    Maybe this is it?

    Like I bought into my current house mortgage at $500k. Now I’ve seen a few houses down the road finish building… Mid city in Kenmore WA, for 2.4million. Okay great! I can barely afford my place, how can anyone dream of getting into a 2.4 million dollar house if they’re not the CEO of something or another? My neighborhood has a mechanic, a teacher, a juice maker, a nurse. Like that’s the people here and they don’t have 2.4million. Their kid’s kid’s might one day buy a school book for 2.4 million and look at how cheap houses were today. But not us, now.

    So is this it? Does the market caput and the government just pays off all our loans in a big reset moment? Then everyone starts selling their house back to reasonable money like 200k or 300k?

      I believe that would be MarketAxess (MKTX) which largely deals in bonds AFAIK. Given that bonds are the traditional safe haven asset when traders see the market shitting the bed, them doing well isn’t necessarily the best sign for overall market health…

      Yep. It’s giving some flashbacks to 2008 financial crisis. It’ll take some time, maybe years, before everything recovers. And that’s if Trump isn’t doing his best to make it worse.

          Rumour going around the tariffs would be delayed 90 days gave positive vibes. That rumour is already discredited though.

          what do you mean? the empire keeping us down is dying.

          our forced dependency on it will make for a rough while, then we are literally free to develop for the first time in maybe a century.

          that is if the us doesnt start nuking everything out of spite.

    In the last century 63 years had 10% crashes. This image shows that literally nothing is happening.

        Did you know that Google shows you historical stocks and shares data when doing a related search?

        If googling is too hard for you, then you can watch a video here https://youtu.be/3PxqwZcTpc0 It references each and every source.

          your video is about the FTSE global all cap index which isn’t very helpful for a conversation about the US economy?

          Did you know that Google shows you historical stocks and shares data when doing a related search?

          yeah, google showed me you were wrong as fuck so i wanted to give you a chance to demonstrate otherwise

            The video is about the stock market in general.

              Every stock market is different.
              China markets have a 90 minute lunch mid day. South Korea prohibits short selling (Thailand now too). Taiwan charges 30 bps for overnight positions.
              The nasdaq will become 24 hours soon .

              There’s no such thing as a general market. They’re very diverse.

                  clueless

                  there is no such thing as a ‘general stock market’, are you 12? the video is about a specific global index fund and could not be less relevant to an image of american stocks being blood red. aside from covid, the last time we had a drop this bad was the 80s. i was willing to believe you were just dumb or misinformed but you clearly don’t have an ounce of good faith in you.
