the last chance to get out before it crashes even more. You might as well just flip a coin right now. Personally, I am just waiting until BRK.B crashes a little more and buy that one. It is a cash cow. I am not touching anything else right now.

The ideal scenario would be no tarrifs/taxes between countries and no income tax for the poor. Only mega rich should pay high income tax. Even Warren Buffet and Bill Gates admitted the US tax system is corrupt, and the rich should have higher income tax.

Even Putin said he liked Biden more as a president because he was predictable.

Imagine if Europe removed the current tariffs. 0% tariffs between US and EU. That's what I would call a happy ending.

Rolls Royce is the shit. https://www.fool.co.uk/2025/04/01/forecast-in-12-months-the-rolls-royce-share-price-could-be/

Yeah, Elon will announce something new, the stock will shoot up to 500, then it will fall back to 200 after a Tweet or something, then it will go up again, and so on. What's the purpose of holding such stock?

Let's face the truth. Tesla is no Apple and the hype is now mostly gone. It was too fragile.

For comparison, BYD, the biggest Tesla competitor, has already stolen Tesla's marketshare outside the US, yet it's still only about 20% of Tesla's marketcap. Tesla PE: 130 BYD PE: 26

TSLA stock can be worth either $400, or $100 next month and nobody can predict the price. There are zero fundamentals in the current pricing. It acts just like a meme stock and that's the main reason why you shouldn't invest in it. You should buy stable companies with realistic PE ratios that you don't have to watch for the next 10-20 years.
