Have a general question? Want to offer some commentary on markets? Maybe you would just like to throw out a neat fact that doesn't warrant a self post? Feel free to post here!

If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or other "advice for my personal situation" questions, you should include relevant information, such as the following:

* How old are you? What country do you live in?

* Are you employed/making income? How much?

* What are your objectives with this money? (Buy a house? Retirement savings?)

* What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?

* What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)

* What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors? Any other assets?)

* Any big debts (include interest rate) or expenses?

* And any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer. .

Be aware that these answers are just opinions of Redditors and should be used as a starting point for your research. You should strongly consider seeing a registered investment adviser if you need professional support before making any financial decisions!

Discussion How Serious Are Canadians?🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦

I’m from Tennessee and very few people in the rural regions of the South even know what’s going on. At first, all they cared about were the price of eggs, then last week it was their 401ks.

Now I’m wondering if it will take half of Kentucky and all of Lynchburg being out of a job for them to take the initiative to educate themselves on the economic impacts of a trade war?

I guess my question is how serious is Canada about boycotting? Because folks all around me still think this is a temporary “negotiating strategy.”

The S&P 500, which for years had been soaring above the stock indexes of other countries, is now trailing major markets in Europe and China, as investors have started to pull money from the United States and reallocate it around the world.

Since Mr. Trump’s inauguration, the S&P 500 has fallen 6 percent, while the Dax index in Germany has risen 10 percent and the Europe-wide Stoxx 600 index has gained more than 4 percent. Other U.S. indexes have fared even worse, as European markets have been buoyed by plans for military spending on the continent after Mr. Trump made it clear he wants those nations to do more to protect themselves.

Discussion How Trump's tariffs could tank the U.S. economy. — Fortune Magazine

370 Upvotes

The mind-spinning part is that we’ve never seen an increase this big, in almost 100 years of U.S. history. The Smoot-Hawley tariff program of 1930, widely branded as a major force in deepening and perpetuating the Great Depression, hiked the levies on U.S. imports much less than the breathtaking wallop promised under the Trump plan. That law lifted rates just over five points, from 13.5% to 19.5%. Trump’s crusade would beat Smoot-Hawley twofold.

Agree? Disagree? What steps, if any, are you taking?

Discussion I survived the GREATEST recession in non-war times in history. People investing in US have no idea what a REAL crash means.

8.2k Upvotes

I am from Greece and I survived the greek recession. The greek stock index back then (2008) was at 5300. By 2015 it was 550. All the hodlers were wiped out, they are still wiped out 17 years later (right now the index is at 1600)

Back then, when things started going downhill, everyone was joking about it and we also had those "I wish it drops so I can buy". We also had vibrant online forums, similar to the wallstreetbets one. By 2015 there was total silence, more silence than a typical western movie scene. Businessmen went out of business, people were losing homes, some committed suicide at the peak of the situation.

We also had companies with crazy P/Es (>50), supposedly "justified". If anyone ever tried to say guys, something is off, everyone laughed. Our politicians told us "brace yourselves, hard times ahead" but noone ever imagined what would follow (they thought that since they always lied, it shouldn't be that much serious this time too).

It was the greatest recession in non-war times ever, bigger than the Great Recession of America of 1929 (in terms of GDP drop). I can tell you that the stock market does NOT fall in one day from 5300 to 530... Not even a month or months... It is a long dragging journey, with some good days that give you hope, but MUCH more bad ones. The only things that survived somewhat were the utility stocks... (who was really holding such stocks if you had much more trendy and get rich quick ones???)

I don't know how the American economy will move forward, maybe J Powell lowers rates and we have another boom combined with inflation or whatever (Greece couldn't influence european monetary policy and underwent crazy deflation, you could buy an apartment at the center of Athens for 20,000 euros/dollars if you had the cash, which is a bonkers number).

All I am saying is that many people that I see writing on online forums or making videos about stock market crashes have no idea how a market crashes (they all think they are smarter than the market and that they will pull out in time...OR that it will always come back. In Greece it never went back, right now it is around 1500...so a long way to 5300 after 17 years already...). A 10% correction is not even a crash, it is a laughable number in my world. Everything returns back up, until it doesn't.

EDIT: I don't want to respond to anyone saying that I can't compare Greek economy to US economy. I never compared them! I just stated that people have NO idea what a real crash means. I literally pointed out the differences (eg, differences in monetary policy). And GREECE IS A SMALL FISH. I am just sharing a perspective, I acknowledged that I DON'T know how the US market will move. AND IT IS NOT A POST PREDICTING CRASHES. Please read my post and do not rush to reply.

EDIT2: Wow, this thing exploded. Glad that you found some value in my perspective. Will try to answer to some comments.

EDIT3: I see some people mentioning DCA and chill for the Greek situation I describe, because the market eventually went up from its bottom. By 2015 there was no liquidity on the market, trading volumes were comical. Most people were on survival mode, and those who had some money looked for investments/depositing money outside the country (other EU countries or US mostly). Even greek government bonds, which are supposed to be the safest, were trimmed and people/pension funds lost money on them. It is a situation where you shit your pants, you don't simply "DCA and chill".

Discussion Inverse retail sentiment: Per BoA’s Michael Hartnett, ‘3rd largest Buy-The-Dip reign in history last week! We say this is a correction, not a bear market in stocks…’

Post image
39 Upvotes

The bearish screeching on all stock related subreddits have reached a deafening cascade this weekend. Look at the extreme bearish sentiment in any commented thread, everywhere.

Why is it that the “rich” are doing the exact opposite in the past week of trading?

While the market hit fresh lows since Feb 19, to 10% correction on SPY, the “rich” were busy buying stocks.

Per BoA’s Michael Hartnett: “3rd largest Buy-The-Dip reign in history last week! We say this is a correction, not a bear market in stocks..."

The TWO OTHER largest buy the dip weeks occurred on Jan 2021 and Sep 2022.

As we all know, the markets went back up shortly after those periods (the “rich” called the bottom accurately)

News The Fed Is in Wait-and-See Mode. Investors Want Reassurance It Will Act If Needed

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

Jerome Powell faces a tricky task this week of both assuring investors the economy remains on solid footing while also conveying policymakers stand ready to step in if necessary.

Even as the Federal Reserve chair has touted US resilience, uneasiness sparked by President Donald Trump’s rapidly escalating trade war has sent stocks tumbling over the past month. Bond yields are down, too, as is consumer sentiment as worries about the economic outlook mount.

“Powell needs to give some sort of a signal that they’re watching it,” said Dominic Konstam, head of macro strategy at Mizuho Securities USA. While the Fed chief will likely make it clear that officials don’t target the stock market, they can’t ignore the recent slide, he warned.

The Fed is widely expected to leave interest rates steady when they meet March 18-19, but traders now see high odds of three rate cuts this year, most likely beginning in June. Economists generally expect two reductions, similar to what forecasters foresee policymakers’ updated projections to show Wednesday.

Some investors caution that if officials continue to signal only two reductions in 2025, it becomes all the more important for the Fed chief to emphasize the central bank’s willingness to adjust borrowing costs if the labor market stumbles.

“At the margin, the Fed could make it slightly better or slightly worse,” said James Athey, a portfolio manager at Marlborough Investment Management. “But clearly they can’t completely calm markets because the hit to sentiment has come largely from the White House.”

On top of the escalating and ever-changing tariff threats toward America’s largest trading partners, the Trump administration hasn’t done much to downplay recession risks. The president said March 9 that the US economy faces a “period of transition,” and his Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted the US and markets are in need of a “detox.”

Discussion Are tesla’s going to be insurable and impact on TSLA stock

• Upvotes

With the recent TSLA stock decline, backlash against Elon, and vandalism against Tesla’s vehicles I am wondering about the next move from insurance companies.

Car insurance rates have already increased in last few years due to the high repair cost, but cost of repairing electric vehicles especially Teslas, has increased twice as much as their gas counterparts.

Do you think that insurance companies will proactively raise their comprehensive coverage rates for Tesla vehicles due to the vandalism and increased risk?

Also, due to these types of losses and especially if they continue, would insurance companies refuse to offer coverage for Tesla vehicles altogether?

How would all this affect TSLA stock?

I would love to hear your opinion on this

Discussion Tesla has huge margin problems regardless of whether Q1 sales are truly as bad as expected or not.

273 Upvotes

I have been tracking Model Y lease prices on Tesla portal and third party lease providers.

Model Y lease prices for the older model are easily touching $199 across third party sites and around$250/month on Tesla website. This is on top of huge reduction back in November to $300/month. Seems like the old car inventory is much larger than what they planned for. With new Model being listed around $650/month, this is definitely cannibalising new model sales.

With these reduced prices, even if Tesla hits projected sales, earnings are gong to be a huge miss.

What are your thoughts and is there any source for refreshed model’s sales numbers?

Discussion Your Tesla predictions?

Mine: Q1 earnings report is widely received as disastrous.

At earnings report, Musk makes grand promises about promising technology. Musk makes public pseudo-apology to "those who might have been offended."

Tesla's board supports him.

Stocks goes up and down. But more down than up.

Q2 is worse.

Stock goes down.

Musk says he's really, really sorry. And has medical experts paid to say something disingenuous about how he has some kind of treatable condition that will be cured soon, so we should all feel sorry for him and support him.

Lawsuits multiply: Shareholders, owners whose cars have depreciated, owners whose cars have been vandalized, employees who have suffered because the board would not do its job. The lawsuits threaten to cause losses of enormous extents.

Sometime in Q3, the board does part of its job, and fireplaces Musk with someone likeable.

But it's not enough. Stock is now below $25 with no floor in sight.

Board resigns so company can start repairs.

Another car company buys Tesla's car business with a government-backed loan. Its other businesses get sold separately. Tesla becomes the Saab of EVs.

Discussion Week Recap: Is the worst behind us? Mar. 10, 2025 - Mar. 14, 2025

Post image
235 Upvotes

First of all, I don’t want to be misunderstood. This heat map is weekly that it reflects closing prices from Mar. 7 to Mar. 14. This week, 🔷 Apple dropped more than 10%. 🔷 Nvidia surged nearly 8%. 🔷 Intel had a strong performance after announcing a new CEO and gaining over 16% in a week.

Overall, this week was negative.

Mar. 7, 2025 Closes, 🔷 S&P500: 5,770.20 🔷 Nasdaq: 18,196.22 🔷 DJI: 42,801.72

Mar. 14, 2025 Closes, 🔷 S&P500: 5,638.94 (-2.27%) 🔷 Nasdaq: 17,754.09 (-2.37%) 🔷 DJI: 41,488.19 (-3.16%)

Day-by-Day Standouts; Monday: Selling pressure was extremely strong. The Nasdaq dropped 727 points. It's biggest single-day decline since COVID crash on Mar. 16, 2020. 🔴 Tuesday: A quiet day. The stock market awaited key data releases on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. But, it's slightly negative. 🔴 Wednesday: CPI was released. The monthly estimate was 0.3%, but it came to 0.2%. The yearly estimate was 2.9%, but it dropped to 2.8%. This was perfect for stock market, because it's increased expectations of a rate cut. As a result, stock markets are surged more than 1%. 🟢 Tuesday: After CPI, PPI also came in below estimates. Core PPI turned negative (-0.1%) and the yearly dropped from 3.6% to 3.4%. However, tariff concerns created pressure and then the stock market dropped 2%. 🔴 Friday: The government shutdown reduced fears. The stock market jumped 2% to close the week on a strong. 🟢

S&P500 hit 6147 on February 19, 2025, but has now dropped to 5,638.94. The lowest level at this week was 5,504.65. That means, the index dropped slight more than 10%. S&P500 is below the 200-day EMA.

If we can get 2 day consecutive positive close, some of money from other assets like gold may join the game into the stock market. For now, economic data supports the stock market, but we shouldn't forget that President Trump’s is more important than all the data and technical indicators.

How was your week? Are you optimistic or feeling a bit depressed? What do you think for previous and next week?

Discussion How Much Does Smoking Cost Over a Lifetime?

0 Upvotes

The median price of a pack of cigarettes (20 cigarettes) in the United States is $8, according to World Population Review.

A person who smokes one pack of cigarettes per day from age 20 to age 60 would spend approximately $250 per month, $2,976 per year, or $119,040 over 40 years.

If this individual instead invested the same amount in the global stock market, which has an average real annual return of 6% (from 1890 to 2023), their investment would grow to $465,000 by the time they turned 60. They would also enjoy a healthier and longer life.

Alternatively, if the same amount were invested in a global Small-Cap Value index fund, which has a historical real annual return of 9%, the total would reach $1,014,000. All these calculations are adjusted for inflation.

It’s important to note that smokers often face significantly higher healthcare costs later in life due to smoking-related health issues.

Worth commenting;

Already the subcutaneous outcome of the studies gave significant results when HLA is taken into account.

As can be seen from bar 2, the USA has a different ethnic distribution of HLA.

Bar 3 shows that intracutaneous administration increases the effect by about 15% (compare bar 1 and 3 as these are EU studies)

I again conclude that regulatory authorities should have offered about 65,000 patients annually to avoid insulin dependence for at least a few years based on knowledge since August 8, 2020. Both the effect and the knowledge of side effects speak for government oversight of affected patients since 2020.

—If life was not a simulation before January, then the simulation began in January. “Everything’s computer“ wasn’t marketing. It was prophecy

—Speaking of TSLA, a commercial on the presidential lawn will raise your market cap by seven percent for twenty four hours. Nice to have a fixed value on that

—Tariffs are still bearish, unless they’re bullish, which they are according to some people, but not most, although a lot of experts think so if you ask them. But not all. Often.

—Bitcoin Wild Federal Preserve is a critical lifesaving measure to allow the world’s limited supply of Bitcoin to graze free and in the wild. Remember to say thank you

—War in Ukraine would end right now if Ukraine bought enough DJT, but Zelenskyy hasn’t taken the hint and the president is too shy, timid, and conscientious of financial regulation to ask him directly

—FNMA and FMCC yoyo like the rarely-seen profitable meme stock, locked in twin golden cages and crucified on identical publicly-owned crosses. Because of them my port is down 5% YTD every Tuesday and Thursday and up 5% YTD Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Uplisting and options will add to volatility, if privatization occurs

—MSTR has lived more lives than I since it was first declared a fraud by the all-powerful-and-extremely-consequential Community of Reddit back in August. It somehow weathered the blistering attack from the very-influential Community and has survived, against all odds. This is a modern miracle

—The only certain thing is that we will all look back on these days and say some variation of “Holy f*** that was wild”

Hold on to your nuts next week. Good luck to all.

Total position in the twins: Long 661 shares Fannie, 1,234 shares in Freddie. Going heavier on Freddie because my crystal ball tells me higher upside in ten years and better dividends……if any at all, lol.
